What Do I Want for My Birthday?

Don’t get me wrong…there’s a lot of stuff I could use…like new shoes, for instance. But my life path as of late has me returning to school full time (I’m 35…soon to be…cough cough 29) and I’ve spent the last semester really, really watching my (our) pennies. My husband is asking me what I want for my birthday (no problem there – I appreciate that he wants to know what I want and, quite frankly, he drops hints on me for his birthday with a thud and a splat). I have no idea.

My fruglality lately has me really wanting something different, special – something that I wouldn’t splurge for in these times. The default gift on hold at the moment is a spa day but it just seems so pointless and over once it’s over.

Any ideas?

I have it right here.

Stolen shamelessly from vivalostwages’s thread.

Yojimboguy,

This is a sign.

I actually ripped out the Time magazine article that profiled this thing a few months ago.

I bow to you.

It is the perfect gift for the 21st century couch potato. The voice in my head told me so when the tinfoil hat slipped off. :smiley:
