Gift Giving – Among Hobbits it’s custom for the one who is celebrating their birthday to give presents to their guests. A theory I favour is that this custom has its origins from when the Hobbits still dwelled in the upper vales of the river Anduin and Sméagol (later called Gollum) murdered his brother over the One Ring.
