  Hmm.. for working adult.. how many give ang bao to your parents?
  
  how much you all give?
  88? 188 or 288? or more?
  
  i was wondering if this year buying something for them is a better choice...

  Before married, we give extra allowance $100-200 to parents for their CNY shopping
  After married, give ang pow of $20 each during 1st day of CNY *wish them good health*

  What's stopping you from buying them presents as well as give ang pow?
  
  The ang pow is a must lah, everyone likes to collect ang pows during CNY mah. I give my parents several hundreds...since it's a once a year ang pow.

  will give them ang bao + present, but the ang bao content is lighter lo
  
  think maybe just give cash ba, easier also. they can buy what they want

  Aiya, we give them empty ang pao, they also return with empty ang pao mah, fair and square, also saved so much trouble packing and worrying about give how much here and there.
