Only downside to getting coin-related birthday gifts is you have to be pretty specific about what you want in advance, so it ends up not really being a surprise. But no complaints otherwise lol. This year got as gifts a Whitman Classic album for buffalo nickels (had enough to point it felt like it was worth it to get an album); also 1938-D & 1950-D Jefferson nickels (just need 1939-S & 1944-S to finally finish that set).
You are very fortunate all I got was Happy Birthday and a cupcake. At least they did not forget, right.
