why give gifts to each other

Why do people give gifts to each other?

I suppose it could be for a number of reasons, of which probably the main one would be that it shows that you care about the person you’re giving the gift to, and that you value the relationship you have with them. But as well as this, it could just be cos it’s the customary thing to do on certain occasions, and so some people might simply feel obliged to give something, rather than do it out of the goodness of their heart, if you know what I mean!

Value  － 珍惜

Customary－  通常下；是一种习惯

feel obliged － 感到必须得

out of the goodness of their heart   －  出于好心

if you know what I mean － 如果你懂我的意思
