Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person．

When giving gifts，sometimes color is important．For example，for many Chinese people around the world，red is a lucky color，and people often like to wrap（包装）gifts in this color．However，do you know that in Korea（朝鲜），red is a color of death? That is why you should not wrap gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean person．

What about western countries? In western countries，the color of wrapping paper is not really important．But color does matter when giving flowers，especially roses．You should not give red roses to a western person you don't know very well because they are a symbol（象征）of love．You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship．You could also send pink roses as girls to say thank you．

What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture? Well，one thing you should keep in mind is the person's religion（宗教）．When choosing a gift for a Muslim（回教徒的）or Jewish（犹太族的）friend，you should never get food including pork，or things made from pigskin．Another thing that you should not get for a Muslim person is alcohol（酒）．
