1. What makes a good Chinese New Year gift?
A good CNY gift is one that conveys well-wishes and positive energy. Popular choices include food hampers, candles, teas, or wellness sets that symbolise abundance and renewal. At Innerfyre Co, our gifts are designed to inspire warmth, calm, and prosperity through meaningful scents and affirmations.
2. What should I avoid giving during Chinese New Year?
Traditionally, items like clocks, sharp objects, or anything in white or black wrapping are considered inauspicious. Itβs also best to avoid gifts in sets of four, as the number sounds like βdeathβ in Chinese. Instead, choose gifts in pairs or eights, which symbolise good luck and fortune.
3. Does Innerfyre Co offer same-day delivery for Chinese New Year gifts?
Yes, we offer same-day delivery across Singapore for orders placed before our daily cut-off time. However, during the CNY season, courier demand can be high, so we recommend placing your order early to ensure timely delivery for your festive celebrations.
