Today is my 33rd birthday. Why yes! Happy birthday to me!
You know how Oprah does her favorite things shows and talks about how reasonably priced some of the items are, but really they’re only reasonably priced if you make $260 million a year? Yeah, so I’m going to share with you my favorite “reasonably priced” gift ideas. In the event that you are reading this and are Oprah-rich (or Oprah herself..hi Oprah!! squee!), please feel free to buy one (or all) of these things for me.
Thanks in advance to my well-to-do readers. Your generosity is most appreciated.
I know it’s wrong to covet thy fellow blogger’s camera, but I think I really MUST have a Canon 40D just like Casey’s. She let me hold it and caress it and hear it’s intoxicating clicking sound. Accompanying lenses and gear would be a lovely way to complete the gift and commemorate my special day.
While I realize I’m one of last people on Earth who doesn’t own these, I’m finally ready for my iPhone, iPod, and macbook. One of each, please.
A $5000 gift card to Williams-Sonoma should cover most of my much coveted items. Oh the cookies I could bake.
I’m a huge fan of my Honda Pilot. However, I’d like to have something a bit more sporty for those rare occasions that I’m alone and driving around blaring Britney Spears with the windows down. A Porsche Carrera GT, silver, with black leather interior would certainly fit the bill.
And if you’re feeling super generous, I would truly enjoy a week long vacation at a 5-star resort in Hawaii, complete with a personal butler and masseuse (a good masseuse, though. Not one that will torture me). My children would need reliable childcare while I’m away, so if I would need some recommendations for a nanny.
I realize that it’s highly unlikely I’ll actually get any of these for my birthday, but in the event you’ve made a purchase for me, please let me know in advance when to expect delivery of my gifts. I want to make sure I’m home and not out shopping at Meijer.

Happy birthday. If you find you accidentally get an extra of any of your presents? I have none of those things.

Great choice with the Canon! That is a way better camera than the Rebel, and well worth the extra money.

Happy belated birthday! I love that $5000 should cover MOST of the cost at Williams Sonoma – I can do such damage there is a very short amount of time. I congratulate you on your exquisite taste of gifts and if two people give you an iphone, maybe you could offer one up as a bloggy surprise? Cause that’s one thing I’ve had my eye on for quite some time:)
