Historically, all cultures across the world engaged in gift exchange. A prominent occasion, be it social or religion-based, is always marked by the ritual of gifting. Reward and recognition are often expressed through the culture of tendering gifts. For the first time, French anthropologist Marcel Mauss tapped into the study of gift exchange and its roots through a culture. The concept of gift-giving imbibes a sense of reciprocity.
A gift is always given with a hidden expectation of receiving something at some point in return. Such expectations of return may occur for tangible things or intangible benefits in the human mind. The satisfaction an individual derives by contributing to reducing environmental pollution is an intangible benefit that humans crave. This is because it gives humans a sense of dwelling in a healthy environment.
Gift-giving culture in India generally hovers around social and cultural festivals or occasions such as marriage and pre-marriage celebrations, birthdays, sacred thread ceremonies, baby shower ceremonies, ceremonies to celebrate childbirth, etc. Lately, Indians have been borrowing ideas from Western celebrations. India's urban population has started celebrating various personal and professional relations like Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Best Boss Day, children’s Day, women’s Day, etc.
In India and several other parts of the world, while visiting guests, hosts carry a small gift as a token of gratitude and appreciation for the invitation. Such conduct is typical gift-giving etiquette. For example, Indians take small boxes of sweets, cookies, dry desserts, or dry fruits. In the western part of the world, people mostly carry wine bottles. Indeed, gifting etiquette and cultures change from country to country. Interestingly, in China, people reject gifts three times before accepting them as a gesture of modesty. In India, people do not wrap gifts in white or black packaging because gifts packed in white and black are considered unlucky for the household.
Historically, in India, the commercial value of gifts has been equated to the status of the person providing the gift and the importance that the gift giver accords to the giftee. But, since the last half of this decade, Indians have witnessed a significant change in gifting etiquette. Gift givers have started realizing the latent purposes of gifting. The choice of gifts primarily depends upon the occasion and the purpose of gifting. While upfront, the purpose of gifting is to express one’s concern and joy, the latent purpose is the functionality of the gift and the ultimate impact that the use of gifts castes upon the environment and the local community. People worldwide have now started realizing that gifts that they tender must not be caustic to the environment but, at the same time, must aid in improving the environment.
Nowadays, it’s cool to gift eco-friendly idols, table wares and cutleries, solar lights, saplings of plants, nature-based healing products like massage stones, natural fragrances, organic fruits, vegetables and handmade sweets and cookies.
