How old were you when you stopped receiving birthday gifts....

18ish

Gifts have gotten cooler than when I was younger.
One year it was a yeti ice chest.
One year an awesome hand gun.
This last one got me started in the cattle business. I was gifted 5 heffers.
I think my parents are using me to hide money.

That or their trying to ensure that they have a sound retirement plan aka my son won't ditch me in a sad old folk home, you know the kind that just leave them sitting in wheel chairs in the hall way.

I I'll get something or money at 30. But wouldn't care if I didnt. My parents both came from large families (7 kids on each side) and I never once remember them getting a present from their parents for anything. And I have slight memories of them at my age. Now my grandparents on my dads side have givenot them a lot over the years, but it never is for a Holliday or anything. So I've just never expected to get them as an adult. Still seems weird when I do.

Bout 13. Parents said happy birthday. I kissed my mom on the forehead, grabbed my lunch box, told them goodbye and headed to my job at the steel mill.

Sporadic after 18. Nothing this year

I get money from them on my birthday every year.

why should it end? I give them a birthday gift and they are 69. It is a little glad you made another year.

With my sister we don't bother, and Christmas we pick a charity.

I still get checks. Usually about tree fiddy.

A birthday is just another day in my family.
A "Happy Birthday" with a "Would do you want to cook for dinner?" is about all I ever got.
