We probably know that there are many reasons to give gifts to your lovers or friends or family. There might some reasons that we give gifts to show appreciation, respect, love, build and maintain personal relationships, or even express an apology.
There are particular customs and etiquettes surrounding the giving and receiving of gifts. In Chinese culture, for instance, it is proper etiquette to present gifts with two hands, which means people showing loyalty and honesty to give gifts. In Western culture, getting your overweight cousin a diet magazine subscription or grimacing at the gem sweater Aunt Barb got you, are pretty bad form and should always be avoided. Reciprocating with gifts of similar quality and value is usually considered good measure.
One rule that generally applies cross-culturally though, is that once a gift is delivered and accepted, it cannot be revoked. However, there are many exceptions to the rules in France. Take a look at the other side of gift-giving; a side that most of us may not ask about, may not really think about, but is very practical and interesting legal knowledge to know.
No matter what rules for gifts-presenting, the way without any bad purposes that you give gifts always is being accepted.
