Sephora

So I went to Sephora today to get the birthday gift. I didn’t know you had to get the gift two weeks before or after your birthday. The lady could have just gave me the gift since it was free lol 🤦🏽‍♀️ 🤷🏽‍♀️

Do people gift your 2nd baby or any after your first?

Had my 2nd baby a week ago and don’t want to sound entitled but I’ve just realised nobody has gifted her anything. We have had some family/friends come visit her but nobody has got her anything. And again I’m not trying to act entitled but now that the thoughts come to me and might be the postpartum hormones but I’m...

Mother's day what do expect

I've seen a load of posts about being disappointed with gifts on mother's day, so it got me wondering what do want or expect to receive? For me, chocolates or bunch of flowers, and family time is all I want.

Mother’s Day gifts - how would you feel?

For Mother’s Day in the past my husbands been really thoughtful - personalised gifts, lovely long messages in the card, signed by the kids, all wrapped up, with sometimes a plan for the day and I’ve felt truly spoilt.

My husband cheated on me and he was just telling me what he wants for his birthday. I’m still mad and don’t think I’ll get over it anytime soon . I don’t wanna celebrate his birthday .

Before you ask me why I’m staying. Because we are in the process of building our home and I’m not getting out of the relationship empty handed . But should I get him a gift?

Expired gift certificate? (Pic on comment)

I got this for Christmas in 2023 and forgot I had it. It says valid until 2025. I plan to go this afternoon. I’m going to ask to use it, but not sure if they’ll take it. I won’t put up a big stink if they say no. If you worked there, would you accept it?

Am I being ungrateful? - Mother’s Day addition

I have 2 pretty young kids (2 & 15 months), so they have little to no understanding of Mother’s Day. A couple of weeks back, my partner asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day, and I told him that I’d seen some pyjamas that I liked, and a cute vase. Both from Sainsburys. Less than £20 in total, so I felt like that w...
