Wherever you go, there are situations where you need to give gifts and Americans like to give gifts to maintain relationships. However, if you are new to the United States and give a gift to them in the same way as you would in your own country.

It is likely to be misunderstood and have the opposite effect. It is important to understand the gift-giving habits in the US.

1. Gifts from ordinary friends

When giving a gift, Americans will make a point of emphasizing how they prepared the gift, why they chose it for you, and that they hope it is something you will like and that it will be completely useful to you. When receiving a gift, Americans will also try to show that they love the gift as much as possible, opening it in person and admiring it.

They will also make a point of writing an email or calling a few days later to say thank you again. This is usually done when a junior receives a gift from an elder, otherwise, it is considered rude.

2. Giving a gift to a teacher

The most common gifts Americans give to teachers on Teacher's Day are homemade cards, handwritten thank-you notes, homemade cupcakes, crafts, or flowers.

In addition, on Teacher's Day, there is a donation drive where parents volunteer in class to show their appreciation for their teachers, or one parent is chosen to represent the class and collect donations to buy vouchers for the teacher.

3. Wedding gifts

When Americans get married, most people buy gifts rather than give money directly, and the couple will receive gifts according to their needs.

Before the wedding, couples usually register at a department store, make a note of what they need and then inform their friends and family so that they can check the couple's gift list when buying gifts and buy gifts according to what is on it.

There is more transparency as gifts can be chosen at different prices depending on the level of relationship with the couple.

The Spanish are very warm and spirited people and pay special attention to the smallest details when giving a gift, even if it is a small gift, it is always wrapped in wrapping paper and some have a message or a small card on it.

When giving a gift to someone, the gift will be given with great fanfare, so that everyone knows that the gift is a magnificent one, and the person receiving the gift will open it with great joy, cheering with delight and expressing their expectations and love for the gift with the same fervor as when opening it.
