Girls: laptops, skin care products, schoolbags, headphones, tablets, etc.
China people pay attention to gifts;
Courtesy is light and affection is heavy.
Gifts should consider specific situations and occasions. Generally, when you go to a private family for dinner, you should bring some small gifts to the hostess, such as bouquets, fruits, local products and so on. If you have children, you can send toys and candy. Invited to the wedding, in addition to artistic decorations, you can also send bouquets and practical items. In New Year and Christmas, calendars, wine, tea, candy, cigarettes and so on can usually be given away.
Grasp the timing and method of giving gifts.
Gifts should generally be delivered in person. But sometimes you can attend the wedding and send it in advance. Celebrating festivals and giving annual gifts can be delivered to your door or mailed. At this time, the business card of the giver should be attached to the gift, or the congratulatory message can be handwritten and packed in an envelope of the same size. The recipient's name should be marked on the envelope and pasted on the top of the gift package. Usually, it is not appropriate to give gifts to only one person in a group in public. Because the recipient will feel fooled by accepting bribes, and it will make the person who confiscated the gift feel left out and despised. Don't give gifts to close people in public, so as not to leave the public with the feeling that your close relationship is completely supported by material things. Only special gifts that are light in ceremony and heavy in righteousness and express special feelings are suitable for giving in public. Because at this time, the public has become the witness of your sincere friendship. Like a special souvenir.
Be friendly and don't slip up.
Pay attention to attitude, action and language expression when giving gifts. Peaceful, friendly, natural and elegant movements accompanied by polite language expressions are acceptable to the receiver. The practice of quietly putting gifts under the table or in the corner of the room like thieves not only fails to achieve the purpose of giving gifts, but even backfires. Generally speaking, in our country, when giving gifts, I always say too modestly, "Little gift! A small gift! " "It's just a little something" or "I'm sorry ..." It's best to avoid this practice. Of course, if you say "this is a very valuable thing!" in an almost proud tone when giving. When introducing gifts, we should emphasize our kindness and kindness to the recipients, rather than the actual value of the gifts, which is also inappropriate. Otherwise, it will fall into a situation of valuing ceremony over righteousness, and even make the other party feel that they are taking bribes.
Considering the customs.
Giving gifts to people, things and places is one of the norms of social etiquette, and the choice of gifts should also meet the requirements of this norm. For different recipients, the choice of gifts should be treated differently. Generally speaking, for the poor, it is still affordable; For the rich, exquisiteness is better; For lovers, lovers, lovers, it is better to commemorate; For friends, fun is better; For the elderly, it is better to be practical; For children, it is best to innovate; For foreign guests, it is best to have characteristics.
You must master the principle of avoiding taboos when giving gifts.
For example, there is a saying that "Nuo Nuo is the only one" all over China, so all the big congratulations and happy gifts you send are always taboo, but the even number "4" is taboo in Guangdong, because in Cantonese, "4" sounds like "death", which is unlucky. Even the best white is pure, but it is taboo in China, because in China, white is often the color of great compassion. Similarly, black is considered unlucky, the color of disaster and mourning. On the other hand, red is a symbol of joy, peace and celebration and is widely loved by people. In addition, China people often pay attention not to send clocks and watches to the elderly or pears to lovers, because "sending clocks", "sending pears" is homophonic and unlucky. Also, if you can't send medicine to healthy people, you can't send personal belongings to friends of the opposite sex.
What are the taboos and tips for giving gifts?
Giving gifts to each other is a traditional custom in China, but it is nothing new to give the same gift year after year, which will inevitably make the giver uninterested and the recipient unmoved. What's the point of such a gift? In my opinion, the most important principle of giving gifts is originality, which is different from tradition. Of course, exquisite gifts can never be bought in a short time, so they must be collected when traveling and shopping. There is also an emergency plan, which is to make your own gifts. In addition, gifts should be as suitable as possible for the needs of the recipients. In my opinion, people who accept gifts can be divided into three categories:
The first is "sit back and relax". Such people are rich in financial resources, and it is best to send gifts with collectible value, such as famous calligraphy and painting, antiques and other works of art.
The second is "icing on the cake". This kind of people have good material conditions, so it is best to send gifts with life interest, such as ordering ornamental, decorative and practical daily necessities such as flower baskets and wine.
The third is "giving charcoal in the snow." These people are not very rich in material conditions, so the gifts for them should be practical, such as clothes, lamps and other household necessities. In short, gifts should be based on value rather than price, so as to give a decent and popular gift.
The most popular gift
Decoration category. Such as crystal and porcelain. Has a special shape.
Interest class. Such as fruit basket, flower basket, chocolate, wine, etc.
Art class. Such as famous calligraphy and painting, antiques, etc.
Personal effects. Such as cosmetics, perfume, aromatherapy oil, clothes, accessories and so on.
Household items. Such as cups and cookers with unique shapes.
Stationery. Such as books, records, stationery, etc.
Gift giving taboo
Send something full of bad luck. Such as sending a clock (homophonic "farewell").
The gift does not match the identity of the recipient. For example, if the other person is a handyman and gives him a large set of modern stationery, he may find it ironic; Giving something that sells a lot to someone who pays attention to taste will undoubtedly hurt the other person's self-esteem.
This gift is not suitable for this occasion. For example, if you send a happy record to a undertaker, even if it is expensive, it is not appropriate.
gift-wrap
Packaged gifts will look more beautiful and expensive. People can enjoy the packaging service in shops or do it themselves. Here are two kinds of gift packages.
fruit basket
Spread colored paper under the fruit basket.
Put the fruit in the fruit basket, and then wrap the whole fruit basket with transparent paper.
Bows are tied on both sides of the fruit basket.
Candy bag
Cut a rectangular colored paper, and cut lace on the upper and lower edges.
Fold it up and down and stick it on both sides to form a bag.
Put in candy and tie a bow.
