I tried to think of the most meaningful gift to get my husband for his birthday, during our very first year of marriage. I wanted it to be meaningful (he HATES gifts because he’s picky), and as I thought about it, I knew he had everything there was to have.

So, what else could there be to give, other than simple birthday wishes?

I don’t know how I came up with this idea, but I thought “How cool would it be to have his family send him simple birthday wishes?”… then I thought “Hey, I should add my family in, too.”

And thus… the “3 Things About You On Your Birthday” was born.
