what kinds of gifts would you buy for your friends’ birthday?

I like to buy some accessories or electronics as a birthday gift. When I have time, go on a trip, I will buy some gifts, and I take them back at home. When I know somebody’s birthday is coming, I can take something of my home to give them. I think if we want to maintain with somebody, you have to remember his birthday, the way is helpful to maintain your friendship. I have over 500 people on my phone, I can’t follow everyone, so I use the birthday app, it can remind me to send birthday gift to them.
