You know gift giving plays a very important role in nowadays society.Now let's see what happened in some countries.
Australia
Australia is known for its friendly informality and lack of etiquette.At a trade show，Tshirts，ties or a pin may be appropriate mementos.Anything more than these types of gifts could cause embarrassment(尴尬)．
Greece
The most common form of showing appreciation in Greece is probably an evening's entertainment.If you are invited to a Greek home，flowers or a cake for the hostess are a fit gift.
Germany
A West Virginia executive(主管)，visiting Germany for the first time，was invited to the home of his largest customer.He decided to bring his hostess a bouquet of flowers.He selected a dozen red roses.Oh！A terrible mistake! Flowers are often taken to a hostess of a dinner party at her home，but there are three taboos to remember：1)Red roses signify a romantic interest.2)An even number of flowers stand for bad luck，as does the number thirteen.3)Always unwrap the flowers before presenting them.This West Virginia was making what amounted to a pass at his customer's wife.
Italy
