The Significance of Gift-Giving During Chinese New Year
The thought behind a Chinese New Year gift matters more than its material value, as it is the gesture and intention that truly strengthen relationships. A gourmet hamper conveys well-wishes, gratitude and hope for prosperity in the new year.
In Chinese culture, gift exchanges during the New Year period symbolise the sharing of good fortune and prosperity. Traditionally, oranges, tangerines and red envelopes filled with money (hong bao) are presented to family members and close friends: oranges and tangerines represent abundance and happiness, while red envelopes symbolise good luck.
Our gift hampers are a thoughtful way to share in these customs, drawing on over 200 quality items. One note: we do not include perishable items like fresh flowers, fresh fruit or fresh cheese, because everything is built to travel safely across Australia, so add mandarins of your own if you are giving the hamper in person.
Red, representing luck, joy and happiness, dominates the festive palette, while gold signifies wealth and prosperity.
Tea, chocolate and a bottle of Australian wine all suit the occasion: something to share with visitors, something sweet for the year ahead and something to toast with. Each hamper arrives as a complete, generous gift.
Gift-giving during the New Year is also a way of nurturing relationships. The care that goes into a gift reflects the value placed on the relationship, which makes this an ideal opportunity for businesses to strengthen connections and for individuals to deepen personal bonds.
