Hi,



It is that time of the year…


Since it is the holiday season, I decided to dedicate this video to the etiquette of gift giving and receiving. In this will you, I will give you a short historical background of the act of gift giving, talk about some general etiquette rules and gift taboos as well as share my personal favorite gifts.

When you talked about wrapping, it reminded me of my college days. I had very little money and was invited to a little girl's birthday. I bought her a set of coloring pencils from the supermarket but had nothing left to buy wrapping paper. So I went home I took a sheet of white paper and painted it with a lot of colors. At the party, I was a bit ashamed she had so many big, gifts wrapped in shiny, beautiful papers. But when she got to mine, she just caressed the painted paper and let out a soft: " wooow!".
I had tears in my eyes, intention and care really do count when gift giving.
Anyway, thank you for your very informative video.

For me, handmade gifts are above everything. They are priceless :)

Finally a guideline for an awkward girl like me, who gets excited and doesnt know what to do when receiving a gift lmao

Very interesting video! In the Asian (Chinese) culture when receiving a gift you should pretend not to be interested 😅. You never open it in front of the person gifting your gift, you always do it in private. If you open it in front of them you look greedy.
So if you ever gift a gift to an Asian person and they don't seem impressed, it is because to them opening it is rude.

It is 2 am and I was having some anxiety attacks. Your video calmed me down and I learned something.
Thank you :)

I liked all of these points. Beautiful presentation, Ms. Musayeva. I will add something that a friend taught me many years ago, and I think it’s important. After you have sent a gift to someone for any occasion, even for a wedding or birth of a child, under normal circumstances do NOT contact that person to see if the gift was received, or ask if they liked your gift. Once you have gifted someone, your work is done. Forget about the gift. The receiver will acknowledge the gift (hopefully) or they might not. Any inquiries about the gift could result in embarrassment for the gift receiver and will very likely not make you feel better about the lack of a “thank you”. Thoughts, anyone?

I'll say in Chinese cultures, money is the wedding/Chinese New Year gift - usually crisp, new bills in a red envelope.

I love the idea about using magazines for wrapping a gift 🎁
I've been using brown paper this year for my Christmas gifts and then I drew some ornaments and stars with a marker. It looks special because it's personalised. It's the small touches that make a difference 💖

I once gifted a bottle of olive oil to a friend! It was an amazing virgin olive oil made in my country! She loved it and thought it was original! 😅

Literally the big sister I never had... Thank you for doing these videos, I learn so much 💕

Whatever you choose to give, I hope all of you will support your respective local small/medium-sized enterprises this year.

In India people give money in decorative envelopes as wedding gifts. This can be given to both the close ones as well as someone you don't know that well.
Money is also given to children when a relative visits them.
