Today I would like to talk about one special thing that I received from my friends. It was last year, in my birthday month of August. At that time, my friends gave me a lipstick. It is a famous brand lipstick called Swiss Beauty Lipstick. I had been dreaming about that lipstick for almost a year, and my friends knew I wanted it. They gave it to me as a surprise on my birthday. My friends were very excited to give it to me. When they presented the surprise, I was very happy and emotional. They came to my home that day, and I didn't expect them to arrive at that time. Then my friends gave me a box, and I opened it. I was very happy and emotional at that moment. I think it was the best gift I have ever received because it was something I had wanted since my college days. My friends knew what I wanted and what would make me happy. They are very thoughtful in the gifts they give me. I am very grateful to have friends like them. They know how I react to gifts. After that, we went to a restaurant and enjoyed our special food together. That is the best gift I have ever received in my life.
