Hi everyone
And welcome back to happy hour
欢迎回来酒馆
Hi Onland
Hi lo lyou
Hi everyone
Let's look at some specific gifts okay
And let's approach it from our own perspective
And an analyze these gits ts ah
So the first one is the rice cooker like kitchen appliances something so functional yeah
Is nothing sexy rorotic
About about how do do feel about that well well can imagine in advice cooker and be a really nofungiyeah gift
Because rice cookers aren't common yeah
But the equivalent of it
What if they give you micicrowave well yeah
That type of thing
Yes
It's going to be a bit to utilitarian okay
So it would be like giving an oven to a chinese frit yeah
Because chinese we don't really use oven to that extent yeah
Exactly in that way
It will be like a novel gift is practical but also sort of interesting and also fun as well i've received gifts such as pasta maker 利面yeadand 压面机and fum do set yeah
These are because they know i'm a footy
I like cooking as well
So that's a kind of a novelty present was actually
That is a perfect novelty present um
Because it shows a lot of thought
I melet's t's be honest
You don't really use a phone
Do do say every single week
No
It's like a sensification
It's a sensification
Yeah
有点仪式感的那种
Okay
I'm moving on to what about cash
Cash Yes
Oay well verstival obviously the idea
The home 包
嗯
In chinese is completely different
In the uk
So if you get cash from someone
It feels very impersonal
It's very transactional
So is a good transaction
It basically is a way of saying
I can't think of what to give you
Ah i'm not going to really make any efeffort
I here you do it exextly tly me that
That would perperfebecause it's like
Yeah
First first all i'm liberating you from the duduty from choosing me a efft that i may
I may not like
Second of all i get to make my own choices oah
But
But where as we was look at that as very impersonal
Um it's a way of saying
I can't be bothered to think about what you want
Or i don't know you that well
Or i don't really pay attention to you that much
Yeah
Some people are very difficult to get gifts for
So you do have people give gift voutures
Oh Yeah
And for example
My dad
My dad is awful to buy for
And he would just basically want cash really um
Or he won an amazon valoujob
So you can buy a book
So i guess it's very very
I would really say it's very personal as well yeah
Not just cultural yeah
Yeah
My mom would more appreciate if she likes something
If she mentioned it
And i just buy it for her
Oh Yeah
Yeah
Instead of giving her the money persontly ly what about luxury goods a branded something a design of brand
Um
It's a difficult one
Some people think it's too much is too flashhy
You might get like a brand purse or perfume for your boyfriend
Girlfriend
Husband wiwife
Um will probably more husband wife really okay
Because if you get that for anyone else it's too much
And it would be seen as too much
Your burden
Oh
Because they need to reciprocate exactly to it back
Yeah
Do you have such a thing like if i give you something of certain value
Monetary value
You have to at some point return
Yes That
Because this is one thing that a lot of families and also friends do as well they will on on price lidit
Although set a budget
Yeah Oh
So if we decide to give each other gifts for the christmas
Then we say always set a budget of five hundred rnb
Yeah
Don't go over that exactly um so that is quite common
And if my family does it
We just say okay
This is the budget
Um you know
Don't go over it
Um the thing is i guess we give expensive gifts
I mean apart from when you day someone
Yeah
Usually you give someone an expensive gifts
Especially in business situations to show you value the recipient status
Yes
You don't want to humiliate them with anything less no precisely um
And what about the good old flowers
Or i don't know sended candles that sort thing those are good gift to give to friends
Um i wouldn't give flowers to someone for christmas
Maybe for their birthday
Even for the birthday probably wouldn't give flowers
But yeah
Maybe like so saw candles for like a female friend
You just want to give them something nice
But you don't want to spend too much money
And when you say to give to a female friends stops gender ous dereootyping
I've seen you really really appreciate cented candles and you specifically ask llu next time can you get me some sentience
Okay
Ok women and my land
Yeah
I may yeah for me under other hand
No no
If
If you give me centre candles for like a holiday or my birthday
I just feel like you don't know me at all well yeah
You really do not know me at all yeah
I guess flowers and all that especially for older generation it would just seem so impractical
So in substantial
If memoral
No the whole thing about why are you wasting your money on that
Especially a biver sign of age as well
What you stosay say
Oh
Why you waste your money on that
No
I'm not saying it
I'm just say ok ok ok from from older generation ok ay ok
嗯
If feels like in the west
Gifts are more focused on vibes and sentiments
Well you end the east to gifts um focus more on value in substance
Yeah
Again they're just different logic
No exactly um but as more approaching more today
And let's look at their not to do
Yes i think it's perhaps
More complex the tboost to gifting toboost and more complex in asia for example theare certain colors you don't give their numbers
You don't
You have to avoid like four
Yeah
There are so many pons in it as my like clocks as well
Yeah
To a clock
I've actually received clocks
Oh Okay
That's no good no no obviously by a non chinese speaker well i guess
And also in more hierarchical societies
There's the hierarchy and reciprosity
Yes
就是有那个等级制度
还有就是我们礼
礼尚往rereciprooity
Yeah give you something
You give me something
And also i all
Always
Always
I'm getting confused about this
Do you open the gifts right in front of the gift giver or not in the uk
In the uk
Yes 嗯
That's a polite thing to do
That's a polite thing to do
Normally you do ask can i open it um
But then the other person can say
Say you can ah well the thing is that the other person might 是so for example
If it's like a christmas present
And you're given it to them a week before christmas
They might say jokenly are don't open yet wait to christmas
Um
But generally if you get a present
You open it
Because it's a way of showing that you are happy with the present
Because you just put it to the side
It shows that you don't care about their effort
But in china i would say a lot of times if you open the gift right in front of the gift giver right after they give it to you
Yeah
It's kind well i know
I know it also shows you a bit desperate
Oh Yeah No
But that's the thing is a completely different idea
Um
Because for me not to open the present
Shows that i don't care about it okay as where approaching the end
Why don't we look to the future
Would the future of gigiving be like well do you think to be more experience
I would say a lot more experience
I like trips concerts
Because there's more to focus on the experience
It's more focus on building memories
But also nowadays you get charity donations instead
Oh Yeah
I've seen that in china
Lest so
But i have seen that in europe
Yeah
So instead of giving me monittgifts just a donate in my name
Oh Yeah Um
Or the quest lists so for weddings
It's generally quite accepted that you give like a wedding list
Wedding register
Oh Yeah
Let the register so the new couple
They would say these other things we want
Yeah
And then you're almost adopt one of the gifts
Yeah
认领一个礼物
然后你就是送那个礼物就可以了
Yeah
But also could have amazon wish list for example
Um some people do that um to be se
I should really do that
Myself actually think it's a good idea like the request less
Yeah
You can actually share a wishlist
嗯
And you can share with your friends or your family
Yeah
It certainly would make the work a lot easier more
Yeah
Precisely
嗯 Oh Right
And on that note
We're going to wrap up this topic
Leave us comon in the common section
Tell us what your gifting ideas are
What was the best gift you have ever received
Yeah
So until next time
So unsee you next time
