What is the symbolic meaning of a scarf as a gift?

Answer 1

Well, honey, a scarf as a gift can symbolize warmth, comfort, and style. It's like saying, "Hey, stay cozy and fabulous, darling!" So, whether it's a gesture of affection or just a fashionable accessory, a scarf can speak volumes without saying a word.

Answer 2

Over the ancient times, people in authority wore scarves like the emperor, temple priest, etc (this custom was followed in Roman, Greek, China, Japan , India)...

In present day, scarves are often given to elderly people (teachers, politicians, charity workers,etc).

Thus it usually means respect.

However if given to a boyfriend/girlfriend, it means you treasure him/her & want him/her to be in the (morally) good path always;

if given to a child &/or husband/wife, it means affection.
