My birthday is on Friday. My husband is giving me … heated socks (rechargeable battery).

Once upon a time it was roses and pretty lingerie!

[Mmrr]

Ha ha.But isn't it good to be so comfortable with people, who know they don't need to try and impress ?

That's funny… with your username being Harry & the title being one of his songs, plus I was watching a live stream of his concert in São Paulo last night, my mind was elsewhere!

Happy birthday for Friday. I think most of us can relate to how our gifts have changed from the frivolous & pretty to the necessities to keep us comfy! I know I've had similar gifts, that said they are very often the most used items. My best most recent one was a USB hand held fan which also has a good base to fit it into. It's been well used, the best type of gift.

I would prefer your gifts! Nothing beats feeling roasty toasty and warmth in your heart❤️ HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳

Your socks sound amazing! Flowers and pretty lingerie have their place but, oooh, toasty warm feet! Need I say more other than happy birthday for Friday 🎂

My birthday on Sunday and I’m getting a long line padded gilet from my OH. Roses usually too. Hope you enjoy your heated socks!

at least he didn’t give you a pair of Spanx 🤣

Buy him a screwdriver for his birthday…….& remind him you still like frilly undies, perfume,& expensive handbags!

Don’t let RA rob you of of more than it already has 💃

My ex/husband bought me a fishing rod once. 🙄

I think your hubby is a star with the toastie socks! I might Google them, sounds lovely, I can’t abide cold feet. 💕

Happy Birthday 🥳

My daughter and her partner brought me heated gloves for Christmas last year. Hopefully i will be able to wear then this year. xxxx

Happy birthday for Friday. I actually put things for comfort or pain on my wish list. This year my sister sent me money to buy a new wireless tens machine. It’s easier for me to purchase vat free. It arrived yesterday, so I had to try it out 😂. You can work on 4 different areas at once and seems far superior to the standard nhs wired and dialled one same as nhs provide. Definitely more useful than a bottle of perfume. Enjoy your toasty socks 🤗🎂

Once upon a time I would have loved the roses and lingerie....give me heated socks anyday.🤣🤣🤣

Happy birthday for Friday. I’d be very happy with heated socks very useful and would get a lot of use. Great idea sounds like your husband is a gem and knows you well. At least instead of nice frivolous undies he didn’t buy you long John thermals haha but maybe that’s a surprise and I’ve let the cat out of the bag 😂

I got a heated blanket for my birthday from the husband this year. For perspective we've been married 3 years... 🙄
