What's the point of paying red envelopes in the New Year?

China is a country of etiquette. This is a human society. The annual Spring Festival is coming. There are many beautiful gifts and red envelopes every New Year. But the customs of each place are different. Everyone's financial situation is different. Therefore, Chinese New Year gifts are all red envelopes. Do it according to your actual situation, don't blindly compare with others. Gifts are given to different people. It is best to choose gifts according to the needs of the giver. That's the best.

During the Spring Festival. Everyone will send some red envelopes and gifts. Let's talk about who they will give them to first.

1, elders, show respect for the elderly. Send my best wishes. For example, smile often. Always young. Happiness is like the East China Sea. The first Nanshan ...

2. The younger generation hopes that the next generation will grow sturdily. I also want to send my best wishes. For example, study hard and make progress every day. Strive hard and create greater glories. ...

3, peers, that is, courtesy communication. The greeting is. Good luck running with you when the new year comes. Family harmony and career happiness. ...

4. Give red envelopes and gifts to unmarried people. Generally, this figure is large, and it should be carried out according to local customs.

First, give out red envelopes.

The amount of red envelopes is a headache for everyone. The amount of red envelopes is too big for me. The amount is not large. And then I felt embarrassed. Under such circumstances, how much is the most appropriate red envelope? I think we should adhere to two principles.

1, according to your own income, do what you can. Don't see other people's red envelopes in high spirits, you will also get fat. If the family condition is not good, everyone will see it. Give some red envelopes appropriately. Others will understand this. Don't care about these.

2. According to local customs. Not everyone will meet and give red envelopes according to their own world.

Red envelopes must have a good meaning. For example, 1 1 1. That is, 1 1 satisfaction. 168 It's all the way. That's a long time. Now these numbers have a new meaning. It's very different from before. In the past, China people were most afraid of 3 and 4, and thought 3 was discrete. 4 stands for death. But now unmarried young men and women on the internet. My favorite red envelope is 13 14. Represents being together for life. If you send a red envelope yourself, you'd better take this seriously. Just tell the other party not to get me wrong. Of course, according to the object of giving the red envelope, you can also create a beautiful meaning immediately. Send it to others. Telling it to others will better set off the festive atmosphere.

Second, what gifts should I give for the New Year?

1, give something practical, not necessarily how expensive this gift is. The other party really knows how to use it. That's the best gift. For example, the elder doesn't have a mobile phone. Give him a mobile phone. You can also connect feelings.

2, according to the situation of different people. Give him what he really wants. For example, I am a junior, and I especially like skateboarding. This makes him very happy.

3. Some special people need special treatment. For example, some of them like drinking tea and alcohol very much. Send him some tea sets. Wine. It will also make the other party particularly like it.
