1 Form is more important than content.

Gifts from the East, brand-name goods or handicrafts with national characteristics are the best choices.

As for the practicality of gifts, it is not as good as knowledge and artistry.

Orientals attach great importance to the brand and external form of gifts.

Advocating reciprocity, I am more willing to show my respect for others with my generosity.

Orientals feel that coming or not is beneath their dignity, which involves their own image.

Therefore, most people tend to give gifts to others first, and when they receive gifts in return, they often make more efforts on the intrinsic value and external packaging of gifts to show their generosity and respect for others.

3 Pay attention to the specific directionality of the gift object

Pay great attention to the specific directionality of the gift object when choosing a gift, which is the characteristic of orientals.

Generally speaking, it is often pleasant to give gifts to the elderly and children, and people are willing to accept whatever they give.

But if you give a gift to someone else's wife, you need to consider the relationship between the two sides and the taboo of the other side.

There are many taboos.

Eastern countries have many taboos about the numbers, colors and patterns of gifts.

Orientals are jealous of the word "4" and think that "4" is a bad luck number, but they prefer odd numbers such as 3, 5, 7 and 9 and numbers such as 108, especially "9" and "multiples of 9".

In the choice of gift color, although white is pure and flawless, China people are more taboo, because in China, white is often the color of sadness and poverty; Similarly, black is also regarded as the color of unlucky, disaster and mourning; On the other hand, red is a symbol of joy, peace and celebration and is widely loved by people.

In addition, in China, it is often emphasized not to give the elderly "bells" because "bells" stand for "death"; You can't send "pear" to lovers or lovers, because "pear" is homophonic with "separation". These are considered unlucky taboos, and there are many others.

Gift-giving habits in western countries-

1 Practical content plus aesthetic form

Different from eastern countries, western countries don't pay much attention to the choice and preference of gifts, and their gifts are colorful.

The two sides share the joy brought by the gift.

When westerners give gifts, the recipient often opens the package in front of the giver to express his praise, and then invites the giver to enjoy or appreciate the gift together.

Pay attention to the timing of giving gifts

Under normal circumstances, westerners often give gifts at the end of social activities, that is, when social activities have achieved results, so as not to be suspected of accepting bribes.

4 reduce taboos

Except that the number of disasters such as "13" and "Friday" and the types and colors of gifts on some special occasions (such as funerals) are certain, most western countries have few taboos on gifts.
