"It wasn’t so much a gift, but…
When I was going through my divorce, my future ex wife offered to take me out to dinner on my birthday. The last one we’d celebrate as husband and wife.
It seemed like a nice gesture. A final act of civility on the eve of an ugly process.
So we were sitting there over the appetizers at this restaurant, and I asked “so, how did you find this place?”
“Oh, this is me and (guy she was leaving me for)’s favorite restaurant!”
Worst birthday ever."

#17 yeah tough, but don't expect to get a big gift just because you gave one.

#11 I was the "artistic" one among 7 children, so nearly every holiday present was paper, crayons, markers, paint and brushes, but always the cheapest ones possible that barely worked, and I realized as an adult, a lot of it was leftover office supplies from my dad's work.

Virdie, No such thing as "leftover" office supplies. They were stolen.

I'm not into birthdays for the presents. Buy yourself something fun!

not much of a blunder but something that always made me giggle my paternal grandmother gives every grandkid she has 13 and I don't know how many great-grandkids 100€ at each Christmas and birthdays. and the occasional 10 or 20 here and there. my maternal grandmother the good Christian with 2 houses and an overflowing bank account has 3 grandkids and we get 25€ for Christmas.
My parents and I run a small restaurant and last Christmas she asked us to host her Christmas family dinner we said sure dinner and drinks for 12 people doing all the prep decorating and clean up on one of our 2 holidays we have per year so she felt generous and we each got a 10€ tip.

Wilber,
Husband's remaining grandparents would send him a $100 check every Christmas. After a while he stopped cashing them, and the last check he is keeping because it still has his grandmother's name, and she passed away last year.
