Name items under $250 you would want for your birthday.

[Mr. Moo]

My birthday is in less than two weeks and my wife asked what I wanted. Aside from unrealistic things like a Glaser bag, I can't think of much that isn't clothing that can be purchased easily by her (i.e. in a store and not on the B&S forum, eBay, etc.) Any style/fashion items in that price range that aren't niche pieces (i.e. something I can actually use daily/weekly) Any ideas?

hmmmm. do you want something non-clothing?

is a really nice meal (+sex) already a given, or does it count against the $250?

Faliero Sarti scarf, €150-300.

I saw some bitchin' Dries scarves at MAC recently. Don't know how much, but around that, I think.

Clothing items are perfectly fine.

I tried "getting into" pens, and just couldn't do it. I lose too many pens and just end up using whatever's around.

Tiffany's tie bar?

 

[HRoi]

those Romano Martegani chelsea boots that were PSA'ed around here for $247.xx

A nice wallet or maybe a nice umbrella.

people in my life are never good at buying me clothing items. they usually don't fit or are not what I want.

I'd usually ask for cologne or other things like shoe trees, shoe polishing materials, hangars. it's boring, but I'd appreciate that stuff more than clothes I won't wear.

Also, I know he gets a lot of flack around these parts, but the Tom Ford cologne is AWESOME.

Hmm, interesting. I don't wear tie often though, and never tried a tie bar to see if I like it.

Not in my size, sadly.

She gave me a fantastic Gucci wallet a few years ago that is still looking new. And here in the Bay Area, it doesn't rain much.

I feel like an ass.
