Dragon Boat Festival 2026 (端午節, Tuen Ng Festival) falls on Sunday, 31 May — one of Hong Kong's most beloved traditional celebrations. While the city fills with the sound of drumbeats and the smell of sticky rice dumplings, it's also a wonderful occasion to show appreciation to family, friends, colleagues, and clients with a thoughtful gift.
At BetterThanFlowers, we've put together the best Dragon Boat Festival gift ideas in Hong Kong for 2026 — all available with same-day delivery across the city.
🍾 Why Give Gifts at Dragon Boat Festival?
Tuen Ng Festival is traditionally a time for family gatherings, warding off evil spirits, and of course — eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). But it's also increasingly popular as a gifting occasion, particularly for corporate gifts and tokens of appreciation between friends and family. Think of it as Hong Kong's summer equivalent of Chinese New Year gifting.
🥃 Celebratory Drinks & Hampers
Mark the long weekend with something special from our Gifts to Drink collection — fine wines, champagne, craft beers and artisan spirits that make a sophisticated gift for colleagues, clients, or family. Pair with gourmet snacks for a complete festival hamper.

For a modern twist on traditional festival gifting, our artisan chocolate collection — including the locally made Conspiracy Chocolate bars — makes a beautifully packaged and genuinely delicious gift. Our foodie gift collection also includes gourmet nuts, cheese bites, and specialty snacks perfect for sharing over the long weekend.
