The Year of the Tiger is just around the corner, and if you’re wondering what to get your nearest and dearest, look no further than here as we recommend these gift sets from Unbox’s ‘Fuyoh’ series. Breaking away from conventional hampers, these gift sets are great conversation starters, even with your elders. Instead of having to deal with questions that you’re dreading, these gift sets will help everyone start the day off on a positive note as you and your loved ones look back on the beautiful memories from the past. To make these gifts extra special, you can even get the recipient’s name engraved on a wooden tag with an attached Oriental knot. Check out the four options for you to consider from this series:
1. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Nutrients
Spending CNY at Ah Ma’s house this year? Then get her this gift box as a reminder that her health is wealth! Replicating the image of a traditional herbal shop that you used to visit when you were growing up, the ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Nutrients’ set comes in the form of an antique medicinal wooden cupboard. Each drawer contains traditional ingredients that have been specially curated by famous Chinese dealer, Chai Huat Hin. This box will not only put a smile on grandma’s face, but she’ll be more than thankful to you for placing her health as top priority!
‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Nutrients’ retails at RM378.
2. New Beng Chai Hong
Remember the snacks that you used to indulge in when you were young, which are also great for a movie night with your friends? Well, you can now enjoy them all over again, thanks to this set! The hand-illustrated cardboard carrier is filled with biscuit tins that contain peanut candies from Ipoh’s Ching Han Guan and Pineapple tarts from Wise Chef in Malacca. On the bright side, the recipient will be able to reuse this carrier and pass it on as a gift with different contents to others in the future too! #sustainabilityftw
‘New Beng Chai Hong’ retails at RM118.
3. Spin. Tigers. Spin
CNY isn’t complete without bak kwa, and to make things more interesting this year, why not let Lady Luck decide which flavour you should be indulging in throughout the day? This set that comes in a stylish wooden case with a spinning wheel is filled with 50 pieces of bak kwa from Bak-Off by Oloiya and there are 10 flavours for you to choose from, namely Bak Kut Teh, Black Pepper, Chili Sambal, Curry, Garlic, Nasi Lemak, Salted Egg, Spicy Szechuan, Tom Yam and Tomato. PS Gifting this to your buddy who’s a foodie is a great idea as you can also ride on the fun and get a few pieces for yourself!
‘Spin. Tigers. Spin’ retails at RM178.
4. Young at Heart
Here’s a reminder for yourself as well as others that age is just a number, and what matters most is that everyone remains young at heart! Presented in a retro wooden ‘Bingo Lotto’ packaging, you can spin the handle to see which ball comes rolling out, as each one is filled with some of your favourite childhood treats – from White Rabbit candies to Collins Butter Nut, Great Monster, Haw Flakes, Lemon Tablets, Sugus and Torrone Cool Mints. At the bottom of the set is a box of games including Lompat Getah, Pick Up Sticks, Retro Card Games and other fun items such as soap bubble, stick bubble and even a Tiger Balm! How cool is that?!
‘Young at Heart’ retails at RM218.
