Chinese new year

Boom Boom

Hi Folks

not sure if this is the right section so mods feel free to move


Chinese new year is this weekend and I work with two lovely chinese women who gave me presents at christmas and like a chump had nothing for them:o:o


I was wondering does anyone know what would be an appropriate present to give for the chinese new year, I believe that this is like their christmas where they meet family and friends and exchange gifts.

Anyone any ideas and where I would get them.

thanks

According to the ever reliable wikipedia:

small gifts (usually of food or sweets) are also exchanged between friends or relatives (of different households) during Chinese New Year. Gifts are usually brought when visiting friends or relatives at their homes. Common gifts include fruits (typically oranges, and never pears), cakes, biscuits, chocolates, candies, or some other small gift.[6]

So whatever you get, make sure NO PEARS!!!

Nice to be thoughtful. I would suggest a calendar. Usually bright and decorative, with the animal of the year etc, and chinese dates of interest etc. I would think you could get one in the Asian Markets, probably around Mary Street.
