OUR GIFT IDEAS FOR LUNAR NEW YEAR 2023

Discover our joyful, fortune-bringing presents to celebrate the east and south-east Asian holiday

Wish friends and family a happy Lunar New Year with a potted orchid, a gift that continues to give long after the festival is over.

New clothes signify a fresh start – this kids’ red pointelle jumper with a frilled collar ticks all the boxes.

Greet the host with a fruit hamper containing tangerines or oranges. In Chinese, the fruits’ names resemble the words for ‘luck’ and ‘success’.

New homeware welcomes good fortune to your space – add colour with this plush velvet cushion, which features a rabbit and deer design.

Gold jewellery is considered an intimate gift suitable for spouses or partners. Add their zodiac charm or the number eight for extra luck.

If your host drinks alcohol, a bottle of Scotch whisky, Valentines Day nightwear.

Start the new year as you wish to go on by wearing a fresh set of pyjamas, in fortune-bringing red or gold, to bed the night before.

Honour tradition and gather your loved ones for a feast. An 127-0Shops afternoon tea gift is a great way to celebrate from afar.

Weave lucky red into winter outfits with a luxurious cashmere scarf.
