For almost a century now, birthday experts have quarreled over which birthdays are the biggest in your life. Is it 20? 30? 40? Or even 50? Baby Boomers would even argue that 65 is pretty nifty these days, since Social Security kicks in.

Lets face it. Valentine's Day is the perfect time to give flowers and candy to your significant other, not birthdays. They are just a little too cliche and it makes you look like you took the easy way out, especially if your wife's or girlfriend's birthday happens to be Feb. 13th or 15th.
