With the improvement of people's living standards, giving gifts to each other has become a way to express emotion and care, however, regarding the number of gifts, whether to choose odd or even, has been bothering many people.
From the perspective of cultural background and traditional customs, the idea of "good things come in pairs" is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture. When it comes to gift-giving, people tend to choose even-numbered gifts, which signify auspiciousness, smoothness, and pairing. Especially on festive occasions such as weddings and birthdays, it is more common to give even-numbered gifts to express blessings and auspiciousness. However, there are certain situations where it may be appropriate to give odd gifts. For example, when visiting the sick or mourning, people often choose singular gifts, implying that they hope that the sick will be soon** or mourn the deceased.

If the giver can choose the right amount of gifts based on the relationship with the recipient, the occasion, and the recipient's preferences, it can not only make the recipient feel their care and care, but also enhance the relationship between them. For example, for close relatives and friends, giving even-numbered gifts can express deep friendship; For people who are meeting for the first time or who are not very close, it may be more appropriate to give odd gifts to avoid misunderstandings or come across as too polite.
In modern society, with the continuous change and diversification of people's ideas, the number of gifts has gradually begun to break through the traditional limits.
For example, some people choose to give odd gifts to show special attention or respect for someone. Send even-numbered gifts to convey your hopes and wishes for a better future.
In addition, there are those who do not stick to the traditional odd or even number restrictions, and focus on the selection and matching of gifts. Through carefully selected gift matching and creative design, the gift not only has practical value, but also becomes a work of art or emotional sustenance. This creative gift not only surprises and delights the recipient, but also shows the personality and taste of the giver.
