Am I being precious?

[Cetera]

Is it precious to think a milestone birthday present should be wrapped up nicely, even if you know what it is? For some reason it feels a bit sad to not even have a bit of birthday wrapping paper around it to make it feel more special. It’s unlikely I’ll have any other presents to open so that’s probably why I feel like this. Maybe I should just wrap it myself rather than leave it in its postal bag. 😏

But then you won’t get to be all martyrish and sad about it

I wrap presents for myself because I like a beautifully wrapped present. I don't care if that's a bit mad.

It shows lack of effort and thought not to wrap it.

Thanks for your input!

I don’t think I’ve ever been given and I certainly wouldn’t give a present in the postal bag.

Lazy and a real lack of effort.

Depending of who it was (assuming partner here?), I’d definitely say something.

Not precious at all! Shows a lack of care which is usually evident in other ways.

Happy birthday my lovely 🎉💐

Who is the gift from?

I really wouldn't care, tbh. But then I think wrapping paper and gift bags are just a waste of time and money, lol.

We tend to use nice gift bags rather than paper, not much wrapping paper is recyclable. And the gift bags get used again and again! I'd be a bit miffed at the lack of effort if DH gave me a gift still in its postal bag!

Yanbu i would want to unwrap at least one present on my birthday and Christmas

Happy Birthday OP. Your DH (presumably) has shown a lack of care on your special day which probably indicates a lack of care in other areas. I bet you treat him better on his birthday don't you.

No, you are not being precious, whatever it means. I couldn't care less though, as long as the present was MY choice only.
May I ask what the milestone age is?
