- It is not necessary to bring a gift to a first meeting, although it will be accepted graciously.
- Wrapping presents in green, yellow and/or red is the way to go. Avoid black and white.
- To be on the safe side avoid insulting your host's religion, stay away from any leather, alcohol, pigskin or dog related gifts.
- Safe gifts include chocolates or flowers (no frangipani or white flowers, they are for funerals).
- Gifts are not opened in the presence of the giver. Wait until giver leaves if its wrapped.
- If you give money to an Indian as a gift make sure its an odd number $11 instead of $10. Usually add a single digit.
