Giving Away Chinese New Year Cookies

broken image

Do you know that during the annual Chinese New Year festival, there are Chinese New Year cookies that can be given as gifts? They can be important and gratifying to your friends and loved ones, despite the fact that they are rather distinctive and rare gift ideas. Instead of the traditional Chinese New Year gifts like Mandarin oranges and red letter packets holding money (ang pows), some wonderful gift ideas for 2018 Chinese New Year include the best Chinese New Year snacks.

In the contemporary fashion, some Chinese New Year cookies are delivered as gift boxes or corporate hampers. The gift boxes are usually made of aluminium metal and look similar to the ones given out at other Chinese Mooncake Festivals. Many modern bakeries that specialise in Chinese New Year treats sell such packages to the general public. They lavishly embellish their exteriors to make them appealing, while maintaining the typical good old taste of Chinese New Year treats.

Bread Garden is one of the bakeries in Singapore that does this, with a Prosperity Gift Set containing the most popular Chinese New Year treats. It includes the Premium Pineapple Tart, perhaps Singapore's best pineapple tart, as well as Macadamia Buttery Cookies, Mala Cookies, Spicy Shrimp Roll, and Old School and Brownie Almond Cookies, among other Chinese New Year treats. They are separately contained in metal cases with complex decorations before being placed all together in a larger metal gift box casing with a strikingly sumptuous appearance. This Prosperity Gift Set comprises a mix of traditional and modern contemporary settings, with a well-rounded design that illustrates the concept of love and riches.

The corporate hamper is the other most prevalent type of Chinese New Year gift box. During business meetings, corporations typically provide hampers to other corporations or business associates. They are usually given away as prizes during lucky draw presentations at Chinese New Year gatherings. During the first and second days of visitations, any lucky winner of the hamper can use up enough Chinese New Year treats for their own large gathering of friends and relatives. The contents of the hamper are more than enough to share.

These limited-edition Chinese New Year cookie baskets are typically valued at well over $100 and are manufactured specifically for this annual special occasion. Many staples are usually included in the hampers, such as love letter cookies, almond cookies, chocolate cookies, Mandarin oranges, and pineapple tarts. These Chinese New Year cookie baskets make excellent gifts for friends and family.
