Chinese Gifts: What’s Acceptable?
There are diverse cultures all over the world and the Chinese have not been left behind. One of their old traditions is the exchanging of gifts and the etiquette that comes with it. There are some items that are considered popular Chinese gifts. It is important to learn the taboos and unspoken rules that you should know.
When visiting an Asian friend it is customary to present them with a gift. They may decline to receive it a couple of times but do not worry about it since it is part of their etiquette. You do not want to insist if a person really does not want it.
You can give someone a watch but clocks are a taboo. Pointy objects like knives and scissors are also not advisable as these are considered bad signs. Keep away from presents that come in multiples of four as this is an unlucky number. You can give Chinese symbol pendants that have a special meaning to the person you are giving it to.
Giving a host fruits is a good gesture. Try to keep the number of fruits even as this is a sign of good luck. It might interest you to know that cutting a fruit in half to share with a friend is a bad sign. If you are giving presents to your colleagues, make sure they cost the same or around the same price. Good wine, solar calculators and pens are among good business gestures.
New born babies are considered a blessing and gifts are usually given during these occasions. In most cases, eggs dyed red are normally given. This is because red is considered to show happiness. Money and other presents wrapped in red are also given.
If buying Chinese gifts is too pricey for you, add a personal touch by making personalized gifts yourself. That way, you can create something very unique and creative. Be sure to check for taboo presents so that you do not end up giving a bad impression.
