  • If you were invited to a Norwegian's home, bring flowers, chocolates, pastries, wine, or imported spirits to the hostess .And it's smiler to Emirate's home, it's okay if you come to Emirate's home without anything but it's good idea to come with any thing simple like chocolates or pastry.

  •  Flowers may be sent the morning of a dinner party so they may be displayed that evening.
     

  •  Do not give carnations, lilies or white flowers as they are used at funerals.
     

  • Do not give wreaths, even at Christmas ( for a funeral only). Traditional perfume is the gift most appreciated by Emirates..
     

  • Do not give even numbers of flowers. Unlike the Emirates its normal to give any kind of flowers and number is not important.
     

  • A houseplant is well received in the winter months.
     

  • Gifts are opened when received.
     

  • If you were invited to a dinner party, it would be a good idea to send flowers to the host the day of the dinner party. Like in the UAE, Emirates invited to dinner party or gathering they have to take a small gift with them because here we do not like to go to anyone's home with empty hands.
     

  • Gifts are normally not exchanged at business meetings, but small gifts may be appropriate at the successful conclusion of negotiations. like in UAE giving presents is usual, either during the rest contact or when closing a deal.
     

  • Keep gifts small. An expensive gift may be viewed as a bribe. On the other hand, in the UAE people like to give others a expensive gifts and it's not viewed as a bribe.
