GIVING GIFTS

We always give gifts to our parents, friends, siblings, relatives and

teachers. We give gifts on occasions like Christmas Day, Chinese New
Year, birthdays, birth of newborn, Mothers Day and others.
Guidelines in giving gifts
Offer gifts in pairs. An even number symbolizes good luck
and a good ending
When you return a gift from a guest, the gift you give
him/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.
