In social situations, gift-giving has become an important way to express emotions and enhance relationships. Generally speaking, it is better to give gifts as early as possible. In festivals, celebrations or important occasions, people tend to prepare gifts in advance, and giving gifts early means expressing blessings or gratitude in advance, showing the sincerity and importance of the giver. In traditional culture, early gift-giving also symbolizes preconceived ideas, seizing opportunities, and has a positive meaning.
For some specific occasions and objects, the time of gift-giving needs to follow certain traditional norms. For example, a new son-in-law comes to the door for the first time, or for elders and superiors, early delivery of gifts is still a sign of respect and courtesy. And for some important business occasions or partners, it is also necessary to communicate in advance and determine the time and method of gift-giving. In addition, in some cultures and regions, there may also be specific customs and taboos regarding the timing of gift-giving.
Take the Spring Festival as an example, if it is an important relative or a close relative, it is best to be in the lunar month.
Ten. Eight, twenty or twenty-two gifts are given to show the importance of mutual relations. Giving early gifts can also avoid waste, so that the host family has a good idea of the holiday consumption and avoid repeated purchases.
However, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase in work pressure, people's concept of time has changed a lot. In this case, the phenomenon of late gift-giving is gradually increasing. Compared with early giving, late giving is more time-saving, which is conducive to creating a festive atmosphere, so that the recipient can feel care and warmth when they need it most. However, late gift-giving may cause excessive concentration and waste of gifts, which is not conducive to the host's reasonable arrangement of holiday consumption.
