Significant Birthdays

What is classed as a significant birthday?

At work we only get a collection together if someone is celebrating a significant birthday, as I see it they would only be 18th, 21st, 40th and 60th.

What's the general consensus?

    Thankfully we don't have anyone at work celebrating these birthdays ;)

    and as for 80th, 90th and 100th the way things are going with us having to work longer I won't rule these out.

    I'd definitely include 16, 18, 21 and anything that ends in a 0...some people include 25 but I think that's pushing it a bit!
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!
