Everyone loves gifts! But each country has different customs( 习俗).
As a European( 欧洲人) living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences from home. For example, in China, people often give fruits and milk. In Europe, these are usually for hospital visits.
Many Europeans open their gifts right away, although not in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag( 标签) before giving the gift.
What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift so you don’t hurt other people’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt( 收据) inside the gift, you can just change it for something else.
How the gift looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper( 包装纸) for every gift we buy, we will make a lot of wastes( 垃圾). Now many people are choosing newspaper or maps as wrappings to help protect the environment.
Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the price of the gift.
