Chinese New Year Hamper Essentials 2021

If you are the host of a Chinese New Year party this year, you may be a little overwhelmed by all the things you need to do. From food and decor to clothes and what blessings to say, there are quite a few rules to remember. It's no wonder that hosts can feel the pressure, even amidst the joyfulness of the occasion.

To save you from being swamped by your workload and preparations, our team of experts here at Gift Hampers Macau is more than happy to give you the guidance you need and allow the party to go smoothly as planned.

How to host a Chinese New Year party

It may have been a while since you've seen some family members, or maybe you get to see them on a regular basis. Regardless, you'd want to host a party they will remember, and to make them feel special during their stay.

In preparation, the tradition is to have the place cleaned beforehand and well-decorated. You may choose to purchase fresh flowers to welcome in the spring or other Chinese New Year plants that will give the home a festive vibe. Sticking up red posters with well-wishes upon them will certainly add to the spirit of celebration.

Wearing red clothes, Chinese-styled clothes or new clothes is a must, especially for a host. Don’t forget to open the door with a smile and greet your guests with a wonderful Chinese New Year blessing.

As for the well-wishes themselves, different well-wishes mean different things. Wishing the elderly good health and longevity and wishing relatives and friends success and prosperity is common.

Traditional Chinese New Year food is an auspicious choice. It generally includes an entire fish for prosperity, dumplings for wealth, a whole chicken for togetherness, spring rolls to welcome the season of spring, and noodles for longevity. Snacks and sweet treats are very common too as they bring ‘sweetness’ into our new year. Nian gao, tang yuan, fruit and candy are all great gourmet choices to bring to the table.
