And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob, is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
-- Gen. 32:20 (KJV)
Jacob was thinking the way many of us think now. Give somebody a gift to gain acceptance from that particular person. There's no need to bribe someone for his or her affection. If a person doesn't accept you for who you are, then stop looking for their acceptance.
