Angpows don’t have to be the only token of well wishes for Lunar New Year. Here’s how you can renew traditions with new rituals.
Or you can use the angpows to buy these for yourself, hehe.
Lunar New Year is a time of traditions, from visiting relatives to eating dumplings and playing mahjong.
But in the spirit of the lively Horse Year, what about putting a fun twist on one ritual — the giving of gifts?
While the typical Lunar New Year gift is cash in a red packet, there are many more ways to express your wishes for good fortune ahead.
A thoughtful gift will put a smile on your loved ones’ faces as you go visiting, spreading the joy of the season around.
Compared to giving cold hard cash, gifting a curated item can spark more meaningful conversations and show how attentive you are to your loved ones’ wants and needs.
For gifts that are meaningful and stay on the theme of vibrant blessings, iShopChangi has got you covered.
Choose from a range of fashion and jewellery to wines and electronics, all on one online platform, with up to 60 per cent off sitewide.
