Chinese New Year Alcohol Gifts to the Netherlands

In the Netherlands it is not recommended that you send alcohol gifts for Chinese New Year. In many regions it is considered off limits during Chinese New Year, if not offensive. If you aren’t sure, play it safe and send something without alcohol. If you want to play it extra safe, simply send them an e-mail or card during the holiday and promise a gift a bit later. Perhaps on a random Friday to make sure they have everything they need for an impromptu party!

We get it, Chinese New Year is important, and you want to make sure you send the best gift to your friends in the Netherlands. However, picking out the perfect Chinese New Year gift just has three simple rules, no matter who you’re sending it to. Make sure the gift is meaningful to them. For any alcohol gift this is as simple as making sure it is either their favorite bottle of liquor, or something they’ve been dying to try. Make sure the gift is relevant to Chinese New Year. Everyone has their traditions, make sure the gift matches theirs. If they have tons of people over, send something to share! Finally, make sure the gift arrives on time, or earlier. This is especially important if you’re sending it to a business address or you know they travel!

Impressing your friends and family in the Netherlands on Chinese New Year is important! Remembering to even send a gift is the first step. Now to pick out something that will impress! If you want popular brands, world-renowned labels are always a safe bet, like Glenfiddich Scotch Gifts, Glenlivet Scotch Whisky Gifts, Jack Daniel's Whiskey Gifts, Smirnoff Vodka Gifts, and Stoli Vodka Gifts. However we always recommend that you consider your friend’s taste over the brand. If you know their favorite bottle of beer, wine, or spirits that is absolutely what you should send them on Chinese New Year. If you’re not sure, or you know they like to try something new, be sure to send them something imported to the Netherlands!

Sending alcohol gifts to anyone in the Netherlands on Chinese New Year is not recommended. Even if you’re sure the individual you’re sending to has other ideas, you have the impression of the whole office to consider. Play it safe and either send them something else, or save that bottle for after Chinese New Year. Sending a bottle of wine, liquor, or beer, just as a thank you later may make an even better impression.
