A "Kado" is a term used in Indonesian and Malay that translates to "gift" or "present" in English. It refers to an item given voluntarily without expecting anything in return, often to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, or holidays. The act of giving a kado is a way to express love, appreciation, or gratitude. Kados can vary widely in form, from handmade crafts to store-bought items. Common examples include toys, clothing, or books. The presentation of a kado is also important, often involving decorative wrapping or packaging to enhance the experience of receiving it.
