Thanks so much

I am confused whether its 誕生日「に」 or 誕生日「の」
They're very different.
誕生日に
Adverb. Your case.
誕生日に菓子を買う。
誕生日に遊びに行く。
誕生日に父に時計をもらいました。This is correct.
誕生日の
This can make a noun phrase.
誕生日の歌
誕生日のお祝い
歌 and お祝い are nouns. See how they're different from the three cases above.

私は誕生日「に」父「に」時計をもらいました。
Is correct.
But because "に" overlaps ,
私は誕生日「に」父「から」時計をもらいました。
is better.

If you want to say
"I got a clock from my father on my birthday."
→私は誕生日「に」父に時計をもらいました。
