How would you feel if your boyfriend/husband gave you a $100 for your birthday instead of a gift? x

Absolutely disappointed cuz that is so lazy and thoughtless… how can i be with someone and put so little effort for them on my birthday… i would definitely be reconsidering how i value them in my lives if it’s not an equal relationship

Personally that would be ideal for me, I’m a bit picky about the things I want to bring into my life and I love to get to choose exactly what I want

from anyone else i would say hell ya bc money’s always nice lmfao esp bc you can get exactly what you want but from your BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND i would expect more than that. like if he wants to do a thoughtful gift & throw in an extra hundo that’s totally cool

We share all our finances, so I would be annoyed. We usually do something together so it’s the thoughtfulness of him planning something that matters to me. Especially as I earn more than him right now, that’s just giving me back MY OWN MONEY, that’s not a gift 😂😂😂

Depends if it was towards something specific. Generally we tend to do lists.

I wouldn't mind. I've lost weight since having my second baby and I'd love to buy some new clothes, but maternity pay stocks so I'm just making do with what I have. I guess to make it more personal, I'd like him to come shopping with me

It wouldn’t bother me because I am not big on gifts 🤷‍♀️ usually I tell my husband that a nice picnic is fine otherwise he will go overboard. It’s materialisitc things

It would bother me cause we are married I can use his money at any time, it’s our money. I’d rather him get me just flowers over money. I can still go buy what I want, but it shows he at least thought about it with the flowers

Coming from a place where we both earn plenty of money and I can buy whatever whenever, I would be really annoyed. Completely thoughtless ‘gift’.

My boyfriend/baby daddy didnt give me anything or do anything for my birthday 😭👎 he said hed give me $150 but didnt even do that 🥹 anndddddd i three him two parties for his birthday!! And got him gifts 😭

I would prefer this 🤷‍♀️

Being gifted isn’t important to me: in fact, I prefer you don’t buy a gift and wrap it for me. Cold hard cash is fine if you must gift me.

My man knows this and generally won’t gift because if I want something (within reason) it’s mine. It don’t need to be my bday.

Him, he loves a thoughtful gift. He Wants it to be wrapped up and honest would love a crazy story to go along with it ( but he doesn’t obviously expect this part). So he would be extremely butt hurt if I just gave him cash and kept it moving.

If your partner knows you like gifts to be thoughtful and wrapped—the he fucked up and needs to make it up to you.

I’d prefer it

Depends tbh I think it I'd asked for this then great but otherwise I'd want a gift

@Briella well you know what he should be getting next year then 💩💩

I personally prefer money anyways that way I can get whatever I want when I want it .

We both have access to the exact same money/accounts. This would basically be him just telling me my own debit card is my gift. And that would not fly. Ever. A gift has to have some thought to it.

Prefer it! And then I know he'd listen cause I have banned gifts in our relationship 😅 I hate receiving and giving gifts! It's just a waste of money when people could get what they want instead.

It does seem a bit low effort🫤 But if he presented as ‘on Saturday I’ll take the kids out all day, go treat yourself to a massage/ shopping etc.’ then there’s at least a bit of thought behind the cash!

Although a gift would be nice but money is also a gift. I prefer money instead ☺️

Id be disappointed that he didn't put thought into it. In all honesty I'd end up spending that $100 on the kids. There was one year my husband got me a small gift and gave me $300 to shop for new clothes and the day to go shopping without the kids. That was nice.

I’m picky so I wouldn’t mind

If they have a different taste from mine, I would rather get the money.

I wouldn’t be bothered honestly I can’t have flowers due to my hay-fever and I pretty much can get what I want when I want either way he still thought about it not everyone knows what they want either

This & watching our son so I can walk around a store and take my time would be so good

My partner gave me double this from him and my daughter, I was 20 weeks pregnant at my birthday, and I know I’d rather have the money after I’ve had baby so I can buy things I’m gonna want/need for myself then x

I’d rather have a bunch of my fav flowers than £100 to spend.

Maybe a little disappointed as seems no effort was put in.
If he made a day of it and said let’s go it for a meal, cinema, activity etc would seem different.
I’d rather a £10 present with thought then £100 cash.

No effort so disappointing

All our money is shared so for me this would be a massive cop out 😂 that said I don’t expect big gifts but him getting me flowers and a cake or something or taking me out somewhere nice is perfect for me!

I’d be happy if he gave me 100 and said let’s have a day out buy something for yourself and I’ll get us food

I’d give the money back to him and tell him to make a booking and take me out ASAP. But he won’t ever give me just money he knows this girl wants to wined and dined, no gifts, so that’s what he does every year, every occasion. He makes a date night

Can we make it $250

I don't want a gift.
He mostly gets me things HE wants me to use. Like perfume when I NEVER wear it. Or a random t-shirt that I wouldn't have chose based on the material and size and shape if it.
Then he gets pissed and continuously brings it up
