I think that getting a present usually makes us feel happy. Last year on my 13th birthday, I was very surprised to receive a special gift from one of my former friends who hadn't kept in touch with me for a long time. I got that gift from the post office when I opened the box. I was very surprised and happy. They are some music discs that are my favorites. My friend remembered my birthday and gave that present to me. This is a meaningful present.
