One of the best gifts to bring to your friends during Chinese New Year is the Mandarin oranges, “Kum” in Cantonese means gold, so it signifies bringing gold to your friends and wishing them prosperity for the year. You can present the Mandarin oranges in attractive traditional hand-painted bamboo basket. It should always be accompanied by the red packet, the traditional “hong bao” which contains money.
