We travel to Europe every year (since we got married 4 years ago) during my birthday period for 10-14 days. But this year has to cancel as will give birth to BB soon.
For Anniversary and Christmas, we normally stay at home for dinner, sometimes no gifts, as we want to save money.
Rarely receive flowers, as he thinks flowers are expensive and no use. Never receive flowers on Valentines Day. I remember only receive flowers on the 1st day he dates me, last year's birthday in London, and 1 flower on a birthday 3 years ago (he's cheap cheap).
My husband and myself do remember all special days.
