Shapewear: Unless you intend to body shame her and make her feel less attractive about her body, then do not buy her shapewear. Cleaning supplies and equipment: This is going to send wrong signals. Do not buy. A Weapon: Never try this. Never buy her a Gun or any kind of weapon even if she is a cop or a soldier. Medications: Well, unless you are helping her get a supply of her prescribed medication; do not buy her any meds as a birthday gift. Even at that, avoid buying medication as a birthday gift. A Magazine: This has got to be one of the laziest birthday gifts. Do not buy. Pornographic material/Sex Toys: Absolute no! You will be sending out the wrong signals.
