Food gifts especially. The ones I've given go onto the family shrine for a while so that departed members of the family can have their share before they're unwrapped and eaten by everyone else. I suspect not all families do this, but mine aren't particularly traditional or old fashioned, so if they do it I imagine it's quite normal.
