Saying 'Thank You' And Responding To Thank You

Ryan: Here is a gift for you.

Alice: Thank you so much, but you didn't have to do that.
(If anybody says "you didn't have to do that" it means that the person is feeing awkward to accept the gift.)

Ryan: It is just a little something.
('Something' indicates a non-specified object. And here 'little' means small in amount.)

Alice: That is 'very sweet' of you. Thank you.
('Very Sweet' is generally used to describe a person as nice.)

Ryan: You are welcome. I hope you will like it.
('You are welcome' is used as a polite response to thanks. But here Ryan means that he did a tiny bit thing to Alice and that is presenting her a gift and not anything big favour to Alice.)

Alice: I am sure, I will like it.
