Gifts are highly appreciated in the
Ethiopian culture and are normally given during religious celebrations and
events.
Most gifts are always sealed and
wrapped when submitted to the host.
Expensive gifts are not commonly
given as most people are not rich.
Examples of common gifts to give are
flowers, pastries or fruits.
It is a norm to give gifts with the
right hand or two hands to symbolize respect and the left hand is never used in
such scenarios. The left hand is reserved for ablution purposes.
