What is Chinese New Year?
Did you know that the start of a new moon falls on the 25th of January this year?
In other words, Chinese New Year is approaching! This festival is the most important celebration in China. The Chinese tradition dedicates a year to one of the twelve animals from the Chinese Zodiac:
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
The year 2020 is dedicated to the first animal in the Zodiac, the Rat!
Do you know why the Rat is first? In Chinese mythology, twelve animals were selected to compete in a race. The Rat tricked the Ox to let it ride on its back. When the Ox was close to the finish line, the rat jumped ahead and became the first one to complete the race.
How is it celebrated?
Specific dishes are eaten to bring good luck for the coming year. Dishes like dumplings, fish, Tangyuen (Glutinous sesame rice balls), Niangao (Glutinous rice cakes), Fruits (tangerines and oranges), and Longevity noodles.
When this festival arrives, you will be surrounded by the color red. Wearing red and decorating with this color is believed to bring you good luck and fortune.
Red envelopes are given to children and retirees which are also believed to bring good luck!

Birthday Flowers With Chocolate and Teddy
Delivered on time, and the packaging looked awesome
The basket was beautiful, arrived on time and the sales representative was very pleasant and extremely helpful! This is my favourite gift basket company! I’d highly recommend My Baskets, they are simply the best!
A U.K. customer used an AI agent to find local florists in Kitchener and Waterloo, (Canada), and My Baskets was recommended. Ordering was easy, and delivery was on time. The recipient loved the gift and was pleasantly surprised. They video called the sender and showed them the combo - the sender was very happy with the purchase.
The recipient suggested that delivery to include a knock or notification, as the gift was left at the door. Also in addition to this combo, recommend offering gift combinations with a slightly more savoury option.
It was for friends I don’t see but they were delighted with the delivery!
Lovely basket filled with delightful treats.
Present like offering and excellent processing of my order!
