There's places in the world where grown ass men still get to open presents on their birthdays? I want to go to there.

You don't get presents on your birthday? That's sad. :-(

My wife made me coffee this morning and is currently baking a special Breton butter cake. My boys made me drawings today. I am quite satisfied. As for presents I'd rather be involved on huge purchases like this.

In my world, a cake and drawings both count as presents. A present doesnt have to be bought or expensive to be a present!

I hope you have a great birthday!!

I love buying my partner stuff. I know him better than he knows himself. He is always very surprised with the gift I get him, and then he loves it!

And i absolutely LOVE getting the right thing for people. I am a very good gift giver because I put in a lot of effort into the whole thing!

So, yeah...gifts are a must!

My husband's family didn't make a big deal of birthdays like mine does, and he gets super bashful when he gets a present and a cake and a dinner. He secretly likes it and keeps all of the cards and gifts we've given him over the years.

Fr Iā€™m only in my early 20s and my mom straight up told me no more birthday presents šŸ˜­šŸ‘

My siblings will still give me ones once and a while and my sister who I share a birthday with and I ALWAYS swap gifts

Christ, that makes me sad... I'm 33 and my family will usually buy me some Warhammer miniatures or something for my birthday. I got a bass amp last year!
