If you think gift-giving is over after December, think again, because we still got Lunar New Year 2022 to prep for! All my red envelope-loving peeps who celebrate know that this holiday is prime time to usher in happiness, great health, and prosperity (you know, all the good vibes) for the year ahead, and giving thoughtful gifts to your loved ones is a big part of doing so.


The most common gifts are red envelopes (or red packets). Red envelopes have money in and are often given to children and (retired) seniors.


Don't give the gift with unlucky meaning, such as clock which is related to 'death'.


If you're feeling overwhelmed by all that, well, there's a lot more where that came from. But! The good news is we're here with some great (and non-unlucky) prezzies you should consider giving come February 1—from red and gold accessories and beauty must-haves to practical decor and treats. There are even some stunning picks that are just perf for welcoming in the Year of the Tiger. Disclaimer: Though these may be traditional Chinese New Year gift ideas, they're anything but boring. See for yourself! Oh, and happy Chinese New Year!
