6 Surprisingly Creative Ways to Give Cash as a Gift
A gift is something valuable given without expecting anything in return; a bribe is the same item provided with the goal of gaining influence or advantage. Bribes and gifts can be monetary or in-kind, such as tickets to a sporting event, entertainment, vacation, rounds of golf, or restaurant meals.
Gifts are considered a form of expression of affection between friends or family members. They can also be used as a tool for getting what you want from others. For example, if your friend wants to be invited to a party, they could give the hoster a gift of enamel pins that represent them at their most popular or memorable moment from when we met. This would be an example of gift giving because nothing is expected in return.
Bribery involves providing someone with money or goods with the intention of influencing them to do something you want done. For example, a company might provide its employees with a day off to celebrate a special occasion such as an employee's birthday, with the intent of making them feel appreciated by showing that they are part of a community. However, if an employee receives gifts from other employees, this would be considered bribery since it is being done to influence them to act in ways that will benefit the briber rather than the recipient.
Gift giving and bribery can be used interchangeably depending on the situation.
