How do British people celebrate their birthdays?

1, most western countries put candles on the cake on their birthdays, and then eat the cake with the birthday party. They celebrate all day. At school, birthday children are often lifted by their arms and ankles once a year to show their height.

2. Gifts for British people can generally be high-grade chocolates, famous wines and flowers, especially China folk arts and crafts with national characteristics, such as kites, erhu, paper-cutting, flutes, chopsticks, stamps, facial makeup, calligraphy and painting, tea and so on. They especially appreciate it. Such a gift has personal characteristics, because he has come from afar with you; And exotic, because he may not be able to buy it in the host's country. In Britain, items such as clothes and soap are too involved in personal life, so they are generally not used as gifts. Scotch is also a popular gift, but it is not a strong whisky. Westerners pay more attention to gift packaging, and most of them like to use colored wrapping paper and ribbon packaging (Western European countries like to use light wrapping paper). When giving a gift, you must express the meaning, characteristics and purpose, indicating that it is carefully selected for the other party. Never say something modest, such as "I can't get it." In Britain, the proper time to give gifts is after dinner. But some things can't be thrown away. It is of little use to send westerners to Four Treasures of the Study. In any European country, chrysanthemums are only used for Halloween or funerals. White lilies symbolize death in Britain and should not be given away.
