Gifts should generally be delivered in person. But sometimes you can attend the wedding and send it in advance. Celebrating festivals and giving annual gifts can be delivered to your door or mailed. At this time, the business card of the giver should be attached to the gift, or the congratulatory message can be handwritten and packed in an envelope of the same size. The recipient's name should be marked on the envelope and pasted on the top of the gift package. Usually, it is not appropriate to give gifts to only one person in a group in public. Because the recipient will feel fooled by accepting bribes, and it will make the person who confiscated the gift feel left out and despised.
Don't give gifts to close people in public, so as not to give the public a feeling that your close relationship is completely supported by material things. Only special gifts that are light in ceremony and heavy in righteousness and express special feelings are suitable for giving in public.

Pay attention to attitude, action and language expression when giving gifts. Peaceful, friendly, natural and elegant movements accompanied by polite language expressions are acceptable to the receiver. The practice of quietly putting gifts under the table or in the corner of the room like thieves not only fails to achieve the purpose of giving gifts, but even backfires. In the general habit of our country, when giving gifts, I always say too modestly, "Little gift! Thin gift! " "It's just a little something" or "I'm sorry ..." It's best to avoid this practice. Of course, if you say "this is a very valuable thing!" in an almost proud tone when giving. When introducing gifts, we should emphasize our kindness and kindness to the recipients, rather than the actual value of the gifts, which is also inappropriate. Otherwise, it will fall into a situation of valuing ceremony over righteousness, and even make the other party feel that they are taking bribes.

For example, there is a common saying in China called "yes man". Therefore, all gifts for big congratulations and great joy are always taboo, but the even number "4" is taboo in Guangdong, because in Cantonese, "4" sounds like "death" and is unlucky. Even the best white is pure, but it is taboo in China, because in China, white is often the color of great compassion. Similarly, black is considered unlucky, the color of disaster and mourning. On the other hand, red is a symbol of joy, peace and celebration and is widely loved by people. In addition, people in China often pay attention not to send clocks to the elderly or pears to lovers, because "sending clocks" is homophonic with "seeing off" and "pears" are unlucky.
