Thankfully, there are still many fantastic gifts to bring to your host.

What not to gift at Chinese New Year

There are several items you should never bring nor gift during Chinese New Year.

Avoid gifting sharp objects, such as knives, swords or scissors. They are a symbol of cutting off oneself from someone and ending the relationship.

Products that are homophones for “unlucky” Chinese words should also be noted. The homophones  for the Chinese words ‘umbrella’ and ‘pear’ connotates separation, whereas the one for ‘clock’ implies death. Therefore, none of these items are considered good candidates for Chinese New Year gifts.

Things associated with funerals and mourning are also a definite no-no, so white flowers and yellow chrysanthemums would not be a good Chinese New Year gift.
