Give out digital Ang Paos
Giving red envelopes (Ang Pao) with cash is a well-known tradition in Chinese culture. Living in this situation though makes it hard for everyone to meet each other to send and receive Ang Paos. But don’t worry, you can still share your blessings without compromising your safety. Instead of giving cash in Ang Paos, why not transfer funds through digital banking or give out e-vouchers instead? Living in 2021 where online shopping is now part of our lives, these gift vouchers might be a more practical gift.
