Is it tranditional for Turkish people to give gifts on birthdays. And, are there other holidays or festivals where gifts are exchanged?

In our birthdays it is true that we are giving presents.But in our religion parties (Ramazan and Kurban)
we are giving candies and moneys to little children.
we are giving present in st. valentino's daybut actually we call "sevgililer günü"
And some people can give presents in the mother's day,father's day and children's day.

Doesn't it say something about the world, that we need such days..
I think birthday is fine to celebrate though After all it is the day that you've been giving real life.

True, but it would be nice as well if people came to ring your bell and give you flowers and presents just because you exist 
Bu arada, grammarwise, how do you say "that would be really nice?"
"Gerçekten güzel olacaktı"?

What about New Year (with the attendant yıl başı ağacı - isn't it some kind of surrogate Christmas with presents for the children (a relatively new thing, I think)...?

especially new year ..eeee i dont like dis idea...if we think widely..never changes with new year hea?just a month finish and another one starts..and we celebrate this crazily..wads the difference between 31 and 1?but yes for christians its a religius celebration...im respectful..instead of celebrating im just wishing a happy life till the last day...
i prefer giving meanings to the days and moments...others meaningful things maynot be so meaningful for me..i prefer giving my own meaning..
