Happy birthday Victory. It sounds as though your family have put in a lot of effort, which is lovely. Do you have any plans for today? Whatever you're doing, I hope you have a great time.

Happy birthday!
Hmm haven't really received any homemade presents, only given them myself. Does a homemade dinner count? Most birthdays my OH makes me a three course swanky dinner as we always enjoy it more than going out. He only does this if I'm working my birthday though, but he literally drops me off at work and then spends all day in the kitchen prepping. It's really lovely.0 -

Happy Birthday Victory.
My best home made present was an album that my sister spent ages making. It was a wedding present and each page told the story of ex OH and my life together. She had cartoon strips, stickers, photos , all sorts.
One page was when we broke up from uni and had a summer apart. She joined to phone stickers on each page and put pictures and photos of what we both had done that summer.
She spent ages doing it, asking my questions( unknown to me) to get all of the stories.
Its a shame it ended in divorce! Lol0 -

I'm so glad your family made such an effort.
I got sent a food/wine hamper from Australia once. I loved it!This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
