Etiquette

선물하기

Giving gifts

Gifts smooth relationships, but some items and numbers carry meanings you'll want to avoid.

DoGive with both hands; fruit, quality snacks or gift sets are safe choices. · Expect the gift may be opened later, not in front of you.

AvoidAvoid sets of four — 4 (사) sounds like the word for death. · Avoid shoes for a partner — there's a saying they'll walk away.
