Different countries have different customs about gifts.

As an exchange student (交换生) studying in China, I’ve known more interesting differences from my country, the UK. For example, people often give fruits and milk to their friends and relatives in China. In my country, they are usually for patients in hospitals.

More western people open their gifts at once, although not in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签) before giving the gift.

What will you do if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, in order not to hurt the person’s feelings, you still need to say you love the gift. But if there is the receipt (收据) inside the gift, that means you can change it for something else.

Please remember: The thought is more valuable than the size or the price of the gift.
