Social etiquette of gift-giving etiquette

The acceptance of a gift and the acknowledgement of thanks is the recipient's affirmation of the giver's deep friendship, and it can, on the other hand, help the giver to fulfill the task of gift-giving.

In general, the recipient of a decent gift should accept it solemnly. Most people who have been lucky enough to receive a gift are not always socialized to accept it politely.

When another person verbally announces a gift, he or she should immediately stop whatever he or she is doing, get up and stand, and face the other person in order to be prepared.

In the other side to take out the gift, ready to give, should not reach out to grab, ask questions, or eyes staring at not let go, in order to see first. At this moment, you should keep your manners.

When the giver handed the gift, as far as possible, use both hands to meet. Don't pick up the gift with one hand, especially don't pick up the gift with your left hand alone. In accepting gifts, do not forget to smile, eyes on the other side. If you receive a gift list from the other party, you should immediately read it from beginning to end. Formal occasions, the recipient of the gift should be the left hand to support the gift (large gifts can be put down first), draw out the right hand to shake hands with the other party to thank.

You may be raving about the gift, but that's not enough. As soon as you receive the gift with both hands, you should immediately thank the person. Thank you. These three words show that it is not the gift itself that you are thanking, but the act of giving it to you.

You can also find something nice to say, or something pleasantly ambiguous. You can thank the giver for his or her efforts: ? It was nice of you to think of me. You can thank the person for their efforts in getting the right gift, such as: ? You remembered that I collect stamps.

Be polite when accepting a gift, but don't be too pushy and say, ? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! to hurt the feelings of the giver, even if the gift is not to your liking, but also should be polite to thank.

After accepting the gift, Europeans and Americans like in front of the guests, carefully open the gift to appreciate, from the outer packaging to praise the inner packaging, saw the gift, but also will be well praised, and even happy to embrace you a bit, with the gift giver *** with the sharing of the joy of receiving gifts. After appreciating the gift, they will re-wrap the gift, for them, this is a complete gift receiving etiquette.

The Chinese, on the other hand, generally do not open their gifts in front of the giver, but put them aside for later. This is to avoid embarrassment in case they don't like the gift, but also to show that they value the other party's intention to give a gift, rather than the gift. Another point is that if you give different gifts to people of different status, not opening the gifts on the spot can avoid comparing them with each other.

But today it is no longer so stereotypical. If the site conditions permit, time, not too many people, gift wrapping, then, after receiving the gift of others, should, as far as possible, in the presence of the other party, will be gift-wrapped on the spot unsealed. It indicates that they value each other, but also value the gifts given. In the unsealing, the action should be orderly, soothing and civilized, do not pull, tear, throw wrapping supplies, at this time, tearing the wrapping paper is considered rude manners. But please note that wedding gifts are not to be opened on the spot.

After opening the package in person, you should show your appreciation of the gift with appropriate actions and words. For example, you can hold up the flowers and smell them before putting them in a vase and placing them in a prominent place.

If someone gives you a scarf, put it around your neck right away, look at it in the mirror, and tell the giver and others present: ? I really like the color of it. or? This is a beautiful scarf. Never joke about a gift unless it is a prank gift.

Upon receiving a gift, the recipient is generally expected to reciprocate, thereby strengthening the bond and promoting friendship. In the holiday celebration period, you can immediately return the gift when the guests leave. In the birthday wedding, promotion, promotion and other times to accept the gift, should be in the other party has a similar situation or appropriate time to return.

The gifts should not be repeated, generally to the value of the same, but also according to their own circumstances, but do not have to return every gift.

Whenever you accept the gifts of others, you should pay attention to remember the content of the gift, back to the gift to choose similar items appropriate. For example, if someone gives me a set of pottery, you can choose the same kind of pottery as a gift.

Because the general public in the choice of gifts, unintentionally will choose their favorite items. Therefore, it is better to refer to the gifts given by the other party when giving back to them, and it is easier to win their joy.

After receiving a gift, be sure to express your gratitude in writing, not just a phone call. Thank you letters should be sent a few days after receiving the gift, two weeks at the latest, and it is polite to write to an older person as quickly as possible.

If you receive many gifts at once, you must also take the time to respond as soon as possible, and each gift should be thanked separately and in person. If it's a wedding gift, it's a different story - the giver knows you're both on your honeymoon, so they won't expect you to thank them until afterward.

If you have too many people giving you gifts or are too pressed for time to write a thank you note to each giver, send a postcard to each one to show that you have received the gift. This is a last resort strategy, and you should still write a thank you note later when you have time.

In the past, thank-you notes tended to be sent only to women, even if the gift was from a couple, but now they are addressed to whoever sent it. If the couple both signed the card, then the thank you note should also include the names of both partners.

Both the bride and groom can write thank you notes, but the letter must be signed by the letter writer themselves, although you can add the line ? We both really enjoyed your gift. If you have been given money, you can mention how you plan to spend it in the thank you letter, but don't mention the amount of money.

The letter must be written in your own handwriting, and it is disrespectful to your friends who took the time to choose the gift for you to fill in your signature in a pre-prepared, standardized format.

When you write a thank you letter, it should also sound as if you are saying thank you in person. The content should be short and concise, not too long, but full of emotion, and some words should be specifically mentioned, such as ? Your wonderful gift, etc.?

Thank you baskets for dances and dinners do not have to be accompanied by a thank you note. If it is really important, then it is still important to write a letter of thanks. It can be written on a formal card that says: ? You are so kind ------ I love it? or ? You shouldn't have ----- but it was touching.? Be careful to avoid in such cases ? Thank you? words.

It's worth noting that if you feel that the gift you received was of poor quality, don't praise it in your thank you note. Simply write: "Thank you for a wonderful day. Thank you for remembering me on this wonderful day.
