Erika Vitulskienė reveals surprising birthday wish: 'I don't want flowers'

Lithuanian personality Erika Vitulskienė has revealed an unconventional birthday wish: she prefers practical gifts over traditional flowers. The decision stemmed from attending a friend's birthday celebration where she observed a massive display of flowers that would eventually wilt.

“

I was at a friend's birthday party and saw a huge mountain of flowers. I thought, what a shame – they will all wilt, and the money will be spent.

This observation prompted her to request sports equipment instead, explaining, "It's practical gifts that will serve me. I need that sports equipment anyway; I would have bought it myself."

Her friends have reacted to this unique request with humor, jokingly asking her to post photos of her gifts on Instagram to avoid duplicate presents. Vitulskienė acknowledges that her request might seem unusual to some but firmly believes in her practical approach to gift-giving.

They say: when you get the gifts, write on 'Instagram' what you received, so we all don't buy the same thing.

"I really want the gift to be useful. You can write a greeting or a wish on a dumbbell for me – that will be much more fun for me. I am a very practical person," she explained with a smile. She finds joy in receiving items that have lasting utility, even suggesting that personal messages can be incorporated directly onto the gifts.
