1-to give flowers... see the green +2flower on the right, just above your message? If you click on anyone's flower like that you give them a flower and it shows up as 'thanks' and the flower count goes up by one.
2-to download cute animations ...
a-click on the picture you want, using your right mouse button,
b-you'll get a pop-up box; scroll down and highlight 'save picture as',
c-the Save Picture box shows up; now you need to tell it where you want to save the graphic... towards the top there's a box that says 'Save In' and you'll see a small down arrow ... click that down arrow and scroll to where you want the pictures to be saved (such as, your desktop or a folder you want them in)
d-at the bottom of the 'save as' box there are two boxes you can use: 'Filename:' where you type in any file name that you want to remember it by
and 'Save as Type:' which is the file extension (such as .GIF for animations or .JPG for pictures or .BMP for pictures). If you want, you can leave the filename and the file type exactly as they are.
e-in the 'save as' box, once you have the picture named, and have said where you want it to be saved (like your desktop or a file folder or...), then click the 'Save' button.
HTH... once you do it a few times, it will be really easy for you.
