GIVING GIFTS

We always give gifts to our parents, friends, siblings, relatives andteachers. We give gifts on occasions like Christmas Day, ChineseNew Year, birthdays, birth of newborn, Mothers Day and others.

Guidelines in giving gifts

Offer gifts in pairs. An even number symbolisesgood luck and a good ending.

When you return a gift from a guest, the gift yougive him or her in future must be of greater value than his/hers.

Taboos associated with gifts

Never give a handkerchief for it connotes parting with a person forever. To give an umbrella would mean a break up. Do not give jasmines or plum blossoms to businessmen for jasmines mean

business losses and plum blossoms mean bad luck. It is very horrible to give a clock to someone on his birthday for it sounds

like burying ones parent. Never give things in pairs to a sick person for nobody wants misfortune

twice.
