As far as gifts go all I could find was reference to good luck oils and banishing oils. The belief is that it is meant to attract “for positive energies, love, light and prosperity”, to help “shed bad habits.” and attract other blessings.

solitary birthright (http://2witchesblog.wordpress.com/2007/05/31/pagan-ritual-thursday-solitary-birthday-rite-attracting-blessings-releasing-habits/)

A Birthday Ritual

Materials:
Your Altar
1 White candle
1 Black candle
Your Cauldron
A Pen
2 pieces of paper
Some Good luck oil
Some Banishing oil
A Petitioner candle (A candle that represents you)
Some Incense

Construct your magick circle. Call Quarters. Construct Altar. Invoke
Goddess and God. Light incense.
Anoint black candle with banishing oil, imagining all obstacles,
ill habits etc. falling away from you.
Light candle and say,

"I empower this candle to absorb all negative forces
acting upon me. As this
candle burns, so let its powers engulf all negative energies, leaving my
path clear for success."

Anoint white candle with good luck oil, imaging all good thoughts, successes
and positive forces
flocking unto you. Light candle and say,

"I empower this candle to attract all powers wondrous and
good. As this candle burns, so might it purify me as I prepare for this next
journey."

Light petitioner candle and say,

"As this candle represents myself, the humble priestess, let it be a beacon
for positive energies, love, light and prosperity. As this candle
burns bright, so may the light of my
journey burn bright with happiness and gifts from the Lord and the Lady in
this coming year."

Place this candle between the white and black candles. Take a moment to
reflect on your past year.
Especially reflect on regrets, flaws you have, mistakes you have
made. Write these down on the paper.
Then burn the paper over the black candle and say,

"As the snakesheds its skin, so do I shed these bad
habits."

Drop this paper in the cauldron.

Reflect on all things you wish to accomplish in your coming year,
all traits you wish to acquire,
experiences you hope to gain. Write these down on the paper. Burn
this paper over the white candle and
say,

"As the Lady watches over me, so shall I gain all these good
things."

Drop this in the cauldron. Raise your arms and say:

"On this day of my birth, may my magick be replenished
and empowered. May my body be flushed with the light of the Lord and the Lady."

Thank the God and Goddess and have your
cake and wine. Close the circle. Your rite is done.

Thank you all, let's have cake, while I tell about my b-day.  lol, It's been a hard but great day, my car even gave me a present. It sprang a power steering leak, so did the equipment at work the vacuum blew up, and I discovered something. I have a gps in my car. It even hands me cold pops and smokes when I want them and still tells me where I need to go, I would like to see my dads 300.00 gps do that. lol And the gifts I got , www.witchschool.com life time membership, new goth clothes, most of all, my family is starting the healing process of getting over alcoholism.
