Do you think it's important to celebrate anniversaries and make effort on birthdays for your other half or not big deal

Not at all important.

I don't celebrate my birthday and have no interest in anniversaries.

No, some will disagree however, I'm with JustAMusing.

I think birthday's are important for children though

Depends how they feel about it. If they see them as important then I think it's important to make an effort. Shows you care about how they think/feel. If they aren't bothered about it Too much maybe just acknowledge that's the event is on that day. Me personally I'm not fussed about my own birthday so dont expect much but I always make a big deal out of my partners and we both plan anniversaries. It's nice to be made to feel special.

It's up to the recipient. You do what matters to your oh. I like a low level acknowledgement. My oh likes more. We try to provide and I worry whether I'm giving enough and he worries he's giving too little. We care, so we try!

I'm for low level acknowledgement. Would absolutely hate a big fuss and loads of attention, but would be hurt at no acknowledgement or effort whatsoever.
