UK Birthdays HELP

I have a friend from England, he's soon going to turn 23 and I don't know how to congratulate him. I know I have to say Happy birthday, the problem is, I'm not English, I don't know how they do that, do guys buy gifts to each other? do they buy beer? is it wrong to hand them a present? (I mentioned that I'm going to buy him a gift and I didn't get what his reaction was on the topic, he laughed a little.

We've been friends for quiet a while now, but I'm not comfortable asking about this to him directly.

I'm really confused here, If someone could help that would mean the world to me.

We don't usually buy birthday gifts for friends or acquaintances of the same *** or the opposite *** unless we are lovers or would like to be. ' and a slap on the back is common though.
