It's pointless really, every birthday of his is , simply put, torture. I mean what could you possibly get him, a watch? He has a whole cabinet just for his watches, you can't get him anything new. There is a Casio vintage that you got him with some money of your own, and that was years ago, he keeps it in a special box.
You said it yourself, no big money gifts, so the order is: clothes and that is specifically shirts. And books, you can't miss with books. At the end of the day you make him a nice cake, batter smudged by your kids hands and with that he gets to be with you. Who's the real winner in that marriage?🙄

Fishing. That's it, it's going to be some new fishing gear that he wants to try. You just spot something that he doesn't have, and there it goes, you don't even have to know it's function.
Also, TOYS, mini model of his bike, his car, like one of those lego sets, but the set would be his bike. You get him something unusual and weird every time, at the start of the marriage you got him a toy of mini, tiny fish, no keychain just fish, and he carries it in his backpack all the time.
Don't even bother with clothes, Khabib gets him that, you don't even care to look in clothes section.
● Umar
Artsy boy, you paint him something and he's over the moon. Before you got married you gifted him one of your old landscape paintings, it was tiny and looked kind of wierd as it set on his bedroom wall, bare of anything else, for almost a year. You got married and he was blessed with your projects all the time.
Also likes to read EVERYTHING, man is understanding, little weirded out by you choise of books, but gets it.
Overall get him a cake, family gathering and he is all smiles, matter of fact just show up, he will figure everything out, don't even move a finger. So what if it's his birthday?
● Usman
This boy is picky, he wants a gift, that's his love language. Just remember him, but remember him well. Is best to remember him with somehing expensive. Matter of fact, why don't you pick out a lingeria that he likes and surprise him with it, show can start, come on girl, dance!
You tell him every his birthday that you won't buy him anything and that you are his biggest gift. You even put a little bow on yourself as he wakes up, he sees you next to him looking at your phone, proped up on an elbove, with a frown on your face, little bow on your tshirt and with least enthusiasm in the world wish him a happy birthday. Not even a kiss. He shines.
God he loves you!
● Khamzat
You should be banned from getting him anything, beacause you make him cry and nostalgic every birthday. There as those nights that you remember quiet vividly, where he talks to you about his childhood and the way his house used to look like and his then friends.
And your ass remembers that, you bring him that chips from his childhood that he's sure they don't make anymore. You connect him with his old friend that he missed oh so much. You make him a very simple and cheap cake thats his favorite, and he cries, big man Khamzat cries. Because that is the cake he had all time growing up, and its one of those cakes you feed yourself run on pure nostalgia.
