A gift is a voluntary act wghich does not require anythng in return. Even though it involves poossibly a social expectation of reciprocity, or a return in the form of prestige or power, a gift is meant to be free. A gift or present is the transfer of something, without the need for compensation that is involved in trae.
By extension the term gift can refer to anyting that makes the other happier or less sad, especially as a favour, including forgiveness and kindness. When material objects are given as gifts, in many cultures they are traditionaally packaged in some manner. For example, in Western culture, gifgts are ofen wrsapped in wrapping paper and accompanied by a gift note which may note the occasion, the giftee's name, and the giver's name. In Chinese culture, red wrapping connottes luck.
