Are There Unique Holiday Traditions in Australia I Should Know About?

  • Since Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, Christmas is in summer. That means holiday parties can happen at the beach, Santa wears a swimsuit, and children leave him cool, refreshing drinks instead of milk and cookies. Looking up at Santa in a swimsuit will give you a giggle, and is worth the search. Go on. We insist.

  • Anzac Biscuits are one of Australia’s most beloved sweets. Delicious rolled oat biscuits made only with oats, sugar, flour, butter and golden syrup, these cookies have achieved legendary status among Australians. They became popular in care packages from wives to their husbands during WWI, and are widely available in supermarkets today.

  • Although it’s not a holiday, Muck Up Day is a fun Australian tradition that gives high school students a day to blow off steam before graduation. Marked by a senior day of fun and harmless pranks, in many locations, Muck-up day is a bit like a carnival at school for the places that allow it. It’s the perfect time to send a graduation gift to Australia.

  • Australians aren’t joking when they talk about barbeque as a ‘National Sport’. Australia’s stunning summer weather, amazing coastlines, and abundance of grillable foods are an ideal combination for some of the tastiest fun you can have outdoors. Barbecue competitions are popular, and family dinners at Christmas are likely to include barbecue making any gift that supports your loved one’s grill-mastering hobby a good one.

  • For Australians, the Boxing Day Test Match may be something akin to the American’s Super Bowl. The day after Christmas is the perfect day for delicious leftovers, cracking open a few beers, and enjoying one of the most exciting cricket events of the year.


Are There Unique Holiday Traditions in Australia I Should Know About?

Birthdays in Australia are much like birthdays in the USA or England. You greet the birthday-person with ‘Happy Birthday’, it’s common to make their favorite meal or celebrate at their favorite restaurant if you’re together. And, of course, it’s a good idea to send birthday gifts to friends in Australia.
 

There are two notable, very Australian birthday traditions though. The first is a uniquely Australian sweet called Fairy Bread. Every Australian child is familiar with this colorful birthday treat that consists of buttered white bread covered in rainbow sprinkles, or — as they call them in Australia — 100s and 1000s.
 

The other birthday tradition isn’t quite as universal as fairy bread. But in some places in Australia, folks sing a haunting little addition to the well-known Happy Birthday song that goes like this:
 
“Happy birthday, happy birthday, Happy birthday to you!
Why were you born so beautiful, why were you born at all?
Because you had no say in it, no say in it at all.”

 

Save your loved ones from that odd ditty being the final word on their special day, and send birthday gifts to Australia with a more light-hearted greeting.


Essential Etiquette Tips for Corporate Gifts in Australia

If you plan to send corporate gifts to Australia, it helps to know a few things. First, Australians tend to value punctuality, modesty, and honesty. So, send gifts to people you genuinely have a good relationship with, order them timely, and don’t go overboard. Remember, in Australia, gifts for business associates are generally not expected, although they are considered a kind gesture — so long as the gift doesn’t seem like a bribe.


What Romantic Gifts Should I Send to my boyfriend or girlfriend in Australia?

When it comes to sending romantic gifts to Australia or anywhere in the world, we all know it’s the thought that counts, and this is even more true for the people in Australia. Whether you decide to shower her with a mountain of chocolates, or send him all his favorite gourmet foods, they’re going to remember it most when you send it with your love.
 

Keep in mind, flowers are always a good choice!


When is the Right Time to Send Chocolates to Australia?

This question is particularly relevant if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. For you, winter happens during December, January, and March approximately. But in Australia, and other places in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the exact opposite. That means Christmas happens in summer in Australia.
 

It also means that it’s really hot in some regions in Australia around Christmas. It’s good to remember that even with the best precautions, it is possible for chocolates to melt during the hottest times of the year. Make sure to check the weather before ordering chocolates to Australia.

How to Write the Address for Delivery to Australia

Preparing to write an Australian delivery address is quick and easy. The biggest change in the address format compared to some other countries you may be familiar with is the placement of the suite or apartment number. Take care to write the information in the following order:

  • Recipient name
  • Business name (if applicable)
  • Suite or apartment number (if applicable)
  • Building number and street name
  • Town or suburb, state abbreviation, and 4-digit postal code (preferably in all capitals)
  • Country
     

A complete address to Australia will look something like this:

Andrew Johnson
Apartment 12
124 North Pine Road
BRISBANE QLD 4000
AUSTRALIA


Other gift etiquette points to remember

  • In general, business gift-giving is not a normal practice in Australia.

  • Flowers and Chocolates are great for giving, just keep in mind the time of year in which you are sending chocolates.

  • Australians prefer a thoughtful gift over a lavish one, so make sure to put effort into your gift, instead of wondering how much to spend.

  • Gifts of wine are highly encouraged for barbeque style celebrations.

  • Gift Baskets are called Gift Hampers in Australia.

  • Business gifts are usually given for gratitude purposes or to celebrate accomplishments.
