You and your western culture

You make me jealous

We don't celebrate things with gifts here. Well, not gifts that you can ask what you want for a gift, but simple parcel containing food.
I wish I can ask for something every year other than for my birthday, and I usually never ask for something great or expensive (around 6 years ago I asked a $2 bill for my birthday gift, the year after that $4 bill. Yes, you read that right: a $2 bill for a birthday gift)
The most expensive stuff I got for my birthday would be this PC< but its purchase was pretty much confirmed long before any topic about my birthday came up, so maybe you can't really count it. :/
