My People Get Me: Great Gifts for 30th Birthday!

I really had no clue that my last post would stir up so much emotion in so many people. I’m beyond thrilled that quite a few of y’all could relate and did not immediately jump the gun, thinking I was crazy. I was writing from my heart, which doesn’t happen nearly enough. I appreciate your comments, facebook messages, texts and phone calls to discuss it and to share your struggles. If you missed my “What’s Hiding Behind My Selfie” Post, I highly recommend that you circle back to it and take a minute to ponder your own online presence.
Now on to today’s show!
Today, J and I are continuing our Not-So-Dirty 30 series with: Birthday Gifts!

Since my birthday has already passed (in this month long celebration) I figured I would give you a little glimpse at how awesome my friends and family were when it came to gifting this year!
First of all, apparently a lot of them read my blog. I definitely racked in the gift cards! I have a Target, HomeGoods, and TJ Maxx shopping spree in my near future! Eeek!
There are just some things that folks need in their lives, and pink flamingos are it!

You don’t get much cuter than these! My neighbor gave them to me, along with a bottle of wine! Anyone who thinks it’s okay to give me pink flamingos totally gets me. {And the hubs hasn’t kicked them to the curb yet!} While others may think they are tacky, I personally feel like they are the perfect summer time welcome crew!

My folks “surprised me” {I may or may not have picked it out} with this hot pink garden flag holder and matching “Welcome Y’all” flag! Again, the perfect way to greet guests at our front door.

I’m also pretty pumped that the flamingos match perfectly!

Let’s be twinsies. You can find a similar Welcome Y’all flag here!

{I’d be lying if I told you otherwise - but I’m becoming obsessed with these little flags. I have a couple in my back yard also. I’m going to start changing them out per the season. Just like my mom used to do. Pretty sure this is a sign of aging.}

My sister, who prefaced her gift to me with “you may already have this” NAILED IT when shopping for me. I have seriously been coveting this bag for over a year. {Last season target had it in silver, not gold. Gold is even better!}
Seriously. This screams Suz.

Due to my gluten intolerances and my pinterest wishlist, Katie gave me the most relaxing birthday cake ever! Who doesn’t love bathing in birthday cake anyway?

The hubs surprised me with jewelry! I love this fresh looking Sergio Gutierrez bracelet. He told me that he picked one bracelet out for me at High Ho Silver and the lady asked him if I would like it. He realized that HE liked it, so he knew I wouldn’t like it. Instead, he picked out this one, because he didn’t like it, which meant that I would like it.

Does my husband get me or what?!

I also got some home renovation and coastal magazines, a sign that captures the absolute definition of “The South,” some fun Versona Style Jewelry, a ton of hair products {that I will review at a later date} and the best time possible on a surprise birthday party on a boat!
As we continue this series, head over to J’s blog Bless Her Heart Y’all and see what she is hoping to get for her birthday next week! She will officially be joining me in the Not-So-Dirty 30 Club next Friday! Which reminds me, we will be wrapping up this series with yet another awesome birthday giveaway! Come back next week for all the deets!
