Gift Giving: What Is It Like During The Ancient Times

By Michal Ray


Gift giving is really a custom that dates back throughout many hundreds years of mankind's history. It appears that people have been giving gifts for special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays and holidays since the dawn of humanity. In the earlier period, unique objects and other natural substances like reeds and barks were offered to the high people in society like tribal leaders. This tradition is done to show their allegiance in addition to the need to procure favours. To this contemporary day, this remains to be the practice.

Throughout history, around the globe, there are multitudes of gift giving customs and traditions. As a matter of fact, as part of their ancient traditions, ancient people give gifts to their Gods in forms of precious metals, jewellery, animal life and in some cases human lives. In Egypt, among the most ostentatious gifts of their culture are the great pyramids and also the monuments of Pharaohs whom they valued as Gods.

In the Roman culture, they give gifts to one another on special occasions and during the very first day of the year. It is customary to offer sweet cakes because of the belief of creating the upcoming year sweet, coins for affluence and lamps to light the journey through life. It is also a practice to offer small gifts to birthday celebrators.

In the modern world where we live, gifts are given for a wide range of reasons. We give presents for religious and cultural celebrations like Christmas and Easter. In the Merlion City, it is also common to give away corporate gift Singapore. Corporate gifts are pretty important in the business industry as corporate gifts build relationships. We also offer gifts to indicate love on birthdays, farewells, welcoming, holiday seasons, to celebrate birth or just because we want to.

In conclusion, we can say that gift giving is such a wonderful ancient tradition that we still practice despite the fast-paced world where we live these days. The thing is, a gift does not have to be a tangible item or an upscale material thing - it could also be something unseen, something simple. It could be in the form of a warm smile or a few kind words. What's important is that it comes from your heart.
