Lithuania is the southernmost of the three Baltic States – and the largest and most populous of them. It’s a multifaceted country: Lithuania’s nature is breathtaking, flat landscapes with low hills in the western uplands and eastern highlands. But its cities are also beautiful: the Lithuanian capital Vilnius is a picturesque city on the banks of the rivers Neris and Vilnia, and it has one of the most impressive and biggest old towns in Eastern Europe. Lithuanians like above all the summer time because the winters are dark and long... Why not send a special surprise to relieve the winter months? Here you can find some gift advices when sending a gift to Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda, Jonava or to any place in Lithuania:

BUSINESS GIFT GIVING IN LITHUANIA

Lithuanians prefer to turn business relationships into friendships. Giving or sending business gifts is almost a standard practice in Lithuanian business culture. An office gift could be a bottle of white wine, a box of high quality chocolates or a basket with tea and biscuits.
Once a friendship has developed, Lithuanians are willing to discuss business.
It is important to make your initial contact with a high-ranking person who is in a position to make a decision.
Although they are industrious and hard working, most Lithuanians are very modest. People who brag are deemed arrogant.
At the same time, Lithuanians are impressed by titles of authority and advanced university degrees, so it is a good idea to let them know your status within your company.
Accept offers of hospitality and reciprocate, as this is the sign of a true friend.
Lithuanians will not be rushed into making a deal. They must think it is in their best interest before agreeing.
Business moves slowly due to the bureaucratic nature of society.
Lithuanians often use time as a tactic, especially if they know that you have a deadline. Be cautious about letting your business colleagues know that you are under time pressure or they will delay even more.
Expect to discuss each point thoroughly before moving on to the next.

PERSONAL GIFT GIVING IN LITHUANIA

The Lithuanian’s celebrate name days rather than birthdays. If you want to send a gift to a Lithuanian friend, it would be a good idea to choose a wine basket or a chocolate gourmet gift. You can always personalize the gift with ribbons or a card with the name of your friend.
Christmas is still the most important holiday celebrated in Lithuania. If you can’t go in person to Lithuania to visit your family during this Christmas period, they would appreciate that you send them a little but nice Christmas gift. Send a bottle of white wine, champagne or chocolate sweets.
Gifts are generally opened when received.
The family is very important in Lithuania and also the centre of the social structure. So if you’re considering sending a gift to a Lithuanian family, don’t forget adding a little present for the children or grandparents. Why don’t give a baby gift, like a teddy bear or baby clothes? Grandparents always like a basket with tea and biscuits.
Gifts are usually opened when received.
