My birthday was a few weeks ago and I have to say it was a great one. I got a ridiculous amount of presents from my family and my friends didn't skimp on the gifts either. I wound up netting around $400 total in cash and a good $150 in gift cards. I found this especially nice as I'm usually not one to have a lot of excess money but when I do have it, I'm usually at a loss for how to spend it. After consulting with my friends as to what would be the best course of action I decided to purchase a Nintendo Wii.
