Q: CNY Hongbao etiquette – of cashless red envelopes n digital e.bags
CNY round the corner n need to distribute some hongbao’s.
I still prefr the good ol’ fashiond red envelops rathr thn the latest trend of digital transfrs on mobile. How abt u ?
Is it appropriate to fill those red bags with movie tickets, gift vouchrs or somethin’ else in lieu of cash ? Suggestions appreciatd. Thx!
I asked for a hn'b.. but no-one understood what I meant :(
Curiousdude:
its too erly. they'll surely gv closr to cny aftr 3 wks..
well, I go digital myself, but my thoughts on your question are like this-
it probably is not considered appropriate by most, but fk 'em, the way we introduce new ways of doing things is by a few people being bold enough to act! No matter what someone might say there is nothing bad about getting a gift cert. or sth similar. It's still a gift, shows you were thinking of them. A decent person would be grateful.
as my ol' mammy always said: 'Never look a gift-horse in the mouth'
Curiousdude:
well said dude. this shd surely be the answr of the day.
How is this a question? Just do it whatever way you want? And who the fuck gives out New Year hongbaos?

Your saving (Rmb) will dip some 5-10% in next month. IMO, you're better off with holding some PM coins.
Curiousdude:
imo 5-10% in a month is improbable. a pct up or dwn is more likely
