My Birthday Wishlist 2014 | Daily Bow

Normally, I would 100% never agree to doing a post like this as I think it can be seen as a bit cheeky and rude but I thought it would be a super fun idea to do for a change. So anyway, my birthday is in a few weeks, and I'm at the stage where everyone keeps asking me what present's I want. For a start, I had asking people for anything and using my current wage I tend to buy all my own things anyway. I tend to just tell everyone "buy me whatever" or "you don't have to buy me anything" and I truly mean it. I'm a girl that loves presents and surprises but I hate to sound cheeky. Especially at Christmas I am usually more excited to give people what I have brought them, rather then excited for what people may have bought me. I think that as you grow older, you loose interest in writing "Birthday present lists" as you buy a lot of it all yourself, but for the purpose of a new blog post I thought I would list a few things that I would like for my Birthday - so I don't have to buy them myself on payday.

As a disclaimer, all the things I am going to write in list are not what I am expecting off people, but simply things that I like and would purchase myself anyway. I also want to point out before I begin, that I will not be disappointed if I don't receive any of these as gifts.

 Frozen

 

The first thing appearing on my list would be the new and very popular Disney film called "Frozen". This film is just simply amazing. I love the catchy songs and the cute story line which really helps to bring out the inner child in everyone...even my boyfriend loves this film. I could literally listen to the soundtrack all and sing along. It brings me lots of little bubbles of happiness, and I can't think of anything better then spending my birthday night watching this film. I like to think that if I was an actual Disney Princess then I would be Elsa and wear a pretty icicle themed dress and swing my lovely long blonde locks around. I then also have to remember that I am an adult now and should keep these childish thoughts to myself haha.

Katy Perry False Eyelashes

For birthday's and Christmas, you literally can't go wrong as I always like to receive eyelashes. For the past 4 years on every occasion my sister will buy me false eyelashes - it's pretty much become a tradition. Thing is, as time's gone on I have become very picky on the eyelashes I like to wear. There was a stage in my life where I only ever liked wearing eyelashes from the Pound Shop. Not only were they mega cheap of course but they suited my eyes really well. As I only have small eyes, I often find it really hard to find eyelashes that I don't have to cut to shape. There's no worse beauty chore then fiddling with false eyelashes. This is where my love for the Katy Perry eyelashes come in handy. Not only are they a brand designed by one of my favourite ladies ever (Katy of course) but they fit my eyes perfectly. No picking, no cutting, no shaping...literally apply the glue and stick! They are perfect. Her design of eyelashes are also really natural looking. I don't like my every day lashes to look false, so her "Sweetie Pie" set do the trick for more casual looks. My second favourite design are her "Oh Honey" eyelashes. These are the set I tend to wear on night out or glamorous event. They are slightly longer and fuller but still look natural. They are really good quality eyelashes and last a long time so they are definatley worth the money in my opinion. 

Cups

You've probably seen this heading, and thought cups? why on earth would she want cups? Well, let me tell you. I have no idea why or how it began but I have an obsession with cups and mugs. I think perhaps it stems from the fact that my Nan collect's wine glasses but growing up I have always loved to buy cups. If ever there's a chance for a new cup, I am on it. I have that many cups in the kitchen that they fill up at least 3 cupboards, not to mention the ones I have stored at my Nan's house or displayed in my bedroom. I just think cups are really cute and make good keepsakes. For example, when I used to visit the Disney shop when I was younger I would always come home with a new cup. Half the cups I buy, never get used. I am always so worried of breaking or ruining them that they take place in cupboard and are unused. I worry that when I move out I will have no where to store my cups. Why do I need more you ask? I don't need more, but I think you can't go wrong when buying me a mug so why not. 

Vintage things 

If you hadn't already guessed then at the moment I am loving every thing old fashioned and Vintage. So for my birthday I would like anything to add to my Vintage collection e.g. teacups/saucers, trinket boxes,bunting or more frames. I really want to dress my room with pretty vintage things as I feel that they are timeless and I will still be able to adore in years to come. Vintage never goes off trend. 

Jelly Sandals

I never thought I would be saying this but I would really really like some jelly sandals. When I was younger, I remember that I had a mini obsession with jelly shoes. I would have glitter ones, pink ones, purple ones, ones with little heels...you name it, I had it. Every morning when I would put on my School summer dress I would spend ages deciding which jelly sandals to wear and which socks. I would style them with frilly socks and I thought I was super cool. Years on, I would never imagine in my wildest dreams that jelly sandals would be okay to wear again! I recently seen some in New Look and debated with myself if I should pick some up or not. I went and tried them on with some loose trousers to see if they would suit me, but I bailed out. I kept thinking "hmm what if these aren't as cool as I think and I look silly". Week's on, I've released how on trend these are and now I really want a pair in my wardrobe. With my upcoming holidays, I feel these are a must have to wear in the sunshine with a cute dress or loose patterned trousers. They are the perfect alternative to ordinary sandals and they could be paired with frilly socks.

Vouchers

 Every year someone will ask if I want money for my birthday and usually I would think that yes perhaps that's a good idea as it means that I can spend it on whatever I want. For example, last year I got £40 in cash so I spent it on a Cath Kidston back pack which I probably wouldn't have brought if I had not have had the money. Since then, I have started driving and I find that I spend the majority of my cash on petrol for work. So this year my mom is not allowing me to have money for my birthday because she would rather I brought myself something then waste it on petrol which I think is super nice and very true. So this year for my birthday I would really appreciate shopping Vouchers for places like Boots, New Look or MAC cosmetic's. This then allows me to buy whatever I want within limit and spoil myself in make up or fashion luxuries which I probably wouldn't buy using my own money. 

These are a few examples of things I would like but not what I am actually asking for. My family and friends are usually fantastic at buying me gifts as they are all so thoughtful so I never normally feel the need to ask for anything. Compared to some people, I actually think I am really easy to buy for: I love cute things, Disney, animals...it's such a wide variety and no matter what the gift is, I will always appreciate what people buy me. I just wanted to make that super clear.
