The custom of giving gifts in different countries?

Germany: Gifts pay attention to packaging

Giving gifts in Germany requires special attention to whether the gifts are appropriate and beautifully packaged. Roses are for lovers and must not be given casually. Germans like to be invited for outings, but the host needs to make meticulous and thoughtful arrangements before departure.

Arab countries: Do not give gifts when meeting for the first time

Arabs do not give gifts when meeting for the first time, otherwise it will be regarded as bribery. According to Arab customs, old items and wine cannot be given to people; especially gifts cannot be given to the wives of real-world friends who have business contacts. Don’t ask about their home situation. When visiting an Arab house, you must not stare at an object non-stop, so that the Arab host will definitely ask you to accept it, otherwise you will be despised in your heart.

France: Send flowers without binding

Gifts in France are generally selected at the time of reunion. The choice of gifts should show praise for the wisdom of the French host. When invited to a French house for dinner, you should send a few untied flowers.

Latin America: You can’t give handkerchiefs, knives and scissors

In Latin America, you can’t give knives and scissors, otherwise it is considered the end of friendship. Handkerchiefs can’t be used as gifts either, because it is associated with tears. Latinos like small household products made in the United States, such as kitchen utensils, etc. In Latin American countries, items with high taxes are very popular, and it is best not to give luxury goods.

Japan: Gifts must be given, they don’t have to be useful

Japanese people pay attention to etiquette and have the custom of giving gifts. But generally give items that are not useful to them, and the recipient can transfer them again. Japanese people like Chinese silk, famous wine and traditional Chinese medicine, and also like some famous brand goods, but they are more disgusted with things with fox badger patterns, because the fox is a symbol of greed and the badger represents cunning. When visiting ordinary people’s homes, chrysanthemums can only have 15 petals, and the royal coat of arms has 16 chrysanthemums.

UK: I hate gifts marked by companies

Britons pay attention to appearance. Generally, gifts are things that don’t cost much, such as high-end chocolates. Famous wine and flowers are also the favorite things for British people to receive gifts. The appropriate time to give gifts should be after dinner or after watching the play. The British generally do not appreciate gifts marked with the company’s logo. If the company gives gifts, it is best to give them in the name of the boss and personal.

America: Give gifts, open them in person

Generally speaking, Americans do not give gifts casually. Some often seem a little embarrassed when they receive gifts. This is especially true if they happen to have nothing in return. But on holidays, birthdays, weddings or visits to patients, gifts are still inevitable.

Americans most commonly exchange gifts at Christmas. At Christmas, innocent children are elated to receive all kinds of new toys, thinking it is a gift from Santa Claus. Adults often send books, stationery, chocolate candies or bonsai. Gifts are usually wrapped in floral paper and tied with ribbons. According to American tradition, there is also a “white Christmas” a few days before Christmas, when people wrap gifts in white paper and give them to the poor nearby.

In addition, Americans believe that the singular number is auspicious. Sometimes it is not thin to give only three pears, which is different from the Chinese who pay attention to pairs. When Americans receive a gift, they must open it immediately, appreciate or taste the gift in front of the giver, and immediately thank the gifter. The gift packaging is more exquisite, and the appearance is exquisite and gorgeous, but the inside is not necessarily too expensive. Sometimes when you open the exquisite packaging with three layers inside and three layers outside, only a few chocolate candies are exposed.

Russia: Don’t give money

Russians are very particular about giving and receiving gifts. Russians are taboo about giving money to others, believing that giving money is an insult to their personality. But they love foreign goods very much, and foreign sweets, cigarettes, wine, and clothing are all good gifts. If you send flowers, you should send a single rather than a double. In their opinion, even numbers are unlucky.

Netherlands: Food, send less

In the Netherlands, people are mostly used to eating raw and cold food. Gifts should not be given, and gifts should be wrapped in paper products. When visiting a Dutch house, do not be too attentive to the hostess. When men and women go up the stairs together, the etiquette is exactly the opposite of that in most countries: men first, women behind.
