  • In traditional Asian customs, red envelopes are often used to gift cash or gold for good luck. But feel free to exercise your creativity!

    Stuff them with other small gift items such as:

    • Gift cards

    • Candies & chocolates

    • Keychains

    • Enamel pins

    • Charm bracelets

    • Travel souvenirs

    • Mini toys & trinkets

    • Stickers

    • Magnets

    • Lip balm / beauty items

    Hunting for small treasures that fit is part of the fun.

  • No. The envelopes come as empty shells and look charming as a stuffed gift package on their own.

    We punch a small hole to add a ribbon, which helps with hanging and demonstrating that it can also be used as a festive decor item.

    Idea: string them up to display an advent calendar garland.

  • We use a 3mm hole puncher in order to add a ribbon.

    It is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XJm0Cm

    A standard hole puncher works, too!

    (If you don’t have a hole puncher, you can still pierce a hole with a needle. The ribbon hides everything.)

  • Do not mail your Paper Dumplings without proper packaging as they do not meet postal size standards.

    They should be packed in standard parcel packaging or shipping boxes with proper shipping labels.

    Consult with your local post office to ensure safe and secure mailing of your gifts.

  • Not yet, but we're considering some form of customization for the future.

    We've only launched in Summer 2024 and are still developing our core seasonal collections for 2025.

    Our long-term vision is to offer a wide variety of dumplings for cultural and personal celebrations.

    Follow us on social media to stay in the know.

ABOUT US

Paper Dumplings is a mother–son venture creating handcrafted paper gift pouches inspired by bao lì xì (Vietnamese lucky money envelopes).

Trang Mai’s journey—from factory floors to running a beloved café and bakery—brings handmade craftsmanship and heart. Her son Robert, a designer and illustrator with a playful streak, adds quirky graphic flair.

What began as a paper craft gifting project has grown into a playful way to share culture, and make memories.
