If your partner is a craftsy type, you could suggest that they craft something for you. It was always those gifts that meant the most to me when I was with someone craftsy. It doesn't have to have utility, or be perfect, it just means the world that someone spent time and thought creating something for you.
A pair of Calico Cut Pants
I don't know what those are, but I did damage some pants recently which I was going to fix. But fixing things annoys the hell out of my spouse because I can usually endlessly keep things going on forever when... we could just go shopping... which would make them excited. I could use a couple t-shirts as well.
I hate shopping... and it drives me nuts that i would need to do it on my birthday... But my birthday is an opportunity to bring joy to my family. People love giving gifts!
I know this sounds all weird and backwards. I just don't really want things, but there are things that I could use which seem mundane to me but can be fun for others to pick.
Thank you!
Still no idea what makes pants calico. Lol.
You want a 6npack of BIC medium black pens
Near perfection. ๐
Maybe a really nice edition of a book you already love, from a luxury publisher like The Folio Society or Easton Press?
A fun idea. For me to get for someone else! Muahaha!
Get a hobby. You'll always need/want stuff if you become a photographer or a fisherman or a pnp-player or a ...
If only for my birthday I could get more resources, like time for hobbies or a huge raise so I have more money than I know what to do with. ๐
LSD
Imagine the gift of wonders that my mind might give me for my birthday! It would be incredible!Either that... or I will suffer a psychotic break. ๐คฃ
if i wanted something other than a bag of cocks i would just buy it
Tell them the they are the only gift you need and how lucky you are to have them in your life. Anything material just pails in comparison.
