GIFT GIVING IN SOUTH
AFRICA*- Gift Giving Etiquette
BUSINESS GIFT GIVING /
PERSONAL GIFT GIVING
-
After you have
developed a business relationship, a small yet thoughtful gift for your
business associates or their families will be greatly appreciated.
Personalized gifts are the best. For example, a high quality pen, desk
accessory, or a dozen golf balls with the recipient's name and company logo
printed on them will be much appreciated.
-
Always arrive at a
dinner party with a gift. Lavish gifts aren't expected, but flowers,
chocolates, or a good bottle of wine will be appreciated.
-
Frequently, larger
organizations will offer to send a driver to your hotel to pick you up, or
to take you back afterward. When possible, sit in the back seat. Tipping
isn't required, but a gift, such as a company pen, would be a thoughtful
gesture.
