I do not know many people who do not like birthdays! Yes, it signifies another year passed and getting older but for me, it means getting to act like a kid again! Blowing out candles, opening gifts and best of all bossing everyone around for a day. I probably do that anyway, but at least now I have a licence to do it! I thought it would be fun to share a few of the things on my Birthday Wishlist.
On My Birthday Wishlist
January is quite a significant month for me – it is the beginning of a brand new year, it is my birthday month and it is also the month I first became a mom!
For as long as I can remember, birthdays have been a very special time for me and for us as a family. I have never really been keen on big parties, personally, I prefer spending quality time, with the people closest to me.
Naturally, one the questions I always get from family and friends, just after Christmas, is “What is on your birthday list?” You can well imagine that this is the last thing I feel like thinking about, after spending the past month gift shopping, which is why I always compile a birthday wishlist.
My Wishlist
People do not have to go strictly by my birthday wishlist but I find most people are only too happy to be guided in the right direction and get me something I either need or love! The things on my birthday wishlist above are a few of the special items I would love.
Jewellery is usually on the top of my list and I love the Heart Ring above by WHY Jewellery. I already have a Kirsten Goss Lifesaver necklace and would love to add a new pendant to my collection. The Fossil Preston Crossbody bag is more of a need than a want, as my existing bag is falling apart. I also prefer real leather when it comes to buying bags, as they last longer – think of it as an investment! I also love anything fitness related and one of my goals for 2015 is to get into Yoga a more seriously!
Over and above these items I love smellies – candles, anything from LUSH and mostly anything Vanilla fragranced!
Do you make a birthday wishlist or do you prefer to be completely surprised?

Love your wish list! I am also a January baby, celebrated 3 days ago. I always have a wish list going but my husband in particular believes gifts should be a surprise, and thankfully, always exceeds my expectations and has me shrieking like a 5 year old 🙂
I also have a birthday this month and our only child was born this month some years ago, sharing her birthday with the greatest entertainer the world will ever see. Happy birthday to all those celebrating birthdays this month.
