What do Mexicans get for Christmas?

It depends on closeness between those who are exchanging gifts, but some common occurrences include:

• Small jewelry (chains, earrings, necklaces)
• Small clothing accessories (neckties, handkerchiefs, scarfs)
• Larger clothing (sweaters, jackets)
• Books
• Plush toys - for young kids and girlfriends

Money as a gift is often badly seen - it shows carelessness - but it can be an acceptable gift if sums of 2,000 pesos (US$162, or the equivalent to $650 in the United States) or more are provided with a greetings card within a sealed envelope.
