Hello, I have been invited to my Chinese business partner's new home for lunch. I know that a gift is appropriate and would like ideas in the 4000HKD range. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.....

I was thinking about some French and / US wine since its something that I know a bit about... I was worried that might now be appropriate since it's a "consumable"....(Yes, I am new at this...)
Gosh, you're generous. Are you referring to a congratulatory gift for the new home or simply to thank him/her for the lunch. If the latter, then a fruit basket or a box of nice biscuits will be fine. For the former, an ornament or a picture with some prosperous meaning will be good.
Hi Swell, thanks for the suggestions. My "budget" was determined by taking about 2/3 of the price of a "welcome to china" gift given by this couple to a member of my family... Does that seem about right?? (Since the gift given is a limited edition, it was easy to determine the price...) Many thanks for your assistance.
To OP: okay, then maybe try something from Lalique or Swarovski, so they can instantly recognise the brand and value.
I was thinking Lalique. The husband is not a big drinker and I have never seen his wife drink - hence my reticence with liquor. Many thanks for your suggestions.
