LUNAR NEW YEAR GIFTS FOR FRIENDS & FAMILY

If you’re struggling to find the perfect Lunar New Year gift for your friends and family, here are some simple ideas to get you started.

The best Lunar New Year gifts to give are red and gold. These colours represent luck, wealth and prosperity and bring good fortune to the receiver. With this in mind, Renaissance Red and Red Splendour are both superb collections for Lunar New Year because of their rich red colourways and gilding.

LUNAR NEW YEAR GIFT-GIVING ETIQUETTE

  • Give gifts in pairs – We recommend this because it is a custom in China that good things should be presented in twos.  
  • Remove the price tag –If you leave the price tag on an expensive gift, this could be seen as you expecting something as (or more) valuable in return.
  • Be mindful of colour – Red and gold are the best colours to gift at Lunar New Year. Try to avoid black and white gifts as these colours symbolise death.
  • Give gifts with two hands –This traditional custom shows respect and appreciation towards the act of gifting and to the receiver.
