My birthday soon, what to get?

Morthoseth · 8 Mar 2009 at 11:49

Right, it is my birthday one day next week and before then i have to try and decide what i want to get, now it has been insisted upon me that my parents will buy me something, or give me money to buy something myself.. in the region of 2-400 pounds.

Now, the question is what do you buy the person who has everything! I've looked all over OcUK and random websites selling things and nothing has jumped out at me, so perhaps you guys can suggest something!

I have -

Decent computer + monitor
contract phone
iPod touch
xbox
ps3
psp
speakers
ipod dock
plus more but i cant rmember / forgot the rest

Was thinking a netbook but then there is one in the house that doesnt get used so it seems a bit pointless...

I love gadgets, is there anything out at the moment that is worth a look?

Can't you tell them to give you money so then you can just buy what you want? And probably find it cheaper then they will

I used to get £20 note in a card, now I don't bother with birthdays. Thats a hell of a lot of money, perhaps too much?

Start a pension fund.

I have tried telling them that i dont really want anything, but they insist! XD

20-40 £10 whores.

Then get the money and spend it on them? Take them out for dinner at a nice place, let them know that you have always appreciated them and what they have done for you?

That is an awesome idea mate! Didnt even cross my mind, how selfish am i!?

Buy a mountain bike, good fun way to keep fit.

All the stuff you listed makes you sound like someone that doesnt get out much.

Edit, also rollins idea is a pretty nice thought.

Only child?

Take them out to dinner. One day they won't be there and you'll have to do it all for yourself.

Morthoseth · 8 Mar 2009 at 12:20

First of two, but my father has a well paid job and a such that is why they insist usually, i really like the idea taking them out for dinner, i'm going to look into that rather than think of myself :-)

As for not getting out much, Ranger07 - you are dead right!

You don't need a weather station to know which way the wind blows.

I'd get them to pay for a nice meal out or a holiday to centre parks, something everyone can enjoy.

everything on black

guessing if your dad is allready loaded you'll prob have them anyway but some sort of saving bond or something?

Take the money, spend the lot and get a medal from Gordon Brown for kickstarting the economy.
