Classic Chinese New Year Hamper
Let’s start with a timeless pick! Our Tastebuds Chinese New Year Hamper brings together festive favourites in vibrant red packaging that feels full of energy and optimism. Inside, you’ll find things like Lindor chocolates, Chinese lucky candy and a little bottle of Lanjiu baijiu — a classical spirit that’s often enjoyed during festive occasions.

This one’s brilliant if you want to show appreciation for the women in your life — your partner, mum, sister or best friend — with a gift that feels personal and luxe without being too over the top.
Gourmet Snacks for an Auspicious New Year
If the person you’re gifting loves good food as much as good fortune, our Gourmet Snacks for Chinese New Year Gift Hamper is a crowd-pleaser. Packed with artisan Australian snacks like quince paste, shortbread and olive oil, it gives a bit of local flavour with a celebratory twist.

A Few Tips for Gifting at Chinese New Year
Here are some little things to keep in mind to make your present extra meaningful:
Colour Counts
Red and gold are classic in Chinese New Year symbolism — they’re linked with joy and prosperity. Choosing hampers with these colours in the packaging adds a traditional festive touch that’s appreciated by many.
Personalise It
If you’ve got a specific person in mind, try adding extra treats like a favourite tipple, extra snacks or a handwritten card to make the hamper feel just right. Customising a hamper makes it feel more you.
Order Early
Chinese New Year is one of the busiest gifting times of the year. Ordering well ahead ensures your gift arrives on time, so the celebration isn’t overshadowed by delivery delays.
If you’re celebrating with family, sending a gift interstate, or want to show appreciation to clients or colleagues, our Chinese New Year hampers are a joyful way to send good luck, good cheer, and great taste. Each hamper is designed to bring a mix of flavour and festivity to the Year of the Tiger (or whichever sign is on the calendar) and make this special time even more enjoyable for your favourite people.
Here’s to a New Year full of prosperity, happiness and delicious moments!
