B argain.CA is a bargain finder and GIFT website.
A
gift or present is the transfer of something, without the need
for compensation that is involved in trade. A gift is a voluntary act which
does not require anything in return.
Even though it involves possibly a social expectation of reciprocity, or a
return in the form of prestige or power, a gift is meant to be free. It is
not a
classifieds
site.
In
many human societies, the act of mutually exchanging money, goods, etc. may
contribute to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics of
gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy.
By extension the term gift can refer to anything that makes the other
happier or less sad, especially as a favour, including forgiveness and
kindness (even when the other is not kind).
When material objects are given as gifts, in many cultures they are
traditionally 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 wrapping connotes luck.
