Ang pow giving time is what every little kid looks forward to. And yes, all the single adults too.
Help ah ma make this CNY more fun with this ang pow dispenser. Time to make it rainnnnnn! Plus, you can even put different amounts into the ang pows, so it's all up to luck. The kids will absolutely LOVE running around to catch their ang pow, and the grown-ups will feel like ballers too.
2. Tired of getting stuck in the jam visiting all your yi ma ku che? Just combine everyone into one big virtual reunion party on Zoom!

Driving around to bai nian with allll your uncles and aunties during CNY can be so tiring, ugh. Since need to physical distance this year, just organise one BIG BIG Zoom reunion party lah. No jam, no stress, wheeee!
And when your yi ma ku che start asking you all the annoying questions like, "Got boyfriend/girlfriend ah?", "When getting married?", "When having babies?", you can just dodge a bullet by saying, "Haaa? What did you say? Sorry line bad cannot hear." >.<

If you grew up playing mahjong, you'll definitely be familiar with the clattering of the tiles, and all the "Sek!" and "Pong!"
The older generation, especially, will be super sad if they don't get to play mahjong during Chinese New Year. Thankfully, they can now hang out with their mahjong kaki online thanks to all the gaming apps. To make things smoother, you can even help your parents, uncles, and aunties set up a Discord server so they can talk to each other while playing.
And no need to worry about the kids lah. They confirm know how to keep themselves occupied one. You'll prolly find them playing games like PUBG and Among Us together-gether.
This Year of the Ox, you can still find unique and OXpicious ways to celebrate Chinese New Year with all your loved ones!
