When somebody asks you for something and you give it to them, which expression is correct or more common?
eg., My little sister plays with toys and she wants to give one of her toys to me. So what should she say? 'here you are' or 'here you go'? which one is correct?
What is the difference between them?

"Here you are" is literal - "This is the thing I'm offering you". It is neutral as to formality. It is brusque rather than polite, but in an informal context, that might just be seen as friendly - it depends on the tone of voice.
"Here you go" is a colloquial idiom, which doesn't really make literal sense. It is informal and friendly.
