Sometimes getting a gift can be overwhelming, for instance when you don’t expect it from a particular person. However, if someone is taking a step forward, you should appreciate it and take a step forward yourself as well.

When you actually receive a gift, you should smile and thank the other person. Depending on the situation, you can either choose to unwrap the gift at the spot or keep it for later. If you open it there, be sure not to criticize the gift or be visibly disappointed if it is not something you like. Give positive feedback and once again, appreciate the thought behind the gesture. If you open up your gift at home later on, be sure to give the person a call back or write to him/her about the gift and how you like it.
