Mine is tomorrow...going to a nice steak dinner then hopefully a BJ or 3.

Her's is the 15th, in lieu of gifts we are going on a long weekend away at the end of the month.

Men (and woman) of the Chatter...what do you do/spend for your wife/kids' birthday and do you ever get that back in return?

I spend plenty on my wife, and ask that she doesn't spend a dime on me.

I always go out for a nice dinner for my/wife's b-day. Never had a bad birthday but I think they are less fun after you turn 21. Looking forward to turning 16/18/21 was fun, now each year I just feel like I'm getting older.

lol A lot of places will rent to someone under 25...


I really have never done anything memorable for my bdays. I've always been the "it's just another day" type of guy. My friends did throw my a party for my 23rd, it was a good time. Other than that, I can't think of any other bday that was better than another.

I have spent anywhere from $50ish to $200 or so on birthdays for significant others. I've also gotten some semi-expensive gifts and some that were less but that were also thoughtful. Just depends on the person, time of year and/or what's going on near the time of said birthday. Concerts and sporting events are usually in the mix.

Always celebrate my wife's birthday with a nice dinner. My birthday usually falls on a holiday so we incorporate the celebrations.

Meh. I am 45 years old birthdays mean little to me. More about making other people feel important.

Turned 25 earlier this year. It was a good birthday. Awesome bday sex from a hot girl (although she's kind of crazy) In Gatlinburg.

I'd say any bday you spend with friends drinking is a fun birthday.

No way.

Birthday...got nothing.
Christmas....got a massaging thing for the chair that I never asked for, nor do I need, and she uses it for her back issues. I felt like the episode of The Simpsons when Homer got Marge a bowling ball as a gift with the name HOmer on it...

I've only had two since 21, but they weren't quite as awesome as the first (legal) drinking binge.

For my 29th birthday we spent a week in Arizona for spring training. For my wife's 30th (end of July) we are having a party at the house. I win.

But seriously, we are going to SF the end of June for our anniversary so we can't swing two trips that close together.
