Gift Giving brings together 21 scholars from a variety of disciplines - including consumer behavior, communications, and sociology - who are dedicated to the understanding of what motivates gift selection, presentation, and incorporation of a gift into a person's life. The text explores the role of values in gift exchange; the influence of ethnic, generational, and subcultural differences in gift exchange; how gifts to the self are manifested; and new directions and topics in gift giving. In these essays, gift-giving occasions are probed for the meaning that can be illuminated with respect to this pervasive, yet not always positive, phenomenon. For anyone interested in gift-giving behavior, this volume should prove both enlightening and provocative.
