Najważniejsze fakty: Austria
Christmas is the central business gifting occasion, with a strong advent tradition.
Kultura prezentów na koniec roku: Austria
Austria shares the German-speaking advent culture: advent calendars, Nikolaus treats on 6 December and Christmas gifts are all familiar in a business setting. Companies typically send client gifts in early to mid December, before the office Christmas party (Weihnachtsfeier) and before the holiday period, which in practice starts on 24 December and runs through 6 January for many firms. Gifts to employees are often given at the Christmas party or as a non-cash gift to all staff, which keeps them within the annual tax-free allowance for staff gifts. For clients, branded gifts with a clear advertising character are the norm, and quality food products such as chocolate, tea and coffee are popular. Card texts are usually in German with formal address; Austrian wording such as 'Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes neues Jahr' is preferred. Note that 8 December is a public holiday, so plan deliveries around it.
