Presenting gifts is an important facet of Chinese etiquette. As such, it has significant social ramifications. On the one hand, as the Chinese saying goes, "A swan's feather sent 1,000 miles may seem insignificant, but the feeling it engenders is profound." On the other, presenting an appropriately expensive gift can be crucial to cementing lucrative business relationships.
