My partner's gifts far from romantic

HE JUST HASN'T A CLUE

- 

I'VE got a big birthday coming up and I’m dreading my partner’s gift. He’s a great fella but doesn’t have a romantic bone in his body.

Last year he gave me a tooth-whitening kit and a slimming book. In the past I've also received a set of screw drivers, a pack of pens and face-waxing kit.

After I gave birth to our daughter in 2022, instead of giving me a diamond ring to celebrate, I got a rechargeable torch. He and I went through three gruelling rounds of IVF to have our daughter and it didn’t cross his mind to buy something frivolous.

He's not a mean man by any stretch of the imagination. One Christmas he paid a fortune for a top-of-the-range exercise bike and horse-riding lessons.
