If you're lucky enough, you might have a neighbour like Aunty Linda.
The rest of us will have to rely on our own artistic capabilities to reproduce some of that CNY vibes.
If you're worried about the cost, help is coming from an unlikely place this year — household and hardware store MR. DIY.
For the upcoming festive season, MR.DIY is selling a variety of decorations from S$0.50.
More than 600 items are available, from lanterns to flowers and even cushions and table runners.
