Premium CNY Hampers @ kanasai Giftshops & Florists

Today,I had the 'fortune' of receiving a hamper packed with the following items

  • 6 bottles of Happy Health essence of chicken with American ginseng,panax ginseng and cordyceps
  • 1 bottle of red wine from CYF singapore
  • 1 box of The Chocolate brand of chocolates from Goldman Brother Trading
  • 1 box of Royal Jujube by Goldman Brother Trading
  • 1 box of Korean Ginseng Candy by Goldman Brother Trading
  • 1 box of Traditional Mee Suah by Goldman Brother Trading
  • 1 small golden decorative chinese coin box
  • 2  cute,tiny decorative chinese gold nuggets
  • 2 stalks of plastic Chinese peony flowers
  • inside one attractive rattan basket with a cover which I presume is from China
Don't ask me why they label it premium when it's so full of crappy,second rate,Ah Tu Ah Kau inferior products.
The very act of sticking on some plastic flowers or two and using a slightly more expensive decorative basket rather than a plastic tray, gives these hoodlums the right to declare that their hampers are of the premium category and charge anything from $128  for a tiny one to astronomical sums for taller ones.

All the experience harnessed from hamper opening over the years,did not prepare me for this.

Everything was hot glue gunned to prevent displacement during transportation.
Put in generous blobs to withstand the strongest earthquakes,cyclones,and an hour long fast and furious sex orgy astride a collapsible mahjong table just before the end of the world 2012 as the Mayans had predicted it.

Which means that whoever you had the heart to present this to,is not gonna have the heart to tell you the following

  • Oh....so ma hwan,must be you don't like me very much is it?
  • CCB....the basket oso write off already,when you pull it out from the base,the whole thing ripped off
  • LC...... use glue gun on the chicken essence cause it to leak.Sure contaminate already.How to drink?
  • KNLB....woi ! the decoration also hot glued to the boxes and the coin box glued to the side of basket
  • TNS .....whoever packed this got no brains wan put lah sam soiled old chinese newspaper at the bottom for support
This kind of hamper is the best present,for out laws, just when you're sure you're about to split up for good.
