There are many times we need to give gifts . Keep these tips in mind as you’re thinking about what gift you’ll give.

Gift giving dos

Leave the price label in the bag if it is an expensive gift so that others can see how much they need to give back. Remember to hold the gift in both hands to give gifts.

Gift giving don’ts

Don’t worry about what card to take with the gift. Cards are seldom used in China, so a Chinese wouldn’t expect a card along with a gift.

Choosing the right gift

*Gifts for family

When you’re meeting your partner’s family, a gift is expected, food or fruit baskets are good if you have no idea what to give. If your hometown is known for a special food, buy some to take as gifts.

*Gifts for friends

You can spend less money on friends than you do on family. Books, wallets, key rings and special foods like chocolate or coffee are good enough.

*Gifts for business partners

When you’re starting a business relationship, a tasteful gift will be better. Pens from your company or with the receiver’s name is a practical gift. Local snacks from your area is a great gift too.

Gifts to avoid（避免）

You should remember not choose anything because of the cultural symbolism（文化象征） or the word shares a similar pronunciation to some bad things. Clocks, in Chinese, to give a clock has the same pronunciation as the phrase “songzhong”. Umbrellas and shoes are not good gifts in China.

In all, a thoughtful gift is great when you want to thank a friend, say goodbye to someone or meet families.
