Key facts for Fiji
Christmas is the main year-end occasion, in a multi-faith calendar that also includes Diwali.
How companies in Fiji give year-end gifts
Fiji's business community reflects its iTaukei and Indo-Fijian populations, and both Christmas and Diwali are public holidays, so many companies mark both. Christmas is the main time for staff parties and hampers; client gifts are typically food, branded items and modest gifts with an English card. Diwali gifts of sweets are common among Indo-Fijian businesses. 'Season's Greetings' works well for mixed teams. Tourism, retail and regional organizations based in Suva are key corporate buyers. December is hot and humid, and biosecurity checks apply to imported food and packaging. Deliveries outside Suva and Nadi, and to outer islands, take longer and may need local forwarding. For staff, shared office items such as advent calendars or decorations are a practical alternative to individual hampers.

Delivery to Fiji
Imports clear Fijian customs and biosecurity with duties and VAT; the EU–Pacific Economic Partnership Agreement can reduce duties on EU-origin goods. December is summer here, so chocolate needs fast transit and should not sit in hot depots; tea, plush, baubles and empty calendars travel more safely.
