Representation of dowry

Baby’s bath: A sure indication that the bride wants to care for babies.

Lamps: They give light that spreads out good fortune and many children. Fueling and caring for the lamp mean more children. It's always a must to buy in a pair for lamps.

Washbowl: For the bride to wash her mother-in-law and father-in-law as a sign of respect.

Child’s bucket: Though it looks like a spittoon, it’s just a pot that has two oranges placed inside and is then covered with red paper. A male child in the bride’s new family is then invited to tear the paper, eat the fruit and pee in the pot meaning a prayer for male children.

Ruler: The bride and groom are ready to act as adults now meaning a symbol that they will always measure the consequences of what they do.

Towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, pairs of slippers: Two of each because everything in a new home needs to be new. For the bride and for the groom, the slippers come with small silver coins to bring good fortune. (The slippers used to be clogs, “but young people don’t know how to walk in clogs nowadays!”)

A tea set: For the bride to serve tea to the parents. The tea set traditionally has cups with handles = ears = a daughter-in-law who will listen to her elders and betters.

Plus a special box containing:
- All sorts of beans = the start of a garden = growth and good fortune.
- Pin cushion decorated by many boys meaning you will be blessed with many boys
- Box of coloured threads + black + white meaning a life full of colour “until your hair turns from black to white.”
- A measuring tape meaning you will always be measuring yourself for new clothes = a life of plenty.
- A pair of scissors meaning you will always be cutting cloth to make new clothes = a life of plenty.
