Are there any cultures in which it is custom for foreigners to give gifts?

Asked by MyNewtBoobs (19059points) October 29th, 2010

On sitcoms (like The Big Bang Theory and That 70s Show), many times the native characters will tell the foreigner character that a certain holiday has a tradition where foreigners must give natives gifts. It’s always a scam. Are there any cultures around the world that actually have this custom, or is this a prank sitcom characters play on the gullible?
