16 Chinese New Year Gifts That Will Make Your Asian Parents Be Proud of You For Once

“I am proud of you” is perhaps one of the least said phrases in mandarin-speaking culture. In fact, growing up in a Taiwanese family, I have not heard these five words together since I started going to school in elementary. This year’s Chinese’s New Year, our goal is to share these 17 products that you can easily get on Amazon for your parents to (perhaps not yet ready to say these 5 words to you but) give you a nod of approval being their good daughter/son.  

Tea Set

There’s a saying in China: “To respect the tea, you must complement the tea with the most equipped tea set”. With that, you have to check the two most exquisite tea sets we have compared and selected for you.

Tea Set

The Chinese Porcelain Kung Fu Tea Set contains a package of 6 tea cups, one tea pot, one tea strainer, and one justice cup. The tea set is made of high-quality pottery clay by hand and traditional craftsmanship, glazed inside and outside, smooth and easy to clean. This is the perfect gift for anyone that is obsessed with oriental tea culture and wants to practice traditional chinese tea etiquette.

The Fanquare Chinese Black Ceramic Kung Fu Tea Set is a Porcelain tea set from Chao Zhou. If you didn’t know, Chao Zhou Ceramics is one of the top traditional porcelain crafts in Guangdong Province and has a long history in manufacturing Chinese Tea Set. Porcelain’s structure makes the most delicate work possible so the walls of the teapots tend to be thinner, making them lighter than most ceramic teapots. If you are someone who loves tea, this black porcelain tea set is the way to go.

Tea Box

To gift a good tea is like gifting good health. Not only can tea boost the immune system, fight off inflammation, but it can also help ward off cancer and heart disease. Without saying more, you know what to do.

Tea Fort

The Tea Forte Tea Chest with 40 Handcrafted Pyramid Tea Infusers is just as fancy as its name. Exquisite as it sounds, it has a close to perfect rating with thousands of good reviews from across the world.

Da Hong Pao

Some people really do be paying $80+ for this same looking Daisy Flower Bracelet, but not here. We found the cutest Bohemian style bracelet for our Y2K queens/kings. 

Massager

Thank me later. 

Neck Massager

As a proud Asian, finding the best possible deal is how I was taught growing up in an Asian family. This year’s Chinese New Year, you no longer need to stress over budgets for getting your parents the best New Year Gift. The Shiatsu Neck & Back Massager with Soothing Heat is that one massager that will make your parents smile even in their naps. With just $36.79, you are guaranteed to receive that approval nod from your mama and papa.

Massager

Who in this stressed out and crazy world does NOT like a good foot massage?! Whether it’s a gift for the elders for this year’s Chinese New Year, or just a sweet treat for yourself, you gotta check out this MUJERBAY Foot Massager Machine. 3 Modes, 3 Intensity Deep Kneading Foot Massager, With remote control, you are going to get whoever that lucky person is the best Chinese New Year (or really just anytime) Gift of their lifetime.

Cookware

After interviewing 10 moms on what they would love to receive as an anytime gift, 9 out of 10 said Cookwares (1 wanted a Mahjong Set so we will introduce a few to you later (wink)). But basically, there is never enough cookware one mother could own. As you continue, you will find 3 best ratings cookwares we found on Amazon that have the most best value for money.

Nonstick Cookware

First, we have the Rachael Ray Cucina Nonstick Cookware Pots and Pans Set that comes in 7 different colors. Yup! You heard us right. SEVEN different shades. We have found users who have had this same cookware set for 4 years now and the pots and pans still have not yet worn off, cracked, or chipped. What’s crazier, even with all the scrubbing after so many years, not only are the pots and pans all still non-stick, but the color is still strongly tacked!

Wok

Uncle Roger once said: “You will never be able to cook good fried rice without a Wok”. Every Asian family must possess one wok in their kitchen. Without a wok, there will be no spirit in the food. Now, we are talking about serious matters. You cannot possibly cook well without a wok. For gifts purposes or not, I want you right now to click into this link and trust us taking your relationship with food to the next level. God bless you.

knife

Okay, after a good set of cookware and one sexy wok, we are now moving on to teach you how to prep the best Chinese New Year Dinner. The 7 Inch Stainless Steel Cleaver Knife is worth it for its sheer versatility. Whether it’s pounding, slicing, mincing, chopping, crushing, or dicing, the many cleaver uses make it a go-to cutlery tool. Having this classic cutlery masterpiece makes any hefty kitchen task seem like a hot knife through butter.

Mahjong

Quoted directly from Rachel Chu from Crazy Rich Asians: “My mom taught me how to play. She told me mahjong would teach me important life skills – Negotiation”. Growing up, mahjong is that one family gathering game that everyone knows how to play since baby. What’s more, in China, Mahjong is considered the game representing peace and friendship. There is no age limit to playing Mahjong, so it is common that most households possess at least one Mahjong set for family and friends to play during holidays.

Majong

It is said that a good Mahjong set can be seen as a status symbol and a source of pride among Chinese families. This bright red Mahjong set is the perfect Chinese New Year gift you can get for anyone that just loves to play Mahjong. Not only does the color of this Mahjong set perfectly match the occasion of New Year, but the carrying box also allows it to be portable and convenient to bring to different events!

Majohn

This Automatic Mahjong Table is the perfect Mahjong collectible one could have. One no longer has to shuffle and distribute each tile individually. This Mahjong Table automatically shuffles tiles that are funneled into the center and distribute the tiles in perfectly stacked rows in front of each player. This Automatic Mahjong Table is going to save you and your family so much time to get the best out of Mahjong!
