I do! I'm terrible when it comes to telling people what I want for my birthday too....I have most of what I want/need, and I feel awful for saying 'I want this/that'...it makes me feel selfish, somehow. I don't know why.
Anyway, I usually tell people what I like, and let them take it from there. My wishes this year would be:
Anything from Bath and Bodyworks Pure Romance 'Amber Myrrh' line. I LOVE that scent, and I love that it's affordable and lasts for a good long while. It's about the only stuff I can wear that doesn't make me break out, and I use it daily.
I have this thing for funky socks. Stripey, patterned, knee high, ankle...if it's non-white and non-plain, then I'll like it. I don't know why I like socks like that, I just do, and I DO wear them. I've even started knitting my own funky socks, and I've found a method whereby you pick up stitches around the edge of ankle socks and knit a cuff onto them. I LOVE wild and crazy socks, and I hope I get a pair!
Something that's always a sure-fire wondeful gift for me is anything knitting related. I've seen some knitting bags recently that I've really liked - one of them was at Wal-Mart. It's a straw basket exterior, lined with fabric, and inside it has pockets for needles and patterns and things. It's pretty inexpensive in comparison to some of the bags I've seen (under $20; some of the ones in higher end knitting stores have been $50 - $100), so I'm hoping that someone will be inspired to think of me when they see it. But, as I said, anything knitting related is always, always a welcome gift.
I think that this year I'd like to go to Baskin Robbins and get a banana split instead of a cake. I know that my flying lesson is at 0830 and I know too that we're going to the pool that day (Dave's taking a day of leave), but apart from that I have no plans for my 37th on Friday. I'm just going to see what happens as the day passes by!
I am INCREDIBLY excited about flying this plane, though. I think that this is the best gift I've ever gotten!
