Birthdays; Something to celebrate or not?

The question is to celebrate your birthday or not?

My take on birthdays is that we like our age or not, we have lived for another year and that's always something to celebrate, right? 

What do you normally do on your birthday?

Let's try using some frequency adverbs to talk about that:-

• ALWAYS
• USUALLY
• NORMALLY
• OFTEN
• SOMETIMES
• RARELY 
• SELDOM
• HARDLY EVER
• NEVER

Remember to put the frequency adverb between the subject and the verb:-

On my birthday, I sometimes go bowling with friends.

BUT if we're using an aux. verb it the frequency adverb needs to be after the aux. verb and before the main verb:-

On my birthday, I don't usually have a party.

OR

On my birthday, I am always very excited about celebrating it.

Now, let's think about another scenario, when it's a friend or a relative's birthday.

What do you usually buy people for their birthday?

Some food or drink they like?

Perfume?

A voucher for a ride in a hot air balloon?

Or something else?
