Celebrate the Year of the Snake with our annual Lunar New Year Friendship Box. Inside you'll find:
Treats to Bring Good Fortune. Eat your way to luck with ginger sweets, lucky candy, and tangerine honey loquat drops. Ginger represents good health and longevity, sweets are for a sweet year, and tangerines stand for gold and prosperity.
Year of the Snake Items. People born in snake years are thought to be mysterious and wise. In Chinese culture, snakes symbolize prosperity and good luck. They're one of four Supernatural Creatures representing the four quadrants of heaven: the blue dragon in the east, the phoenix in the south, the white tiger in the west, and the tortoise and serpent in the north.
Red Money Envelopes. Also called hong bao or lai see, these envelopes aren’t for mailing letters. They’re for gifting money, the crisper the bills the better. Children and singletons will especially benefit: traditionally, married couples are supposed to give hong bao to the young and unattached.
Lucky Charm. Attracting good fortune is imperative during the New Year. You can do so with a lucky charm such as lucky coins (symbolizing prosperity).
Noisemaker. Setting off firecrackers to scare away evil spirits is a Lunar New Year tradition. But anything noisy will do, whether a drum, party blower, or other clamorous item.
