According to Old Chinese Lunar Year Custom Records, there are a few methods that one self can prepare in-order to gain the blessing of Wealth by the Deities of Wealth before New Year and during the New Year Period.
So what shall be prepared?
According to the records, one self shall prepare the following items:

9 Fa Gao aka Huat Kuey

9 Nian Gao aka Dee Kuey

9 Hong Gui Guo aka Ang Ku Kuey

9 sticks of Incenses

3 stacks of Incense-papers
So after preparing, what shall be done?
After all these items are being prepared, one self (the person who wished to request for the blessing of Wealth) shall bring them to a Temple (which is convenient for one self) to pay respect to the Deities in the Temple (main Deity inside the Temple not necessary to be Deity of Wealth).
After placing the offerings on the Main Altar, sincerely light the 9 Incenses and then kneel down in front the Altar to make request.
During the making of request, one self shall be sincere and do not be greedy. Only request whatever is possible. Then, sincerely place the Incenses into the urn and step 3 steps backward and leave the Altar.
After 15 minutes, retrieve the Incense-papers from the Altar and burn them off.
After burning, retrieve back the offerings and bring home. Do not throw any of the items away. If one self cant finish all, distribute out to the others, by sharing of the fortune, one self will get in-return of more fortune.
If one selfs request is being answered, do remember to visit the Temple again within 49 Days. Burn the same quantity of offerings and leave them in the Temple, allow the others to share the joyous of fortune with you.
So when is the Best time to make this offering?
Best is before Li Chun Day or Lunar New Year Eve.
Reason for doing so:
To request for Good Luck for the Next Year.
