This Year’s Birthday Wishlist

Sparkles and Shoes Birthday Wishlist 2019 - Freddies Flowers

Today marks the one month countdown until my birthday and I while I usually wait until September to start talking about my birthday this year, we are going to start a bit early.   It is not a big birthday but that does not mean I do not get excited the closer it gets to September 27th.  As we are now only a few weeks away I have put together a list of things I would not mind to receive, not at all 🙂   Unlike past wish lists this is an even mix of physical items and experiences, ranging from $34 to $800, take a look. 

Sparkles and Shoes Birthday Wishlist 2019

(1) Custom Stationary | In m early and mid 20’s I hit a grove and was excellent about writing thank you notes and I would really like to get back on that.  Granted, sending mail from the UK to the US is nearly £1 but there is a very special touch about a hand written card that an email, no matter how thoughtful, really can not beat.  I used to have great custom stationary and a new set would definitely help with this goal.  (details)

(2) Soho Farmhouse Spa Day |  Located roughly two hours outside of London I have old heard rave reviews about the Soho Farmhouse.  Both friends and colleagues have come back from spa days or weekend escapes to this country estate and gushed about their dozen treatment room rooms, their amazing experience in the ice room or how lovely their steam and sauna was.  From the treatment menu so many things jumped out at me but I would be more than happy with a Bespoke Facial, Deep Tissue Massage, and a Cryotherapy treatment.  And as if it could get better, they also have a pool! (details)

(3)  Chelsea Wine Show   | As I get older I love learning more about wine, that is not to say I am going to buy the most expensive bottle in the shop but it is fun getting to know more about the millions of varieties and slowly but surely being about to pick out a name or two on a restaurant wine list.  In October there is the Chelsea Wine Show where a ticket for the day will get you unlimited tastings from wines around the world and admission to masterclasses – yes please! (details)

(4) All Saints Leather Jacket | I have wanted one for ages and I am not sure what has stopped me from biting the bullet, maybe my loyalty to this one or the fact I flip flop between which style I like the most.   You would think with the amount of time I have spent looking at them that I would know by now … I definitely know what I do not want (a cropped jacket, a non-black jacket, or one with a belt) but they have so many classic styles it makes it hard to choose. That said I would be VERY happy with either the Balfern or the Fia, especially as both can be worn open or closed. (details / details)
 
(5) Fresh Flower Subscription | One of my London friends has this and it gives me a pang of longing every time I see the gorgeous blooms on my Instagram feed.  I reached out and got all of the details,  she uses Freddie’s Flowers which for £24 per week delivers fresh cut flowers to anywhere in the UK and these are not your standard grocery store flowers – think decadent peonies, stunning lilies, or exotic aliums – swoon!  (details) 
 
(6) Unlimited Spinning and HIIT |  No, it is not lost on me that the girl who used to complain about exercise now has a gym membership on her birthday wishlist but hey, people grow up and change.   It has taken me over a year of living in London to find a workout routine that I really like but better late than never.  The combination of High Intensity Interval Training classes at F45 by my house and competitive, computerised  spinning classes at DigMe by my office would be the dream. (details / details)
 
Which of these items would top your wishlist?
