Gift of love to the Elders – Birthday Gifts, Anniversary Gifts (送爱心礼物给老人家)
What’s the best gift for an elderly? Deep down, simply receiving a call from you would make them light up; or simply – to show them you love and care for their health and wellbeing. How else can you give them a gift to make them shine?
Maybe a gift that combines the symbols of health, happiness and love - how about a Chinese delicacy gift hamper filled with dried seafood?
Combination of Fish Maw, Sea Cucumber and Mushrooms; perhaps add some dried oysters, abalone or scallops. Best part of giving dried seafood as gifts – everyone knows they’re delicacies and would really appreciate them. They’re healthy and best of all, storage friendly. They can last a very long time, some even taste better with age.
Next time you can’t figure out what to buy for an elderly, think of Hearty Hampers – we can curate the perfect gift to make the one you love and care simply smile!
