Best Answer

The giving of gifts is significant because it can show that you care about someone enough to give some of your time to give them a present, and really shows that you are just well mannered. The exchanging of gifts is not a new concept, because a while ago, there were traditions such as the custom of Xenia in ancient Greek times where it was important to give your visitor a gift, because they might have been a god or goddess in disguise (anthropomorphism).
