Elaborate birthday gifts from older partner spark social media buzz
Ellie Liptrot, a 21-year-old Briton, gained fame on social media after she showcased the luxurious birthday gifts from her 44-year-old partner, Mark. The couple spent an exceptional time in Thailand, and Ellie decided to share her experiences from the trip on TikTok.
In her video, 21-year-old Ellie introduced her partner, 44-year-old Mark. She also announced that she would reveal what she received for her 21st birthday. Although it wasn't a trip financed from her pocket, Mark showed her many gifts. One thing is certain: he did not hold back.
She talked about how he spoils her
One of the first gifts Ellie received was a ring from Gucci. Mark also gave her €519 worth of Thai baht so she could enjoy shopping during the trip. Among the gifts was "The Good Wife Guide" – a guide on how to be a good wife, which Mark thought was particularly fitting.
Ellie also received a new charm for her gold Nomination bracelet, symbolising her 21st birthday. Mark didn't forget about her favourite cosmetics, either. Among them were the luxurious Rich Cream by Augustinus Bader worth €265 and makeup products from Charlotte Tilbury and Huda Beauty.
The gifts also included cosmetics from Space NK's collection, collectable BearBrick figures, and two new JellyCat stuffed toys. Ellie also received a box of chocolates and a promise to purchase a Ninja Creami upon returning home.
Reactions from netizens
Ellie's video on her @elli3liptrot TikTok account quickly went viral - garnering thousands of views, likes, and comments. Commentators had varied opinions on Ellie and Mark's relationship and the gifts she received.
More like a father, happy birthday, the most important thing is that you are happy
Definitely not with him for the money
Why do you always have to announce his age?
Very caring, you are very lucky - we read in the comments.

By the way, do you believe in true love that spans such a large age gap?
