I like to be showered with gifts of jewelry or gift cards to bookstores!

I've always felt conflicted about my birthdays. I love it when my family has small family get-togethers to fete my birthday, but I've always wanted to also have my husband or family surprise me with a real party with other close friends invited too. I've never felt like I had a “real” birthday party that required anyone to do anything other than call to get the cake and I've always wished someone in my family would put a little thought into celebrating my special day. I hate it though when you're at work and the birthday brigade makes you get up in front of everyone to be sung to. It makes me want to crawl under the table.

i would like to be woken up gently, maybe at 10 or so by my sweetie, or maybe my sweetie and my family, with a really wonderful breakfast, fresh breads, lots of cheeses, fresh fruit, some one to have picked up fancy coffees from somewhere, slippers brought right to me and put on my feet, and a blanket around my shoulders (i am always cold) given some nice presents, something beautiful, allowed to sit at breakfast as loooong as we like, no one rushing to go anywhere, hang out in pyjamas as long as i like.
I would really love it if a lot of people remembered my birthday and wrote me nice cards, and gave me little thoughtful gifts, called me, emailed me, came over in the evening on their own imperative and sat around drinking wine, eating something good, there should be flowers, laughing, love, cozyness… we can play some surrealist games, light some candles, no one rushing to get going and checking their watches… sigh… that would be awesome.

A day or a half day at the spa and then spending the rest of the time reading.

Hi. Christina C., best wishes!! We share the same day. It's number 60 for me.
It will be great to be surrounded by my loved ones, including my wonderful husband.
My fantasy birthday would be to travel to Las Vegas, Italy, and Great Britain.
Birthday gifts also would include cut flowers, jewelry, gift certificates for Panera, Barnes & Noble and a donation to Light of Life Rescue Mission for Thanksgiving dinners for the homeless.
