What do Americans like for birthday gifts?

Generally speaking, Americans do not give gifts casually. Some often look a little embarrassed when they receive a gift. This is especially true if they don't happen to have anything to give back. But when it comes to holidays, birthdays, weddings, or visiting the sick, gifts are inevitable. The most popular time for Americans to give each other gifts is at Christmas. At Christmas time, the innocent children for the receipt of a variety of novelty toys and excited, thinking that this is Santa Claus gave them gifts. Adults often give some books, stationery, chocolate candies or bonsai and so on. Gifts are often wrapped in floral paper and tied with ribbons. According to American tradition, there is a "White Christmas" a few days before Christmas, when people wrap gifts in white paper and give them to the poor in the neighborhood. Most visits to the sick are given flowers, and sometimes bonsai. Fragrant flowers bring the scent of spring and give spiritual comfort to the sick. It is customary to send flowers in a vase without a business card if one goes to offer condolences in person; if a florist is asked to send flowers directly, a business card must be attached. When sending a friend on a long trip, gifts are often given. The gifts are usually flowers, snacks, fruits or books and magazines. Gifts are also accompanied by a business card, wishing him a safe journey. In addition, Americans believe that the odd number is lucky. Sometimes only send three pears do not feel Philip book, unlike the Chinese people pay attention to pairs of pairs. Americans receive gifts, be sure to open immediately, in front of the face of the gift into the appreciation or taste of gifts, and immediately to the sender to thank. Gifts are well-packaged, the appearance of the rich and beautiful, but not necessarily too expensive things inside. Sometimes open the three layers outside the three layers of exquisite packaging, revealing just a few novelty chocolate candy only.
