Online shops offering prosperity baskets with Chinese New Year essentials for delivery
Last-minute shopping for your Chinese New Year celebration at home?
Just a month after welcoming 2022, many families would again gather to welcome the Lunar New Year. Aside from some good food for the feast, “lucky” fruits are also believed to attract good fortune for the year ahead. Like the scrumptious dishes, certain fruits—particularly the round ones—symbolize auspicious things such as wealth, safety, abundance, and happiness.
If you’re still on the hunt for some “lucky” produce for your CNY affair, read on for a list of Instagram shops that are offering prosperity baskets for delivery, with some even including essentials you can use to welcome the Year of the Water Tiger.
Happy Fruits has two different bundles for CNY. Its Prosperity Basket (P1,300) contains Fuji apples, oranges, ponkiat, ingot money bar, water tiger lucky charm, and angpao, while its Golden Fortune Fruit Basket (P2,500) has Vietnamese pomelo, banana, pineapple, fuji apple, grapes, orange, as well as ingot money bar, water tiger lucky charm, water tiger coin bank, and angpao.
Love oranges? They’re perfect for Chinese New Year for their round shape, too, which symbolizes money. Fruit Corp is selling them in a box designed for the occasion. The mandarin gift box, available in 12 and 14 pieces, starts at P700.
You can also check out Fruteria’s prosperity box, which is available for delivery until Jan. 31. Priced at P1,500, it has eight lucky round fruits completed with chocolate coins, tikoy, and angpao.
Already have your Lunar New Year essentials? You may opt for Fruit Loot’s fortune basket, which has cherries, kiats, red grapes, longans, persimmon, green apple, red apple, fuji apple, century pear, Korean pear, pomelo, green kiwi, and navel orange. Each package is priced at only P1,600.
