We would hate to be Brad Pitt right now.

Actually, that's not true, but it's gotta be tough to try and figure out what to get Angelina Jolie for her 37th birthday today (besides handmade cards from the kiddos, of course).

And as for Jolie's last year, well, where do we start?

Let's face it—there are about a gazillion things we could list right now, so let's just stick to the basics.

Besides being one of the most well-known names in Hollywood, the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador continues her humanitarian efforts across the globe, most recently by joining forces with Britain's foreign secretary William Hague in London to help launch an initiative to combat sexual violence overseas.

And although Pitt's lady did quite the job as director for In the Land of Blood and Honey, Jolie will return in front of the camera for her latest project Maleficent, which will recreate the Disney classic Sleeping Beauty. Oh, and she'll be the wicked fairy.

Obvs, we saved the biggest update for last—she's engaged! Yep, Brad finally put a ring on it and we couldn't be more excited!

Angelina sure has a long list of reasons to celebrate on her special day.
