I am notoriously fucking terrible at holidays, which absolutely includes birthdays. I can remember when my wife and I first got together I got her a goddamn candle warmer for christmas. Like seriously, how goddamn stupid am I?
Since then, I try to knock it out of the park every year. A couple birthdays ago, she wanted to learn how to play guitar so I bought her a custom pearl white Luna guitar. One year we went to vegas for a few days.
If I can't afford something really nice, I at the very least get a card and try to do especially nice things for her that day. Cook a nice meal, get her favorite cake, etc.
I never really celebrate my birthday or expect any gifts because that type of thing doesn't really matter to me, but I know she likes things and wants to feel special so I try to do that for her.
