The Qingming(Clear Bright) [Chinese Festival](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-burial-coins) is on the 15th day after the Spring Equinox occurring around April 5 of the Gregorian calendar. During this festival, it is tradition to [burn replicas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-paper-umbrella) of useful items as offerings for the dead. That's where "Printable Offerings" come in. Nicolas Cheng and Michael Leung of [Studio Leung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-world-suite) have created "Printable Offerings". These are images of every day use such as iPhones, cigarettes, wallets etc. These images can be downloaded, printed and assembled in 3-D models for use at the upcoming Qingming Festival.
