By Kim Da-ye

In Korea, May is called the month dedicated to families. Children’s Day falls on the 5th and Parents’ Day on the 8th. For many, Teachers’ Day on the 15th is equally important.

Often gratitude is expressed by presenting gifts on those particular days. This is not a simple task for busy businessmen and hardworking businesswomen to add to their already full agenda.
