#gifts - #Boyfriend turns 41 on Thursday and we’ve both been going through it...what can I do to make the day special?


So as the title states me bf for 4 years is turning 41 on Thursday. He turned 40 last year and I went all out with a surprise party, I got my hands on the new tool album signed by Alex Grey, got him a bottle of wine by the lead singer from Tool and even my mom and aunt drove for 5 hours a way to celebrate. It went really well and he was super surprised.I know this year will in no way compare to last year, but I’m really struggling with what to do. We have both been going through a rough time and are just drained. Last week, 4 members of his immediate family were diagnosed with covid. So besides the stress of worrying about family, we were both put on 14 day leaves from work. We are both in education and the beginning of the year is always hard, but with the back and forth between online and offline has put extra stress on us. He is the sole computer technician for his building, so he’s trying to help frantic parents whose devices aren’t working from home and it’s just not going smooth. On the bright side, we both test led negative and should be able to go back to work mid this week.So I want to do something to make the day special, I was thinking of booking us massages for when we get out of work? Having his favorite pizza sent to his work for lunch? He loves steak so I could take him for a nice steak dinner or buy a good quality steak from our local butcher? I’m usually the person who LOVES giving gifts and I’ve always made his birthday super special but this year just feels so awful. He did a zoom call with all my friends to sing me happy bday back in April so I am thinking something similar? Thanks in advance for advice! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/iw4fh3/boyfriend_turns_41_on_thursday_and_weve_both_been/?utm_source=ifttt
