Welcome to Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), a Southeast Asian country that includes over 100 ethnic groups, and its borders run parallel with countries like India, China, Thailand, and Bangladesh. With an abundance of islands inhabited by ‘sea gypsies’ and city temples bedazzled in 72-carat diamonds, Myanmar has many unique characteristics. The local community lives by the Burmese zodiac (yes, they believe in star signs!) and speaks over 60 languages.
Sending a gift to this unique country will take more than closing your eyes and picking one. But don’t worry; we have all the gift advice you could need to send gifts to Myanmar. Scroll down to get more information on Myanmar’s local holiday traditions and gifting customs.

What our Customers Say about our Service in Myanmar and Worldwide
I had to send many Christmas presents to my Company's clients all over the world, and as I had no previous experience, I accidentally chose Giftbasketsoverseas. I was a bit worried about how things would go. However, from the very first contact with the manager, Katherine Moore, I felt relieved, as I understood that all my orders would be delivered in the best way possible. Our clients received their gift baskets on time and were very pleased and grateful. I highly recommend Giftbasketsoverseas as a reliable gift delivery partner for all your happy occasions. Personally, I will definitely return to them next time.

My stepson is being married over in Vietnamese and we wanted to send a gift to her parents. I did not have a clue how to do this and came across your website-very simple to use, choose the gift, include a card (written in Vietnamese) as her parents do not speak English. Great communication via email of progress, delivery of our gift- wonderful, highly recommended!
You can send gifts to your friends, family, and colleagues in Myanmar whenever you’d like. But, if you’re unsure of what to send, choosing a particular occasion can help you come up with better gift ideas. Myanmar has a calendar full of holidays that make for perfect gift-giving occasions! For your convenience, we have listed them below:
What Unique Holiday Traditions in Myanmar Should I Know About?
Myanmar has a deep culture of hospitality and openness. Many who visit are struck by the warm and welcoming nature of the locals, who are often keen to find out about different cultures and customs. Myanmarese people love to celebrate – whether participating in one of the country’s many festivals or simply enjoying a game of football. Everyone loves a joyous public gathering to lift their spirits. Here are a few ways they love to celebrate special holidays:
New Years — Myanmar begins the Buddhist New Year (around April 14-16) with a celebration called Thingyan, a multi-day celebration of prayers, offerings, traditional dance, parties, and, most unique of all, water! The sprinkling of water over one’s head is a metaphoric washing away of past evils — a custom that has evolved into full-fledged water fights with cannons, pistols, and buckets. Remember to send New Year gift baskets to your recipient in Myanmar in April too!
Christmas Day — Although most citizens are Buddhist, the celebration of Christmas in Myanmar is visible in almost every town. Christmas decorations are hung up on the first day of December, and children go from house to house singing Christmas carols in every town. Kids often receive gifts such as new clothes, and families attend a morning church service together. A dinner party commences in the evening when family and friends gather to eat, drink, and sing. Send a special Christmas gift basket to make the celebration memorable this year.
How are Birthdays Celebrated in Myanmar?
Birthdays in Myanmar are celebrated very differently from Western culture. Several cultures adhere to a birthday celebration that revolves around spoiling the birthday person. However, this isn’t the case in Myanmar. Birthdays are a time for the person celebrating to visit pagodas, offer donations, and treat friends and family to gifts and spoils. So, don’t be surprised if your recipient ends up sending you a gift! Of course, birthdays are very personal, and you know your recipient best. So, if you wish to send your recipient a birthday gift, we have a wide range of birthday gift baskets they will adore!
Are There Special Rules for Sending Business Gifts to Myanmar?
Forming a concrete relationship with your foreign business partner can easily be achieved through gift-giving. But, before you send it away, it’s vital that you learn about their gift-giving etiquette. In a Myanmarnese business setting, gifts may be given to show respect to your superiors, and it is something the people of this country call ‘gadaw.’ It is always best to avoid offering gifts of high value as this can be misinterpreted as a bribe.
Suitable business gifts for your business partner are items like shrink-wrapped hampers including various treats, coffee and tea gift baskets, and cheese gift baskets. If you really wish to impress them or close a deal, you can go all out with an electronic appliance like a blender or kitchen item. To avoid looking greedy, your recipient will often open their gift privately.

Quick Gift-Giving Tips for Myanmar
Bringing gifts from your home country is a great sign of respect and appreciation.
Gifts are seen as a sign of respect and should be accepted graciously.
If you give or get a gift in person, know it is considered polite to open the gift later, alone.
When visiting someone’s home make sure you bring a brightly wrapped gift.
Gifts should be of moderate value, as gifts that are too expensive can feel uncomfortable and make them difficult to accept.
