Like anyone in the world Russian people like gifts. Probably, even more than any other nation. In Russia they give presents to each other for almost any occasion, regardless of the person’s age, position, social status, or other circumstances. Not giving a present when there is an appropriate occasion for it can even be considered rude in some cases. So it is common that adults exchange presents for Christmas (even though it is a children’s holiday). And they never come to a birthday party without a gift.
Therefore sending a gift for your girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s birthday in Russia is a good idea. You can simply ship something by yourself, but there are also other options that you can use.
Nowadays international gift delivery made it possible to send someone a present without leaving the house. There are many sites that offer international gift delivery to Russia. However, if you try to pick one, look for the ones that are located in Russia – this way the delivery will be faster and no taxes will be applied. In that respect it is also a great option if you are not sure that you can type right the address in Cyrillic alphabet. You can contact the company that offers international gift delivery to Russia and they gladly will help you with that issue. Most sites can deliver such gifts as soft toys, candy, souvenirs, inexpensive jewelry, etc.
Another good present is flowers. However, never send flowers to your Russian boyfriend, as in Russia it is absolutely unacceptable. In terms of flower delivery Moscow has the best options than any other city in Russia. One can say that if your Russian girlfriend wants flowers for her birthday she’d better live in that city because when it comes to flower delivery Moscow offers good variety and service while other cities rarely even have this option. Besides if you order flower delivery Moscow companies are more likely to have different payment options and express delivery.
Sending a gift to Russia is not that difficult as it seems if you use online services. Such sites are even more useful if you need to send it at the last moment when you suddenly remember that it is her or his birthday tomorrow. Try to send the gift as soon as possible, as depending on your location in Moscow it may already be the next day. Do not forget to attach a personal note, because your words can be a nice complement to the present itself. In Russia receiving a gift delivered to your threshold is something very new and unusual because this business has just started developing there and many people do not know about it. Therefore, such a present will be appreciated and will speak a thousand words for you.
