Hi
For me, a simple Happy Birthday is enough, in general.
I did tell my husband that I wanted a surprise birthday party for my 40th birthday, mainly because I wanted to have a party with my friends, and I reckoned that for once, it could be someone else who organized it. :whistling: The surprise was that it took until my 50th birthday before it happened. :blink: Since I had basically given up on the notion, it actually did come as a pleasant surprise. :)
However, in general, once adulthood struck, birthdays were no longer any big deal. Best wishes suffice.
