What will you prefer to receive? I rather choose the balloon, something different at my age hahaha! For sure I'll feel childish but feeling young once in a while is great. I could even keep it as a part of good memories. How about you guys, what would you prefer and why? Anyway have a nice day to all of you!

Well my birthday is in 19 days and I have asked my husband to only get me a ice cream cake..I love ice cream cake but haven't had one in many years. At my age I would rather not spend money for my birthday, my kids have theirs only a few weeks later so I would rather we save that money for their parties and gifts. Now this year he has decided that maybe getting my hair cut again can be a gift...actually I told him that could be considered my gift so I know he won't sneak out and try getting me something. I think if I had only those 3 choices though I would have to go with the chocolate. I think the balloons are just not something I would like and roses although a great gift, I always say roses/flowers are nice but I would rather not get them because I am terrible at keeping any sort of flower or plant alive for long so they usually die off within a day or two and I just feel it was a waste of money.

How years passed by now I am 33 years old. Anyway have a nice day to you!

I'd definitely go for chocolates... Since you didn't mention what kind of chocolates, I'd love to have a chocolate ice cream cake from baskin and robbins. Yummy! I swear that's the best ice cream cake that I've ever tasted. So there. I'd go for chocolates. Definitely chocolates.

Hi N30wing, chocolates anytime. I don't know what to do with a balloon, and roses are a waste of money. And chocolates are one of my favorite snacks!

Wow! I choose chocolates! It is my favorite and probably i will forget all my problems and even my name once there is somebody who will give me this food. Up to now now i always ask for chocolate to my husband and sisters too. Even my friends knows my weakness. I always feel like a child holding chocolate, I don't know why i should have this feeling friend. I love chocolate!!

Anyway have a wonderful day to you my friend!

I choose chocolate because it is not gender realted gift. I also love to eat chocolates too as this is one of my favorite food. Since I am a man then balloon and roses are out of the question.

Well a balloon is not a gender realted gift also. I like color blue balloon always. I remember when I was young playing with it and I was also letting it fly and then I will cry. One thing I don't really like lie chocolates. This time when it decreese in size I'll keep it in my closet. Anyway have a nice day to you!

Couldn't I have all three haha. If I had to choose, I think I would want roses. I hardly ever got roses. The only time one of my exes got me roses was when he was in trouble. The one ex who I still love, picked me while flowers on his way to see me and it was so romantic, but I think I would like roses for my birthday. I know it's kind of cliche but I would feel really loved.

I think for women they usually like roses on their Birthdays. But I prefer a balloon for me it's really something different. But I like my balloon this time big, not the small ones anymore. I remember when I was still young, I love playing my ballons and let it fly and then I will cry and ask my Mom for another one. Anyway have a nice day to you!

I would prefer the chocolates. Especially if they are dark chocolates with fruit and nuts or mint! I prefer dark chocolates over milk chocolates because it is the healthier choice. Some health benefits of dark chocolates includes lowering of blood pressure and it is also a potent anti-oxidant. So for me the beneficial choice would be chocolates--dark chocolates. I will just keep the wrapper for the memories part. Hahaha... Have a nice day!

When I receive a gift for my birthday I would choose chocolates. Its kinda good having something to eat on your birthday especially now we are suffering from financial crisis, and receiving a chocolate would be the most promising gift I would ever had. Besides the price of chocolates is high you can have a free food on your birthday, funny right? but its cool, free food. A rose would be ok, but it may wilt in a few days and you are left with a wilted flower whish you can throw away afterwards. A balloon would be nice too, reminiscing the childhood days but balloons tends to decrewase in size after a week or so till it pops off, again throw it to the garbage can. Not like chocolates you can have a free food on your birthday, spare some for the next day and you can have a free snack again. Thats nice don't you think. Happy Mylotting.
