What’s the best birthday gift you’ve ever received?
in the past i Always thought about birthday gift as something practical and that you can use or spend,

- When I went to Romania with Erasmus, we had to live in different countries and distances for a while. And on my birthday he surprised me and came to me. He had to get a visa and he tried all possibilities. I think it was one of the best gifts 😇
- MY LIFEEEEEE
- That sounds like an incredible experience! Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that create lasting memories.
- Everyone know's i'm a "The last of us" LOVER 🤍
- I prefer to give or receive birthday presents that have meaning or a story. I mean, buying a book or a closet doesn't help in creating good memories 😅
That's why I always try to craft a gift by myself or add a story and gamification to the gift. For example, once I gave her an empty notebook with a violin image on the cover (because she played the violin). I asked her to write our best memories in this journal every day, and this was her task. When she completes it, I will receive the journal from her.
So, an empty notebook transforms into a source of stories and memories, and the gift itself holds a story and meaning.
Regarding your question, I actually received a birthday surprise. That itself was the gift. Until that day, nobody had been able to successfully surprise me on my birthday. I always ended up figuring out what they were planning 😅 So, having a genuine surprise party was truly a special gift for me.
