There are a lot of occasions when people have given me things that clearly made me happy. Here today I would like to talk about a time when someone gifted me something which I was planning to buy on my own. It was given to me by my brother who is living in Australia. He loved me very much and he gifted me an iPhone and I was completely surprised when I came to know that he sent me this phone. I like this phone very much but I did not have enough money to buy this phone on my own. I also did a lot of research about this phone. My brother had visited us last winter and he knew that I bought this phone. After going back to Australia he sent me the phone without letting me know. He gave me this iPhone on my 18th birthday. It is an awesome phone with great features like fake reorganization, dual cameras etc. At first I did not believe that he gifted me this phone. I got emotional and thank you a lot my brother. So that was the occasion when I received something I can’t get.
