Giving gifts is a kind of knowledge, and also one kind of strategy(策略).In the western countries,you should be careful of giving gifts.Never give a gift in a job interview or at a business meeting.Gifts are usually given during special holidays, or as a “thank you” for special invitations.When arriving at a special party, you may give your gift to the host once the introductions are made.Here are a few rules:
Be modest(不太贵的) with your gift.Do not buy gifts that are too expensive, such as a Swiss watch,a gold ring or a gold necklace.A special food from your country, a bottle of wine, candies, or flowers are the best if you do not know the host very well.But be sure that your gift will not draw much attention.You can usually say something like “I hope you will like it.” when you offer your gift.
Be careful of giving wine.A bottle of wine is usually all right if you know your host drinks wine.But hard alcohol(酒精) such as whisky(威士忌) should only be given as a gift when you know the host well and are certain that they would like such a gift.Flowers are good, but remember:roses are for special love.You have to be careful.
A small cultural gift from your country is usually very good.Make sure that your gift is packed(包装) nicely.A nice card with it will be better.
