Gift giving is an important practice that can show a number of different meanings. Here are some gift giving traditions from a few different countries.
◆ In Zimbabwe
In Zimbabwe, it is common to ask for a gift straightly. When a gift has been bought even without asking for it, the worst thing you can do is to refuse(拒绝) the offering, even if the giving family is poor.
◆ In Japan
The Japanese show a great importance of the act of gift giving. For example, people don't like uncovered (裸露的) money. So whether you're sending money as a gift or just leaving a tip (小费), put your money in an envelope (信封).
◆ In India
As people think left hands are unclean in Indian culture, acts such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts must be done with your right hand.
◆ In Russia
Vodka (伏特加酒) might seem a perfect gift for a Russian, but in fact, a lot of them would see it as an unimaginative (缺乏想象力的) gift. Many even think the idea is terrible.
◆ In Ireland
Don't be astonished if your gift is refused a couple of times in Ireland. This tradition comes from a time when they didn't have enough potatoes to eat in the 1840s, and because of this, the receivers are making sure that you can really part from the thing that you are offering.
