Key facts for Romania
The Romanian Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas on 25 December; it is the main business gifting occasion.
How companies in Romania give year-end gifts
Romanian companies give Christmas gifts to clients and staff in December, and many employers also give food vouchers or a Christmas bonus. National Day on 1 December and Saint Nicholas on 6 December open the season, and gifts usually arrive by mid December. Common choices include chocolate, sweets, coffee, tea and branded practical items. On 1 March, Mărțișor tokens are given to women colleagues and partners, a widely observed workplace custom. Business relationships are personal, so a card signed by a named contact is appreciated. Cards should be in Romanian; English is accepted in multinationals.
