Gift Giving Etiquette
If you are invited to someone's home, bring a box of good chocolates or flowers to the hostess.
Invitations to tea are formal and require the same gift as would a dinner party.
Flowers should be given in odd numbers, but not 13, which is considered an unlucky number.
Do not give chrysanthemums as they are used at funerals.
A small gift for the children is always appreciated.
Gifts are not usually opened when received if there are other guests present.
