Just had a similar experience with my birthday. Reminded me that I can just buy stuff for myself, so the excitement we had as kids isn't there lol.

One of the best things about being adult, you can eat your dessert before dinner.
LOL, just made a comment about watches and came here.
Mid-80's and mom was appalled at the notion of a $30 Swatch when a Timex could be had for $10. No Swatch. ☹
Woke up one Saturday morning, decided I was fucking 50-yo and I could buy a damned Swatch if I wanted to! Bought TWO!
Truly realizing you're an adult is quite freeing. :)
This is me except going to the store seeing it for 100, going I ain't paying that!!! And going home sad.
Bake a cake, have a slice, and sell the rest to charity. It's more cost effective, less expensive, and allows one to further the use of the phrase "sell it to charity". Triple win
