In 3, I'd say "fountain pen" and in 4, I'd say "their wedding anniversary" but other than those two things, all are fine.
Adverbs answer one of these four questions: How? When? Where? and Why?

Which of those questions are those prepositional phrases answering?
1. He got a nice gift for his birthday.
2. He gave me a present for Christmas.
3. I received a fountainpen for my birthday.
4. She got a ring for the wedding anniversary.
5. Tom gave me a nice bike for my birthday.

Are they all grammatical? They have a preposition plus a noun clause in the end. Are they all adjective phrases or adverbial phrases?
