Gift Giving Etiquette

It is customary to offer a little present, such as flowers, chocolate, or a bottle of alcohol, when you are asked to someone's home for a meal, but it is not required. Similar to how visitors send tiny presents for the host of a celebration in Western society. Make sure you don't give an even amount of flowers when giving flowers to people, mainly women. Funerals typically feature bouquets with an even number of flowers.

It will be really appreciated if you bring some sweets for the kids if you visit a family with young children. When your Romanian friends give you a gift, it is customary to open it in front of your pals and express your gratitude. Traditionally, Romanians didn't send thank-you notes for presents or invites to specific occasions. They prefer to thank people in person.

Gifts are typically opened right away. If flowers are being given, they should add up to an odd number. Funerals are often symbolized by bouquets with an even number of flowers. A Romanian can offer to compensate you in exchange for their present or might politely decline to accept it. In this case, decline their offer and emphasize that it is a friendship-related gesture. When you go to someone's house or attend a dinner party, it's nice to bring a gift, such as flowers, chocolate, alcohol, or a gift for the kids.
