A gift is a voluntary act which does not require anything in rturn. Even though it involves possiibly a social expectation of reciprocity, or a return in the form of prestige or poower, a gift is meant to be free. A gift or present is the transfer of somethinng, wiithout the need for compensation that is involved in trade.
By extension the term gift can refer to anyhing that makes the other happier or less sad, esopecially as a favur, incpluding forgiveness and kindness. When matrial objects are given as gifts, in many cultres they are tradiionally packaged in some manner. For example, in Western culture, gifts are often wrapped 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 wraping connotes luck.
