CulturalRules of Gift Giving
Giving gifts can be confusing and even offensive
when the giver and the recipient are from different cul-
tures. An American might offend a Chinese person with
the gift of a clock because clocks symbolize death in
China. Giving a gift to an Arab person on first meeting
would be interpreted as a bride. Bringing flowers to a
dinner hosted by a person from Kenya would puzzle the
host because in Kenya flowers are given only to express
sympathyover a loss. And in Switzerland, givingred roses
is interpreted as indicating romantic interest. Also, the
Swiss consider even numbers of flowers bad luck, so
giving a dozen is inappropriate and the recipient would
probably interpret the gift as reflecting ill will.
