My gfs 30th birthday is on the 27th December, how do I make sure she doesn't feel overlooked?
Hi so I've been long distance with my gf for five years, just moved in together in April. Since she's turning 30 and this is our first birthday together I'd like to make sure she feels remembered, because her birthday just always gets swept into Christmas. I've bought her a 30th anniversary pokemon plush and keyring set, the fancy hardback shiny edition of a book she likes, and a gamecube with two controllers and ten games bundle for her birthday since her dad sold hers when she was a kid. Obviously I've bought her the usual Christmas things and a couple of fallout game of the year edition games along with matching pj's, her favourite truffles, and tiramisu flavoured Irish cream.
The issue at this point is budget due to moving, but also travel during Christmas is a fucking mess and I don't have a car. We're currently living with her parents, so a romantic dinner might be hard to pull off, but like Idk if going out would work either. Obviously I'm planning to bake her favourite red velvet cake on the day, but I'm not sure how else to make her feel prioritised and special. Does anyone know any nice local spots to take her that would be open on the 27th? In Blackpool uk if anyone has suggestions.
