What do you say when giving gifts?

1。 Please take it.

2。 Please accept it.

3。 It’s just a token of my appreciation … 4. Although it is not aprecious thing … 5. Although it’s just some ugly things … A light meal is not a tribute. I’d like you to try it. This is from the countryside. 8。 This is a famous localproduct in ourplace … 9. I heard that you like this very much, so … it is a traditional virtue of Chinapeople to come and not be rude. When giving gifts inperson or handing them over on behalf of others, you should stand up, smile, look at each other, and deliver the gifts with both hands. And say a decent word, so the effect of giving gifts is naturally better. Don’t deliver gifts in one hand, let alone quietly jam or secretly deliver gifts. Peaceful and friendly expressions and natural and graceful movements are accompanied by your appropriate language expression, and the recipient unconsciously accepts the gift. This effect is definitely the best with the behavior of quietlyputting gifts under the table or in a corner of the room like a thief.
