Wati,
Walau apa pun yang you plan to do, its always the thought that counts, mahal atau murah asalkan kita buat dengan ikhlas hati and your partner knows it, itu yang important.
Yang penting, both of you must be happy (macam lagu *yang penting happy pulak*)
That's how I feel - but of course if you can afford to spend its so much the better lah!
As for me, every birthday and anniversary hubby will buy expensive gifts (gold, Rolex, Hajj and Umrah trips, Turkey trip, LV and Coach bags, etc.) but for his birthday he usually don't want anything fancy - just normal gifts which are inexpensive).
