Here is a sample typical Chinese gift hamper that is `exchanged' prior to Chinese New Year. Usually, the top or apex has a bottle of VSOP Cognac e.g. Henessey, Remy Martin etc... The quality of the contents depends on the cost of the hamper. Hampers cost between S$150 to as much as S$1000 (S$1 = US$1.69) Since this is the year of the dragon, you will notice a dragon circle the entire hamper:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Attached please find two sample paper-cuttings. 2. Can you imagine the skill involved in cutting out these pictures? 3. It is indeed a dying art and few can do these fine cuttings. The paper used is very thin and `fragile' coloured paper. 4. Please examine these two pictures carefully and you can see the fine lines of thin coloured paper.

Cicada is considered auspicious because it symbolises happiness and eternal youth. A Cicada emerges from the ground after it pupates for four years. Sometimes it is seen emerging from the burial grounds. Here, the Chinese see it as immortality. This is the reason why some Chinese place a Jade cicada in the mouth of the dead before the burial. The cicada is often seen in Chinese paintings.
