What Unique Holiday Traditions in Costa Rica Should I Know About?

Costa Rica experiences year-round festivities that allow locals to celebrate their heritage. There is always a reason to celebrate from weekly carnivals to Christmas Day. And that means that there’s always a reason to send a gift! Have a look at these Costa Rican holidays below and how you can make it even more special by sending a gift:


  • Carnival — This holiday commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus on the Caribbean coast in 1502. It is a vibrant and colorful 12-day celebration of Costa Rican Afro-Caribbean Culture. The event includes parades with street dances, colorful costumes, Caribbean food, and open-air performances. A few dishes one would find are sweet and spicy Jerk Chicken, Rondón, which is a hearty fish stew, and Patís (a savory baked empanada).
     

    Ensure your recipient starts this festive occasion with their favorite bottle of liquor! Find their drink of choice in our Spirits catalog.
     

  • Christmas — Christmas in Costa Rica is more than just trees with gifts placed underneath. At this time of year, rodes, fiestas, and parades fill up the streets for an entire week before the big day. Families partake in the main feast on Christmas Eve before attending Midnight Mass. This evening meal includes tamales, tender roasted pork legs, and rum-spiced eggnog! Christmas Day is a break from all the days of celebration and is spent opening gifts with family. Shop our range of Christmas gifts to Costa Rica and make it a holiday your recipient will never forget.


How are Birthdays Celebrated in Costa Rica?

Birthdays in Costa Rica are celebrated in the “typical” fashion of family and friends coming over with presents to enjoy games, good food, and delicious cake. However, the 15th birthday for girls are different because Costa Rica is one of the many countries that celebrate quinceaneras.
 

A quinceanera represents when a girl transitions from a child into a woman. The girl, her family, and her godparents begin by attending mass before the major celebration. The main event is often packed with relatives and as many guests as the venue allows; the more, the merrier! Aside from the crowds, the venue is jam-packed with music, food, and dancing. A night full of symbolic behaviors, such as the birthday girl switching from flats to heels to symbolize the passage of time. The coordinated waltz-style dance, cake-cutting, and lavish toasts are the highlights of the evening.
 

Add to the festivities by sending something special to Costa Rica! Choose from our endless birthday gift basket options.


Are There Special Rules for Sending Business Gifts to Costa Rica?

Before sending a business gift to a country you’re unfamiliar with, it’s critical to understand all of the ins and outs. In Costa Rica, gifts are common in the business world. Quality is of extreme importance, so gifts should not be frugal. Good gifts to send are wine and chocolates, as they are an easy-tell on quality.
 

Thank you notes are highly valued here. Be sure to include one every chance you get. You can send one on its own, or pair it with a gift after a successful negotiation.


What to Avoid When Sending Business Gifts to Costa Rica

  • Never wrap gifts in purple or black as they have negative connotations.
  • When presenting a gift from a male to a female, be very clear to avoid any misunderstanding. Perhaps, even go as far as to say the gift is on behalf of a female business associate of yours or a female partner.
  • Considering the exports of Costa Rica, gifting coffee or fruits is seen as offensive.


What are the Best Romantic Gifts to Send to Costa Rica?

Thinking about sending a romantic gift to that special someone in Costa Rica? Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or even New Year’s are all splendid occasions to send them something memorable. However, you don’t always need a special occasion to offer your loved one a gift! Keep the spark alive, or make them feel closer to you by sending something special their way.
 

Consider surprising them with a magnificent box of chocolates they may enjoy with their favorite show after a long day. Or, send them a flower arrangement to savor and display on their table instead. Or, send both! Whichever romantic gift you choose, we suggest adding a personal touch with a handwritten letter. Your loved one in Costa Rica will appreciate and always remember the effort.
 

If you need more advice about romantic gifting, our gift experts are available 24/7. So, call on us anytime! And we’ll assist you with your every gifting need.


What are the Most Popular Things to Send to Costa Rica?

Coffee is a big deal in Costa Rica. And, although it’s not the ideal gift to send, coffee mugs most certainly are! Most Costa Ricans also enjoy sharing a drink with friends and family, often indulging in popular local drinks such as Ron Centenario and Cacique. However, if you can’t get your hands on these, Johnnie Walker and Bailey’s Irish Cream are great substitutes.
 

The women of this country love perfume, essential oils, and scarves, while the men enjoy ball caps, mobile phone accessories, and casual t-shirts.


How to Write the Address for Delivery to Costa Rica

Writing an address for delivery to Costa Rica can be tricky. Because few cities outside of San Jose have street names, you must always include a telephone number when placing an order. In the areas where street names aren’t available, addresses are described using local landmarks.
 

The parts included in a Costa Rican address are:

  • Recipient’s full name
  • House number and street or description of the house location
  • Province, canton, and district
  • Postcode and country
     

So a complete address may look something like this:

John Smith
House 104 — 50m west of Tony’s Gas Station, blue house
San Jose, Escazu, San Rafael
10203 — Costa Rica

Be sure to include the recipient’s local phone number, as it will be necessary to help couriers find homes in smaller towns.


Other Gift-Giving Etiquette I Should Know?

  • Quality is extremely important when sending gifts to Costa Rica.
  • Wine and chocolate are good business gifts as they are an easy-tell on quality.
  • Always send your recipient a thank you note, especially in a business setting.
  • Coffee mugs and liquor also make great gifts.
  • Avoid wrapping gifts in black or purple, as these colors have a negative connotation.
  • When sending a gift from a male to a female, it’s best to say the gift is on behalf of another female.
  • Gifting coffee or fruit is seen as offensive.
