the gift and wants to show his / her appreciation to you immediately. Even if the host doesn't like it, he / she
will tell a white lie' and say how much they like the gift to prevent the guest from feeling bad.
If your host asks you to arrive at the particular time, you should not arrive exactly on time or earlier than
expected time, because this is considered to be inconvenient and therefore rude, as the host may not be
ready.
