It has been extensively studied for its cultural, psychological, and economic significance. This study aims to showcase the efforts of various researchers and the journals that share their work with readers. It looks at publication trends, areas of research, and research patterns based on bibliographic analysis using data mining. 86 articles from Scopus were analyzed. Various techniques like three-field plot, bibliographic coupling of documents, term co-occurrence maps, bar charts, line graphs were used. The findings reveal an increasing trend in publications and citations. The leading contributions are from the United States, United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Notable emerging topics include virtual gifting, impression management, joint gift-giving, and the influence of live-streaming platforms. Term co-occurrence and bibliographic coupling analyses identified major areas of focus, such as consumer behavior, cultural values, and peer dynamics. These insights demonstrate the evolution of gift-giving studies, particularly the shift toward online and digital contexts. These findings will help future researchers by providing them with a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in Gift-Giving behavior.
