Who sends Chinese New Year gift baskets, and why

For the auntie who hosts the reunion dinner, the business partner you've worked with all year, the neighbor who always brings over dumplings, or the parents you can't be with for the fifteen days of celebration, a food-and-drink basket lands the way a red envelope lands with kids: it says you thought about them, and it comes with something everyone at the table can enjoy. Red wine and gourmet truffles skew romantic and personal, so they suit a spouse, close friend, or an older family member. Wine paired with artisan cheese and crackers is the safe pick for a hostess gift when you're invited to someone's house for the New Year meal.

On the corporate side, this is one of the strongest client-appreciation windows of the year for firms doing business with Chinese-speaking partners in tech, real estate, finance, and manufacturing. The Gourmet Gifts handles volume orders with the same hand-packing standard as a single gift, and you can also send a corporate gift, choose a wine and cheese pairing, or build your own basket if you want to add extras for a specific recipient.

Common Questions

Chinese New Year Gift Basket FAQs

Are gift baskets an appropriate way to celebrate Chinese New Year?

Gift baskets are a warm, thoughtful way to mark the Lunar New Year, especially when they lean into abundance, sweetness, and sharing. A basket like the Perfect Pairings Gourmet Gift Basket brings together cheeses, chocolates, and crackers that suit family gatherings and reunion dinners. If you're gifting a business contact, our gourmet gift baskets collection has options that feel refined without leaning on any single cultural tradition.

What kind of treats work best for a Lunar New Year gift?

The Gourmet Gifts leans into sweet, celebratory flavors that translate well across the holiday, chocolates, truffles, cookies, and gourmet snacks meant for sharing. The World's Finest Belgian Indulgence is a strong pick, packing Belgian chocolates, truffles, candy, and fudge into one showpiece. Browse our chocolate gift baskets if you want to lead with sweets.

When should I place my order to receive it before the New Year celebration?

Next-day delivery anywhere in the USA is available at checkout, so even orders placed close to the date can arrive in time. You'll pick your preferred delivery date at checkout, which means you can line it up with the reunion dinner or the first day of the festival. For last-minute picks that ship fast, our best sellers are the safe bet.

Can I upgrade an item in the basket to something nicer?

You can upgrade individual items to a higher-priced alternative by paying the price difference, and you can add extras on top. Items can't be removed or downgraded, but if you want a completely different lineup, our build your own basket option lets you handpick every piece from scratch. This works well when you want to lean heavier on chocolates, wine, or gourmet snacks for a specific recipient.

How is a wine basket packaged so the bottle arrives safely?

Baskets like the Amanti Red & Cheese Indulgence travel in protective packaging built around the bottle so nothing shifts in transit. An adult 21 or older must be present to sign for any basket with alcohol, with government-issued photo ID required at delivery, and alcohol delivery availability is confirmed at checkout based on the destination. See more pairings in our wine gift baskets collection.

Is a gift basket appropriate for business contacts and clients during the holiday?

The Gourmet Gifts is trusted by corporate clients for exactly this kind of gesture, sending something generous and celebratory to clients, partners, and employees during the Lunar New Year window. Baskets with premium chocolates, wine, or gourmet snacks read as thoughtful without being overly personal. Our thank you gift baskets collection is a strong starting point for client-facing gifts.

Do you offer tracking so I know when the basket arrives?

Tracking is sent the moment your basket ships, so you can follow it right up to the recipient's door. You'll also pick your preferred delivery date at checkout, which is helpful when you're coordinating around a reunion dinner or family visit. If you're sending something more romantic for a partner during the celebration, our romantic gift baskets pair nicely with the occasion.

I'm sending baskets to several colleagues, can you handle a larger order?

For a run of baskets going to a team, clients, or a partner list, we have a bulk order sheet you can grab from our bulk order form page. You fill in the recipient details and quantities, email it back to the address printed on the form, and our team handles the rest, including scheduled delivery dates for each address. Every basket is still hand-assembled individually, even in bulk, no factory line.
