The gift is given in a special decorated package. It is a wonderful selection of candies. Each child has a Guirgian bag into which they put the sweets they collect. The bags come in all kinds of different forms. They are part of the traditional costumes that the children wear. The bag can have Arabic writing on it. I think the words wish everyone a happy Guirgian.
