My favorite birthday memory would have to be.. growing up we never had a lot of money so instead of presents (we couldn’t afford them) my mom would let us choose what we wanted for our special birthday dinner. She would try to get us a cake but that wasn’t always a possibility so we were happy with dinner. We got to go to the store and get the ingredients and to us kids, it was enough. We didn’t whine and complain about what we didn’t have or what we wanted and weren’t getting. We were just happy that we were together and actually having something for dinner.
I love the seafoam print laptop bag from Gussy!

I’m not a big birthday celebrator but September has always been my favorite time of year, it’s just a time of new beginnings for me! I just got a wristlet from Gussy about a month ago but I’d love to have one of those gorgeous laptop bags!

Last year, my husband set up a surprise lunch with my parents and brother (they lived 4 hours away and we didn’t see each other often). It was great! My first birthday as a mother and I got to see all my loved ones.
I love the Gussy Damask laptop bag in Red.

Hey Cindy, just wanted to drop by and say happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great one! I’m not entering the giveaway as hubby keeps saying I have way too many bags. But those are beautiful items! I’ll tweet this as well.
My favorite birthday was the one I celebrated with my husband and daughter at Disneyland
I would LOVE to have a Gussy make up bag.

My favourite birthday memory – hmmm — oh not a good memory but for my 16th birthday we were stuck in a full on ice storm and were without power for 3 days – wicked sucked.
I would LOVE any lap top top bag from Gussy!

One of my fave birthday memories was my 18th. My bday is close to Christmas so barely anyone can come celebrate, but I had close to 30 friends come and felt so special
I’ve been eyeing a damask tote with red ruffle for a VERY long time now!

4th Birthday I kid you not, I remember! My bday is 12/28, so typical bdays consisted of Christmas dinner and a present with my Brother whose is 12/25. Location: McDonald’s + Present: Cabbage Patch Doll = BLISS

Entry 23 and 24
Happy Birthday! August is a great month! I just turned 30 on August 4th, no kidding!! (I blogged about it, if ya want to peek)
My favorite birthday memory is when I got my first bike. It was bubble gum pink with a white, banana seat, and a white basket on the front. The kind of basket with the plastic flowers. I remember it so vividly because I knew that my parents worked hard to be able to get it for me.
A $50 shop credit to Gussy’s shop would be an awesome gift for a great birthday month! I would definitely go for a lap-top bag.
Thanks so much!

My favorite birthday is my 24th. I spent it with my 2/3 of my favorite people, doing things I love (thrifting and park-hopping). I would really love to get a headband and wristlet.
Entry 26
Happy birthday!

My favorite birthday was probably last year. It was my first with my daughter, and I’d finally lost all my baby weight and a total stranger came up to me at dinner and told me I looked great in my dress.
I love everything at Maggie’s shop, but I have been coveting the Chatty Gus purple floral zipped pouch…

My favorite birthday memory is my 7th birthday party camping out in the backyard with all of my friends. We thought it was the coolest thing.
Oh and I love everything Gussy makes but I am dying for a wristlet and headband!

Entry 31
Thanks for the awesome giveaway Cindy! My favorite birthday memory is probably right before I went off to college. It was just me and my parents and they bought me a guitar. It was nice because those moments would happen less and less as i was moving off.
ok, I took a peek at Gussy’s shop again, and I love her stuff btw! I think I’d go for the Gus for Work #78 one but all her stuff is adorable!
I tweeted about it too

Entry 35
My favorite Bday memory is a recent one…. I was pregnant, had just gotten released from SIXTEEN weeks of strict bed rest, and was waiting for our first child to arrive (he came 9 days later). My hubby (his bday is the day after mine) and I went out for dinner at a fancy restaurant to celebrate the coming baby, both birthdays and the release from bed rest.
My Fav Gussy item is the damask tote. LOVE IT!

My favorite birthday memory was being on our honeymoon 7 years ago…and being stranded in Manhattan due to that huge blackout (you guys remember that?). We had to sleep on the ground of the tiny hotel lobby. It was still my favorite birthday because I was so happy to be married to the best other half there is. And 7 years later, I still hold the same sentiment.
I LOVE Gussy’s stuff! Ruffly ruffly ruffly! I think my favorite item is the red umbrella clutch.
Happy big 3-0! I’m turning the same age myself in a few days!
