Israel: Gift Giving

From ExecutivePlanet.com

Gift Giving

Israelis are avid business gift aficionados and the Israeli promotion/incentive gift category is a thriving and energetic industry.

Visiting foreigners arriving in Israel bearing modest, well chosen, tasteful gifts will be appreciated for their kindness, courtesy and consideration. Israelis will question motives behind over the top items.

Guests visiting Israeli homes on social venues should bring chocolates, a bottle of wine or a bouquet of flowers. Handsome and modest gifts from a visitor’s home country are very appreciated since they serve as testament to the host’s “Global” acquaintances.
