Present and receive things with both hands.

Chinese people usually do not unwrap the gifts when the receive them. It is considered polite in Chinese culture to open the gifts after you leave. When you receive a gift from Chinese people, do not open them unless they insist, or you may simply say, "Can I open it?"

When wrapping gifts, avoid using white or black wrapping paper, and avoid wrapping elaborately. Consider red or other festive colors.

Even numbers are considered good luck, with number four being the exception. It is appropriate to send one gift or send them in pairs.

It is inappropriate to send a clock or things to do with four as a gift, because they associate with funeral and death. Scissors or sharp things are not proper either, since they symbolize severing relations.

Small items like books, music CDs, perfumes, cigarettes and candies from your country are always well received.
