When giving gifts to the British, you can consider the following types:
Local specialty gifts: There are many unique products in the UK, such as chocolate, black tea, whiskey, handmade soap, etc. These items not only have local characteristics, but also allow the recipient to taste British food and drinks.
Personalized gifts: The British pay attention to individuality and creativity. They will be very surprised and grateful to send a unique handicraft brought from China or a gift designed by yourself.
Books and music: The UK is a cultural country. It is also a good choice to send a British masterpiece or a CD of classical music. If you know their interests and hobbies, you can consider sending a book on a related topic or a mix CD made by yourself.
Travel Products: If the recipient is an international student and is keen to travel, it is also a good choice to send some products with tourism attributes, such as an inflatable pillow or travel bag, which can meet their travel needs and is very practical.
Small Fresh Gifts: Small fresh styles are one of the themes that young people like very much today. Giving British friends a cartoon-style gift or a fun little ornament will also be loved by them.
In short, giving gifts is not a difficult task. The key is to understand each other’s interests and needs. At the same time, the British pay great attention to the packaging of gifts, so even if the gift itself is not expensive, make sure to pack it beautifully. In addition, avoid giving some items that have specific meaning or symbolic meaning in the UK, such as lilies, elephants and cranes, etc., so as not to cause misunderstanding or offense. Finally, it is best to give gifts at an appropriate time, such as after dinner or after watching the play, and make sure that the gift is suitable for the age and gender of the recipient.
