Me and my wife have the same birthday
Years ago (about 2005/6) we went away to the south of Switzerland for a few days to celebrate it together. A lovely time was being had until we were about to go to bed and the wife says 'since it's our birthdays in the morning shall we open 1 present each now?'.

This was the moment I realised that I had completely forgotten to get a present for her. I suggested we wait until the morning as I didn't have a card for her and wanted to get one in the morning to give with the presents as she really likes a card with a nice message in it. She agreed. I had a chance to save the day.

Montreaux is a shit place to panic buy a present at 9am in the morning. In the end I decided to spend my way out of trouble and so, an hour later I returned with the following items:- Sunglasses, novelty knickers, a ring, a small mantlepiece ornament, joke t-shirt and a watch. I'd even gotten a few of the items wrapped in the different shops. To me, I'd saved the situation with an eclectic mixture of lovely presents.

She gave me an Ipod which were pretty new out and a really decent present. I gave her my presents. She opened her gifts, looked confused then sad and then started crying.

"You just fucking bought these presents this morning you wanker"

"Funny story love......"

The story had a happy ending however as now whenever it's birthday time or christmas she will simply show me an item and say 'That's my present from you'.

And they say romance is dead!
