40th Birthday Lust List by fortytherapy
With my 40th birthday rapidly approaching & family constantly asking what I'd like for a present, I sat down with my ipad & starting trawling the net to see if I could give them any suggestions. There's quite a bit on my Polyvore set so I am in no way expecting to receive everything on it, it's more for my reference in case I ask folks to club together for one special gift!!
I'd love a classic black evening bag & although I adore the Marc by Marc Jacobs one & may have to hunt it down whilst in New York, the one from Zara is gorgeous too & would leave more pennies for other things!
After winning my box of goodies from Elemis last year, I've been in love with these products & would love to replace them. The night cream is not cheap though at £95 a pot, eeek!
I really would love a new watch more than anything. I've never been bothered about watches in the past (as displayed by my 21 year old Accurist divers watch currently on my wrist!) but recently, I've really fancied a lovely watch. I took a peek on The Watch Hut & found these watches by Tissot & Citizen, both of which I love. I have tried on the Tissot watch but not the Citizen so I need to try & hunt one down as I love the pop of teal on the face.
Next up are these fabulous rings from Thomas Sabo. I love big, bold & quirky rings - hence the skull ring! - & there are some beautiful ones on the website, I could've chosen so many more.
Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt cologne, need I say more? This scent is delicious & I can wear it without it giving me a pounding headache within an hour, a problem I have with a lot of other perfumes so I might have to get some from Duty Free!
Now the camera is a bit of a cheat as my hubby very kindly bought it for me last year but it had been on my list for a while so I kept it in!! It's such a fab wee camera that offers just as much as a DSLR but without the changeable lenses. I wanted something more compact that would fit in a smaller cross-body bag on my holidays as I would otherwise have to take a whole other camera bag if I hauled my DSLR around with me! I love the funky retro styling of it & the red is fab.
And to finish, no birthday is complete without a lipstick or two from MAC. I'll be in NYC just 2 days after my birthday so I will hold off & get some whilst I'm there as they are a lot cheaper in the States, even with the sales tax added on!
Sorry there's not links to everything but my PC is about to crash & burn I think - it's taken me two %&*("@+ hours to just get this far, it's soooooo slow :(
What did everyone else get on their birthdays (not specifically 40th birthdays!!)

Oooohhh gorgeous picks, Sarah! I did very well for my 40th so I hope you get what you'd like for yours! Lynne xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynne! My dad has hinted that he'll buy me a watch, bless him!! :) xx
DeleteYou've got me lusting over things I didn't even know I wanted with this list! I love the watches, I have a bit of an obsession with Fossil, and their watches in particular, but the ones you've chosen are gorgeous. I love a bit of Jo Malone too, I've always got on well with her perfumes. I feel a visit to Harvey Nicks coming on next time I'm in Manchester...
ReplyDeleteI tend to ask for spending money for birthdays, as that way I know I'll get exactly what I want. For my 40th, the husband and I managed a rare weekend away in London together. Not quite as glam as NY, but I did manage quite a bit of shopping, so it worked out well for me!

I think I'll end up asking for money to put towards things too, luckily my family don't mind doing that!
DeleteI love to get a weekend away with my man no matter where it is but we've been planning this trip for 3 years now, I can't wait now it's only a matter of weeks away!! x
These wishlists are so dangerous aren't they? Gorgeous bits you have there - love the watches! The hubby bought me Coco Chanel for my 40th and I had a big party. Will have to start planning for the 50th in a couple of years! xx
ReplyDeleteI toyed with the idea of a huge party but then we decided to go to New York instead, lol! We'll probably go out for a nice meal with close friends when we're back though. I'll have to plan a party for my hubby's 50th instead!
DeleteI've got lots on my NY wish list, I've already pre-warned Mr F that I will be spending a lot on makeup & that I don't want any eye rolls or tutting!! ;) xx
What a gorgeous wish list Sarah! I love the watches! I hope you are truly spoilt! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea! I'm off to Marrakech in 3 weeks so I'll have a look for for jewellery there too ;) x
