Key facts for Liechtenstein
Christmas is the main occasion for business gifts, with a German-speaking advent tradition.
How companies in Liechtenstein give year-end gifts
Liechtenstein's business culture is close to that of German-speaking Switzerland and Austria: year-end gifts are sent in early December, advent calendars are well understood, and quality and discretion matter more than size. Many companies are in financial services and industry, with formal compliance rules, so modest, well-branded gifts are preferred. Cards are written in German with formal address. Because Liechtenstein is part of the Swiss customs area, shipments from the EU go through Swiss customs procedures.
