What kind of gift should I give to my elders on New Year’s Day?

1. You can give health food as a gift <br /> Parents and elders have worked hard for most of their lives, but they are reluctant to buy some health food for themselves to nourish themselves. Therefore, it is a very good choice for us to choose to send health food.
2. Send warming items as gifts <br /> Because New Year's Day is in winter, it is a good idea to send warming items as gifts. In the cold winter, parents and the elderly cannot withstand the weather, so keeping warm is very important. A thermal underwear and a pair of infrared thermal pants replace bulky cotton coats and pants, keeping your parents and elders warm and touched, making you their intimate "little cotton-padded jacket".
3. You can give a tea gift box <br /> Generally, elders like to drink tea very much, so we can also give a tea gift box. The tea cakes printed with blessings and decorated with Chinese knots perfectly combine Chinese tea culture with traditional Spring Festival culture. It is very thoughtful and innovative to give it to parents.
4. You can give away electronic products <br /> Don’t get me wrong, these electronic products are not computers or mobile phones. It's an electronic blood pressure monitor. Winter is the peak season for various chronic diseases. Giving an electronic blood pressure monitor allows the elderly to check their health status at any time. Or you can get a humidifier to prevent asthma and purify the air. Give a home treadmill so that the elderly can exercise without leaving home. These high-tech electronic products can somewhat make up for your regret of not being able to accompany your parents and elders.

What are the do’s and don’ts for giving gifts on New Year’s Day 2021?

1. Fruit Dos and Don’ts <br /> Giving fruit as a gift is both practical and beautiful, but not all fruits are suitable for giving as a gift. Apples symbolize peace and can be given to almost anyone; peaches are known as longevity peaches and are suitable for giving to the elderly; bananas, as their homonym for “intersection”, are good for interpersonal relationships and are suitable for giving to friends and family. But some fruits are not suitable, especially pears, because "pear" is homophonic with "separation" (parting), which makes it inappropriate to give to couples or lovers.
2. There are several kinds of flowers and green plants that cannot be given as gifts <br /> As the concept of green living has become more popular, green plants and flowers have become the choice of many people as gifts, especially when moving into a new house, celebrating festivals, or visiting patients. However, green plants with many thorns, such as cacti, have the potential to attract villains and trouble from the perspective of feng shui, and are not suitable as gifts. Giving chrysanthemums as gifts is a big taboo because people think chrysanthemums are used to commemorate the deceased.
3. Hats are not suitable for gifting to almost everyone . <br /> Perhaps there were too many bad sayings about hats in the old days, such as mourning hats (descendants of deceased elders should wear mourning hats, indicating that there is a funeral in the family), sorrow hats, green hats (a common saying refers to a wife having an affair or cheating on someone, and saying that a man is green is considered the greatest insult to a person), etc. Therefore, even if the "management hat" implies official career, it cannot dilute the customary taboo that hats are not suitable as gifts.
4. Do’s and Don’ts about Clocks <br /> When giving gifts to elders or elderly people, it is most taboo to give clocks. Chinese people attach importance to homophony and like to use pleasing words. Because the word "Zhong" sounds the same as "end", it is a taboo in gift giving. Especially when giving gifts to elders or elderly people, you should never give a clock, so as not to make people associate it with "sending off the end of life" and mistakenly think it is a curse on the elderly.
