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!

This is my 3rd order for baskets. Love them and my gift receivers also love the gifts. Only thing I'd love to see are maybe smaller less expensive baskets for small gifts.
The website was easy to order from, the delivery (same day) was fast, and the basket and flowers exceeded our expectations.
I sent this basket as a gift to family members. They are in awe of how beautiful the basket is and are loving the different treats!
I order regularly and love this service.
Good customer service, smooth delivery, nice gift
Hassle free ordering and delivery.
So happy I got to place an order on this website quickly for my daughter’s birthday. Same-day delivery as promised, highly recommended.

Everything was great. My friends loved the basket and sent me a picture. It was perfect. Great service and was delivered on time.
Thank you so much.
Ordered the Classic Wine Gift Box for my girlfriend, who said it was lovely…it arrived the same day as ordered and was not damaged. So in my mind, this was a good gift and I gave it 5 stars for variety and quickness of delivery.
The order arrived on time and was nicely presented!
