Birthdays are always special whether you celebrate it with family, friends, and / or people who love you. And it's obvious that when someone's birthday is nearing, their friends and / or family may plan on hosting a birthday party. Perhaps you're the one who is in charge of sending the birthday invitations out, arranging for the food, beverages, and entertainment, and decorating the entire venue properly; you even have a gift purchased, waiting to be presented at the party. However, a gift, on its own, can't possibly convey what your feelings are for that person.
