If I mention gifts and presents that I have recently given to someone, I would like to talk about my best friend Maria. She is my classmate as well, and she is my best friend. I decided to surprise her with a gift for her birthday. It was a couple of months ago, to be specific, in September, and I was thinking about what to give her. I decided to give her two books called Surgeon. They are two horror detective books. I chose to present them to her because she is a big fan of all these creepy things: films, books, and games. She really adores all of these. When I presented them to her, she was extremely happy. I felt a deep sense of happiness as well because when she is happy, I am on cloud nine.
