 Topic: On Your Birthday..

I just wonder what everyone gets from their partners/husbands for their birthday...
If you don't get anything, do they give you a card, or give you breakfast in bed?

DH will always give me a card and he always writes something really meaningful and sweet in it (I love looking back at all the cards from years ago) When it comes to presents its normally something I have hinted at wanting and a charm for my Pandora bracelet.

My DH was going to get me a facial or something like that but I shot it down cause a) money & b) didn't like place he suggested. Then a few days later I thought, hmmm would like one 
I don't think he got me anything in the end. My parents force us to do stuff on my birthday especially this year with Coopers the day after cuase I'm organising his birthday on mine.

DH normally asks me what I would like and if I can't think of anything he will surprise me with different gifts. They are usually things I love because he knows what I like. And he takes me out for dinner. We have a bday tradition where we choose each others restaurants and keep it a secret, and then try to guess while we are driving there.

I'm having to slowly train DH up. He didn't believe in giving stuff for xmas and birthdays. Our first Christmas together, I handed him his present and he said he didn't get me anything (he actually hadn't, he paid for that for a LOOOONG time) So he's learnt his lesson with birthdays and christmas haha!!!
Last year for my birthday, we moved into our house and I got to spend the day using the rug doctor. Woo!! Haha. But we went out for tea which was really nice. I'm making it a tradition that we're always gonna go out for dinner for each others birthdays. AND presents. Doesn't have to be something big! Last year he got underwear, canterbury shorts and some polo shirts he needed for work. This year he gets a baby (I'm due on the 9th, his bday is the 12th. I think thats only fair enough)

DH generally just gets me a card. He is useless at buying me pressies, he has no idea what to get me! This year though it was my 30th so we went to Taupo for the weekend and went into Michael Hill and I chose a nice bracelet "from" him lol. It's DH's birthday today actually, I bought him a new wallet which he seemed pleased with

Is there anyone that gets absolutely nothing?  I would have been happy with a wee note or something nice to say he loves me - even a bottle of wine?!
I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, as you do... HE got a nice sleep in this morning..
I did get a "Happy Birthday" and a hug.

DH always gives me something nice for my birthday and a card, I do the same for him. Sometimes I get it after work when I get home sometimes first thing in the morning before I get up. I like buying nice things for DH.
Happy Birthday Kaiz

He hasn't for the past four years... every year he asks me what I want, I tell him nothing, so I get nothing. He will tell me to go and buy myself something, which usually ends up being foundation because I need it anyway.
This year I actually TOLD him what I wanted. A facial. This was a few weeks ago. Last week he checked the budget and said we couldn't afford it, so he would get me something in a few weeks when we can.
I guess I am just a bit upset because every year when it comes to his birthday, he always makes sure there is room in the budget for his present.. Last year there wasn't, so I found money and bought him a necklace that he'd been wanting for ages.. took him out for breakfast and the kids made him a card.
I very much doubt he has got me anything.. I would have been stoked with even a note or a message to say why he loved me or something!!! Hes leaving for work at 2pm and will be home at 11.30pm..
Edited to add: Thank you for the Happy Birthdays :)

Happy Birthday!!!!
It's my birthday today too, so far DP hasn't gotten me anything, and has said he has nothing for me. So I told him before he left for work he is taking me out for dinner.

DP usually says the same tyhing... when my birthday comes around, or our anniversary... "sorry, I dont have the money for anything this week" Well shame on him because I scrape together what I can and always get him something I know he needs/wants/will use! When he does eventually get me something its always vouchers cos he says he never knows what I want...

Aww ((hugs))
Sucks when men are dumb! My ex-husband was the dumbest of the dumb. One year he gave my best friend $100 to buy me a xmas gift because he claimed he didn't know what I wanted. Then he was out and about and saw a gift that he thought my best friend would really like so he brought it and wrapped it and put it under the tree. I had no idea it was for her, so kinda assumed he had actually put some thought in to xmas that year. When xmas morning rolled around and he gave me an assortment of gifts brought by my friend - Poo bear bathroom mats, candle holder and a video cassette of the Scorpion King I was a bit baffled to say the least. But was I LIVID with him when I saw the dragon statue he had picked out for my best friend! And all he could say was 'but it only cost $30 - I spent $100 on you!' He just didn't get it. The next year he spent $2000 on jewelery and a cell phone that we could not afford and landed us in even more debt. Needless to say why we are now divorced. (But I still loves my best friend! )

Yes, he buys something for me, and gets me a card from the kids.
No breakfast in bed here though.
