Make an Imression with a Gift Basket
A gift or present is the transfer of money, goods, etc., without the direct compensation that is involved in trade, although possibly involving a social expectation of reciprocity, or a return in the form of prestige or power. In many human societies, the act of mutually exchanging gifts contributes to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics of gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy.
By extension the term gift can refer to anything that makes the other more happy or less sad, especially as a favor, including forgiveness, and kindness (even when the other is not kind).
The occasion may be:
Expression of love or friendship
Expression of gratitude for a gift received
Expression of piety, in the form of charity
Expression of solidarity, in the form of mutual aid
To share wealth
To offset misfortune
Offering travel souvenirs
Custom, on occasions (often celebrations) such as
A birthday (the person who has his or her birthday gives cake, etc. and/or receives gifts)
A potlatch, in societies where status is associated with gift-giving rather than acquisition.
Christmas (people give each other gifts, often supposedly receiving them from Santa Claus)
Saint Nicholas (people give each other gifts, often supposedly receiving them from Saint Nicholas)
A wedding (the couple receives gifts and gives food and/or drinks at the wedding reception)
A funeral (visitors bring flowers, the relatives of the deceased give food and/or drinks after the ceremonial part)
A birth (the baby receives gifts)
