According to Statista and The Independent's 2015 release, the largest expense during Lunar New Year is purchasing gifts for parents. These gifts, symbolizing filial piety, are prioritized by up to 65 percent of people. Decorations and fireworks are the second largest expense at 61 percent. Gift purchases for friends and relatives follow, while red envelopes (angpao) only receive 29 percent of the budget.
