National Cake Decorating Day

Happy (belated) B'day!

Many moons ago by DBF at the time (now DH) planned a surprise b'day party for me in my own home the first b'day we were together. (read VERY clueless here) By the next b'day we were living together and I got a candy bar wrapped in tin foil! NOT acceptable. I think I slammed it down on the table in a room full of people to show displeasure. Told him it wasn't the amount of $$ but the thought that counted. He took that very much to heart and over the last 16 years I've gotten some very interesting gifts. Also took the opportunity to mention at that point that household appliances were NOT gift items - although I've let him slide on that a couple of times since they were things I REALLY wanted. FF 16 years and he managed, once again, to plan a surprise 50th b'day party and I was once again completely clueless.

Moral to the story as many others here have said - you gotta tell him what's acceptable and what's not. None of us can fix what we don't know is broken!
