Lunar New Year has always been a season of excitement and surprises. I remember the way my aunt’s house seemed to glow, every corner bright with red and gold decorations, while the air smelled of fresh dumplings and sweet pastries. There was a thrill in every red envelope I opened – little treasures of candy or coins tucked inside – and a sense that anything was possible in those moments with family. Now, as 2026 approaches, the Year of the Horse brings a fresh energy. Limited-edition pieces from Sephora, Simons, Roots, Holt Renfrew and other coveted retailers are tempting me to bring that festive spirit into my own home – or add a little extra sparkle to family celebrations. Time to add to cart? Absolutely.

Red envelopes are a non-negotiable and this 54 piece set is as fitting as it gets. The tradition of giving red envelopes (or hongbao) during Chinese New Year symbolizes good luck, prosperity, and protection from harm. Rooted in legends and cultural values, red represents joy and wards off evil spirits, while the money inside, called ya sui qian, ensures health and safety.
