    Sadly, in the U.S. we don't give gifts at New Year's. However, we do celebrate quite a bit during that time!! But no gifts. Guess I need to move!

    In Denmark, a New Year's gift is not a tradition. However, some few people give a New Year's Gift to their loved ones etc...I do.
    Maybe the tradition is growing I don't know...
    I have always got money presents from my mother, as she is Japanese...
