 Items such as underwear and socks are generally not as well appreciated by younger children, even if they are emblazoned with popular characters.Sometimes it is expected of the person celebrating their birthday to treat their party guests instead; this varies depending on the local culture and may involve party gifts or other gestures, for example inviting the guests to the restaurant or bar (some of them offer special birthday programs), arranging parties at home, or at work.In South Africa, however, birthdays are highly celebrated.
