How to Choose the Perfect Gift
It is almost Christmas and many of us are still scrambling around trying to choose the perfect gift for a friend or relative What do they want What do they need What can we buy We can spend hours in shops asking ourselves these questions There is another way to select the perfect gift but it involves changing our perception of what gift giving is all about
The problem is that we think about giving gifts as the exchange of physical objects A useful alternative is to think of a gift as communication When you give a gift to someone, what you are actually doing is speaking to them You buy, make or discover a gift that says something to the receiver They receive the gift, and if they are perceptive, they understand your message Of course this is obvious, but somehow we forget it when we go to choose gifts We focus first on the object or the need, then check what message it conveys

英国人一般送价钱不贵但有纪念意义的礼物，切记不要送百合花，因为这意味着死亡。收到礼物的人要当着众人的面打开礼物。
美国人送东西要送单数，且讲究包装。他们认为蜗牛和马蹄铁是吉祥物。
法国人送花的时候不要送菊花、杜鹃花及**的花；不要送带有仙鹤图案的礼物；也不要送核桃。他们认为仙鹤是蠢汉的标志，而核桃是不吉祥。
俄罗斯人送鲜花要送单数。用面包与盐招待贵客，表示友好和尊敬。最忌讳送钱给别人，因为这意味着施舍和侮辱。
日本人访亲问友、参加宴请都会带礼物。接、送礼物时要用双手，也不能当面打开礼物。再次见到送礼的人时要提及礼物的事，并表示感谢。忌送梳子，也不要送有狐狸、獾图案的礼物，因为梳子的发音与死相近。另外，菊花一般是王室专用花卉，所以一般人也不能送菊花。
