Same as the last 33 years - nothing, not even a card. But I don't get him anything either. It's just what we do (or don't do). We don't do birthdays either. No problems with it but some people do think it's a bit strange.

@SequinnedShawl

Nothing. He dislikes people celebrating Christmas or birthdays so engineers a row so he can opt out.

This may be the last time he pulls that trick on me.

Make sure it is or get yourself someone better.

A dressing gown/blanket thing I asked for, 3 recipe books (one signed with a personal message by the author who I love), some little cups which were meant to be a big cup of pointed out that I liked.
And an expensive beauty advent calendar.

Well after 30 years together, neither of us are depressed at receiving nothing. We understand each other. Same with birthdays, if i want something, i buy it.
There is certainly no expectation a sour face

Several books
New Lucy and yaks

We set quite a strict budget this year so I think we were actually more thoughtful with our gift giving tbh.

Oooh! Which one?

I have harboured serious longing for their Ambre Eccentrico for many a year...

He got me a charm. I got him sweet FA.

I feel so guilty. We weren’t meant to be getting each other anything. As we’ve just brought a house. But he did. Bless him.
