What to get for an ex’s 30th?

Long story short- we’re exes who go on holiday together (deffo not platonic and we still love each other) and he’s hitting the big 3-0 this year so I want to get him something good. I was thinking a pair of silver cufflinks personalised with the coordinates where he grew up and where we met and then a cutesy Latin inscription on the back (as astra per aspera). My friends can’t agree on whether it’s too cheesy or okay so I’m asking here :)
Also if anyone has any ideas for other cutesy Latin phrases then i’m all ears :)

Those are not presents for an ex. Why aren't you together?

I got my good friend cufflinks for his thirtieth. I think it’s a nice idea.

Multiplex est seems appropriate

Why don’t you just get back together?

We would be. But we live in different countries (UK and USA) so it would just be too difficult to maintain a full on relationship :/

How are you exes if you still love each other and go on holiday together and you think those are appropriate birthday gifts?

As a gift it's fine, but not for an ex.

You could still be in a couple even if you live far apart.. if it’s what you both want you could decide to make it work. Agree these don’t sound like presents for an ex! Sounds a bit like you’re living in limbo.. Xx
