Gift Giving And Communication

Japan

Japanese will

Gift giving

It is regarded as a material manifestation of expressing intention to the other person.

The ceremony is not thick.

Give

If you are right, you will impress others.

Japanese gifts should be chosen appropriately. Chinese stationery, celebrities, paintings and crafts are most popular, but the size of calligraphy and paintings should not be too large.

The gift can not be carelessly packaged, even if it is a box of tea.

Chinese people give gifts in pairs, while the Japanese avoid strangers. They usually use odd numbers such as 1, 3, 5, 7 and so on. But they also avoid "9", because the pronunciation of "9" in Japanese is the same as "bitter".

According to the custom of Japan, gifts to individuals must be conducted in private and not sent out in public.

Contact

There are two occasions where you can naturally express congratulations and friendships through gift giving. One is during Christmas every year, and the two is when you arrive and leave the United States.

If you work, you can send some office supplies and some exquisite handicrafts with national characteristics.

In the United States, it is considered a more common form of "gift giving" to invite guests to have a meal, drink a glass of wine, or spend the weekend in a villa, so you only need to express your gratitude for this, so you don't have to make any other reward.

It is not necessary to go to an American family to have gifts, and bring some small gifts such as flowers, wine and crafts. If empty handed, you will be invited back.

European countries

Gift giving is not popular in Europe. Even for major festivals and festive occasions, this gift is limited to family members or close friends.

Visitors do not have to worry about giving gifts. Their hosts will never be unhappy because they are not giving gifts or are too courtesy.

The Germans do not pay much attention to the price of gifts. They only need to send their favorite gifts, and the packaging is perfect. The French treat champagne, brandy, sweets, perfume as good gifts, and books and picture books that reflect cultural literacy are also popular.

Arab countries

Chinese handicrafts are very popular in this area. Vivid woodcarving or stone carving animals, antique porcelain bottles, brocade or fragrant wood fans, Chinese paintings with landscapes and flowers and birds and tri coloured pottery are all good gifts.

Gifts to the Arabs should respect their national and religious customs and do not send pictures of ancient ladies, because the Arabs do not want to let women's image hang in the hall. Do not send wine, because most Arabia countries explicitly prohibit alcohol. Gifts to ladies must be given to women by their husbands or fathers.
