Longevity

one of my favorite people in the company that I work for turned 70.

The gift I was instructed to give him from my Chinese antiquity specialist co-worker was, peaches (longevity) and 8 of them because that's a lucky number, and virgin monkey tea ("monkey" again for longevity).

When i have more time I'll link a Wikipedia of why those stands for longevity but just in case anyone needed advice on what to give someone old for their birthday for even more longevity!! I'll post this for now...
