People spend different amounts on birthday gifts. Some people buy expensive presents. They think this shows care.
Other people spend less. They may give a small gift or take the person out for a drink at a pub. They believe time together can be a good present.
The question is simple: what is a “good” birthday gift? Is it the price, or is it the feeling behind it? Many people have their own ideas, and these choices can show their values.
