So we’re back in the office from a really great and long Chinese New Year break! With all our routes completely split from one another, we didn’t even get much time to meet up nor be in the same location at once. Still, nothing stopped us from coinciding the glees of the festivities: the one thing we had in common with each of us in the team is that we all enjoyed a great deal of joyous moments with our closest families and friends, not to mention great food! To share snippets of our holiday with you, here’s a little compilation of Instagram shots shared between one another:
Hope you guys had as wonderful a celebration as we did! And now, it’s back to business as usual!

Happy Chinese New Year to all that celebrate, and for the rest, enjoy the long holidays! Due to this awesome festive season, our office will be closed ’til the 7th February, therefore any orders made online during this period will only be delivered out on the 8th.
Once again, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

 Okay guys, get ready to nab yourselves some Gin & Jacqie ang paos filled with cash vouchers ‘coz the contest officially begins today! The steps are simple:
1. Log on to www.ginjacqie.com/my
2. Find the emblem above hidden among the pages
3. Print screen the page that you spotted the emblem in
OR
tell us exactly where you spotted it (but we’ll prioritize those who print screen and send us the image instead so as to avoid cheaters)
4. Email us the image at info@ginjacqie.com
Each day from today ’til Sunday, the emblem will move to different places within the website. The FIRST FOUR people to email us the hidden emblem spots each days will receive a cash voucher ang pao from us. So move fast, ‘coz we’ve already gotten quite a few emails… Sadly, they’re all guessing the emblem is ON the treasure hunt banner itself… We’d like to save you the trouble by saying no, it isn’t. It’s not THAT easy, people ;p

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and we’ve found some creative ways to make the best of both occasions on a budget. Here are some DIY ideas we think would be perfect for the transition from family to romance. Okay, that sounded wrong… but you get what we mean ^_^
Yokebakery.com featured this heart-shaped ang pao tutorial, and it’s a simple and easy way to put a smile to both CNY recipients and Valentine’s Day receivers. Also check out creator Alberta’s origami bunny tutorial… so adorable!
Ever since Martha Stewart posted up this felt fortune cookie tutorial, people worldwide have been making versions of their own for Valentine’s Day. In fact, our designer Ellie made a boxful for a hen’s night game where kinky questions were hidden in each cookie that the bride-to-be had to answer. You can pick up sheets of felt at ArtFriend in Gardens, Mid Valley or you can buy by the metre at Kamdar. Fortunes can be used for CNY, while love notes can be inserted in for Valentine’s Day. Check out Shannon Eileen’s sweet use of the cookies *here*.
And lastly, of course, a bunny!!! It’s the year of the bunny, and what better gift to give than the gift of adorable cuddliness???! I mean, c’mon… the gift that keeps giving! Surprise kids in the family with a bunny instead of an ang pao, or buy the love of your life a pair for Valentine’s Day. Sure to brighten anyone’s day!
Now that you guys have some different approaches to giving, get to it ‘coz time is running out! Psst… we could do with some bunny lovin’ in the office if you’re feeling generous *winks*.

So we all love ang paos/red packets of yummy money. But visiting friends and family on Chinese New Year shouldn’t always be about the taking and not to giving. Some bring hampers, others bring cartons of mandarin oranges, but if you’re looking for something a little more modern, we’ve found two solutions to your showing up empty handed at another open house this year.
 
1. Cuppacakes CNY cupcakes.
This year, Cuppacakes brings two themes for the picking. Orange Blossom is a vibrant palate of sweet treats, while Red Lantern is all about the rich hues. Each pack comes with 36 petite cupcakes and cost a mere RM90. They can also customize company logos into the mix for a different price.
 
2. House of Creo bunny cookies
We came across these cookies on Facebook, and found out that it was from the gorgeous Hannah Lo. Each box has three different bunny shapes in orange caramel flavor: Spring Blossom, Golden Prosperity, and And Pao Bunny. An assortment of six is priced at RM36.88, a dozen for RM69.88, and a family pack of 27 is RM152.88. For more info, simply email your enquiries or orders to sales.houseofcreo@gmail.com or call 017-2233488. Hurry, as stocks are limited!
We’ll also be posting up some CNY gift ideas within the week. Keep checking in for some creative goodies!
