Definitely get her a gift of some kind. And plan a special meal at home. Maybe not on her actual birthday, but before or after. These things do mean a lot, but on the actual day is sometimes too much.

@dumpstermeow got her what she asked for.Think she's overwhelmed getting older and doesn't want to celebrate.Im not going to force things or get cake when she seems irked by it atm.
