I get that all the time.  I’m not a fan of my birthday or Christmas.  I’m still forced to celebrate them.  I find that people don’t want to give me anything I’ll actually like.  They think what I want is silly or childish and I shouldn’t ask for what I want.  In reality I’m so easy to shop for.  Cards, sports apparel, anything R2-D2, gift cards work great for books and video games.  These things are a core part of who I am.  Why shouldn’t I enjoy the things that make Yom, Tom?  Anyways my wife bought me a box of cards.  I beat the odds with 2 hits.  Now that’s a birthday!  (Olive celebrated her birthday today too!)
