Is it okay to give gifts at noon?

Concealment should generally be considered when giving gifts. It doesn’t matter in the morning or afternoon. Sometimes it is better to find a time when no one is around to give gifts. Here are some tips on giving gifts.

Correct concept of gift-giving:

Some people have misunderstandings about gift-giving. If they don’t understand gift-giving, they will naturally not give gifts.

In China, sometimes gifts express something. kind of etiquette. From gifts between countries to diplomacy, to mutual help between people, gifts are inevitable. Giving gifts means understanding etiquette, but not giving them would be rude.

It is polite and reciprocal. Does the gift contain good wishes, or does it mean that I am here to help you solve a specific problem? It is a surprise, a heartfelt gift, not a transaction of power and money. The fascinating surprise lies precisely in the labor the gift-giver puts into choosing.

It is not terrible to be rejected when giving a gift, because even if you are rejected, the person can still accept your favor. Therefore, we do not need to reject gift-giving, nor do we need to complain about gift-giving.

Purpose of gift-giving:

Everyone has a certain purpose in giving gifts. Giving gifts to friends is to deepen friendship, parents giving gifts to children is to enhance family ties, husbands giving gifts to wives are to sublimate love, and employees giving gifts to leaders Gifts are given to deepen personal relationships. Therefore, different gift-giving purposes determine the purchase of different gifts.

According to the recipient's preferences:

Gifts are given differently to different recipients. Analyze the recipient's identity, age, gender, family, habits and other details to provide reference for gift-giving. For example: health products are suitable for the elderly; food that is too spicy for Cantonese people is not suitable; food for diabetics cannot contain sugar; if the recipient's child is male, do not give a doll; if the recipient does not like drinking, do not give alcohol, etc.

Gift-giving according to the scene:

Gift-giving needs to be suitable for the scene, such as birthday gifts need to be packaged, wedding gifts are suitable for giving money, holiday gifts need to be appropriate for the occasion, etc. They need to be treated differently in specific scenarios and cannot be handled uniformly.

Introduction is needed for people with whom you are not familiar with:

It is necessary to give gifts to people with whom you are not familiar with out of some willingness. In order to protect themselves, strangers will refuse to accept gifts. Therefore, you cannot give gifts directly to strangers. At least ask an intermediary to introduce you to them.

Avoid bribery:

Some people cannot accept gifts. For example, national civil servants may be suspected of bribery if they accept gifts. Giving gifts can easily cause legal risks to the other party. Even if you really want to give a gift, keep it below the legal price.

Avoid duplication of gifts:

Giving useless gifts becomes a burden to the other party. For example, if you send mooncakes to leaders during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the leaders have dozens of mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will not be able to eat them at all. The mooncakes given as gifts will not achieve the purpose of giving gifts, and will instead be disliked.

Weigh the price:

Giving a gift that is too expensive and has no special purpose will make the recipient feel short-handed, uneasy and afraid to accept the gift. On the contrary, if you give low-value or second-hand goods as gifts, the other party will feel slighted.

Avoid cramming:

If you ask someone to do something for you, you need to give a gift of corresponding value based on the difficulty and value of the task. It is not polite to ask someone to give you a gift at the last minute. It is impolite. The other party will think that you "use people first and don't use people first".

Tear off the price tag:

No matter how much the gift is worth, the gift money requires tearing off the price tag. Sending a gift with a clearly marked price seems to remind the other person of the value of the gift, which is rude.

Be careful when transferring gifts:

Be careful when transferring gifts. When re-gifting a gift, be sure to carefully confirm the shelf life of the gift, and do not re-gift it to someone who is acquainted with or may interact with the gift giver. In addition, gifts with special commemorative significance cannot be regifted.

Recognize politeness and rejection:

Giving gifts should not only make the other party receive the gift, but also make it comfortable. Otherwise, receiving gifts may turn into rewards, charity, or bribes. Therefore, when giving gifts, you must also express why you want to give them. Is it to express care, respect, admiration, or family affection. Sometimes, when the other party says "I won't accept the gift", it is actually a sign of humility. Remember not to misjudge the message due to "courteous words". Unless the other party insists not to accept the gift, the gift cannot be taken back.

Words for giving gifts:

For example: "My old man asked me to bring this to you." If you think about this, can you refute the old man's face? There are other things like "Until you like calligraphy, this set of four treasures of the study will be wasted if given to others. I will trouble you to give me a set of calligraphy treasures in the future." "This is a little thought I gave to your mother. Please deliver it to me." and so on.

Be careful when giving closeness gifts:

Some gifts are only suitable for giving between people who are close to you, such as underwear, earrings, roses, etc. If the relationship is not in place, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, so it is not appropriate to choose this type of gift.

Consider concealment:

Some recipients are inconvenient to receive gifts under certain circumstances. If the location is not chosen correctly, it will cause trouble for the recipient.

Gifts given by the company are easy to be seen by employees; if they are sent to the other person's home, the other person may not be willing to reveal their home address; making an appointment to meet at a meeting place will cause trouble to the other person.
