Now the current ang pow trend is the working adults (married or not) can give elders like parents and grandparents.

Geez, u know wat....

I was thinking of rewrapping up those distasteful tacky wedding gifts I got from friends and give them out during CNY.... (e.g. bedsheets that didn't match my house theme, picture frames and yeah, cups!) :evil::evil:

:lol::D:lol: Should hear what my wife says... "Hey! New year I gotta work, as for you, dun anyhow go out for visitation hor! :ph34r::fear: Otherwise, I deduct those expenses from ur tank budget..." :lol::D

Anyway, I heard first year after marriage not necessary to give ang pow... is it so?

But if you seriously ask me for advice, with regards to gifts (esp for older folks), nothing beats Ang Pow... This way, they can channel the money to what they prefer, e.g. new dentures, a visit to Batam (Esp for Ah Kong.... :whistle) but usually they keep the $$$ lah... it's the thought that counts...

Trust me... when it comes to gifts, ang pow better.... personal experience from my very own wedding.... :lol::D
