I'm excited to have a "milestone" birthday this weekend and want to do something different. What did you treat yourself to for a big birthday?

First of all Happy Birthday!!!! It’s a blessing to see another year 🥰 You should definitely do something you truly enjoy for yourself. For me it’s a yoga retreat, a hiking trip to a national park or just lounging at an all inclusive resorts with no care in the world 😊 Beach, kayaking, paddle boarding or just sipping a cocktail by the ocean /pool.

Happy birthday! I hit 51 last year, and I couldn’t have been happier! Every year is one to be grateful for…

For me, celebrating most always involves a trip somewhere special with people I love. Not sure you can do that last minute, but what about splurging on a really nice meal - like really nice!, getting a massage and facial, and/or spending time in nature? Or I don’t know where you live, but you could do something cool like a hot air balloon ride, bungee jumping, a wine tour of nearby vineyards, a helicopter tour of a nearby big city, etc.

A nice watch.

A gift that recognizes this milestone (jewelry) and whatever you enjoy doing. It’s your day. Splurge and don’t feel guilty

Awe Happy birthday OP. I too have a September birthday and it is Virgo season baby. I think this year I am going to treat myself to a designer bag when I go to Paris in October. I have been thinking a lot about it and saving for some time. I think it really depends on what you are into but definitely treat yourself.

I turned 40 this year and took a week off work! My parents visited and took my husband and me out for sushi. Then we bought a house a few months later... That was the big splurge.
