Yo guys!

my first CNY in Hefei, second in China (but the first one I was a tourist at my very first trip to China!).

i'll spend the holidays visiting the families of friends, so i wonder, what are good presents to bring them for the occasion??

just baijiu?
i see all shops are now full of different baijiu boxes.. but maybe i'd like to hear different ideas from your experience!!

thx!!

Hi Andy
My wifes family require 2 boxes (2 or 4 bottles) of Baijiu  .If someone likes to smoke than also some boxes of cigarettes or some fruit.
I don't like Baijiu so I still buy a Johnie Walkes whiskey for me. 

Wish you a happy chinese new year of Rabbit!!!!

It's best to give bottles of alcohol in pairs. One is not the done thing.
I brought a beautiful bottle of red from Australia for a friend and had to buy 2 more bottles of BadJiu and pretend they were the better gift.

Did I spell that wrong or is it my warped sense of humour. 

Huge bottles of cooking oil and bags of seeds seem to be common.

Thanks guys!

i'll visit a couple of different families.. i'll then go for the easy BadMoJo solution 
(wrong spell again??? ops!)

And maybe some fruits..

regards,

andy

btw, i'll also be in Hefei during the holidays so we might meet somewhere for some good mojo
