1. A beautiful zodiac spinner card that'll share a few traits about each animal but is blank inside for you so you can write your own little message, too. Since it's not just based on one zodiac, you can stock up on a few extras to use next year.
2. A LEGO set with six festive scenes (like exchanging red envelopes and making decorations with the family) to get you in the spirit. When you're done building, you can display them a bunch of different ways, since they can stack or connect around the centrepiece.
3. A tub of translucent powder from Laura Mercier that'll keep your makeup in place through all the cooking, eating, and celebrating you'll be doing. It'll give your skin a matte finish that won't cause any flashback in photos.
4. A pair of Roots socks that'll help kiddos complete their 'fits for the occasion. They have extra cushioning in the sole to keep their feet comfy — perfect if they'll be running around all day.
5. A Sephora Favorites set filled with a bunch of skin, hair, and fragrance goodies to try without having to commit to full-sized versions. The lil' bottles and tubes are also great for throwing in your purse or carry-on while you're travelling.
6. A limited-edition red Always Pan that'll help you cook up all your favourite Lunar New Year foods (hello, dumplings). It can fry, it can steam, it's easy to clean — basically, it's the only pan you need in your life.
7. And a beautiful rice bowl set to serve your guests their dishes. They're designed by artist Vanilla Chi and each one is hand-glazed, making them extra special and unique.
8. A Coach wristlet to stash all of the red envelope money you'll be getting over the holidays. It'll fit all the essentials (keys, money, phone), so you can grab it and go on its own, or clip it onto a bigger bag.
9. An Oribe travel shampoo and conditioner duo that'll make you feel like you're getting a wash at a fancy salon. They're both loaded with nourishing ingredients like biotin and argan oil to keep your hair healthy (the signature scent will remind you of a coastal vacation, too).
10. A cozy Under Armour crewneck with a fun dumpling design that's understated enough to wear beyond Lunar New Year celebrations. You can also pick up the matching joggers, if you love a coordinated set.
11. And a water-resistant sherpa jacket that'll keep you extra bundled up this winter. It has a subtle coin design on the back, so you'll have a piece of good luck wherever you go.
12. A bottle of Kiehl's calendula toner that'll make your skin as glowy as gold. It's packed with herbal ingredients that'll feel super refreshing and help soothe irritated skin.
13. A Lunar New Year Monopoly set for some family-friendly gaming. It's a little different than regular Monopoly, since you collect gifts to store in your red envelope and buy shops instead of properties, so it's worth adding to your collection even if you already have the original.
14. A tube of Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in a limited-edition shade because no Lunar New Year look is complete without a red lip. When you're done with the lipstick, you can just pop in a refill to get the most out of the gorgeous packaging.
15. A bottle of red nail polish so you match from head to toe. Reviewers love how long-lasting it is and say it doesn't chip easily, while also being less of a fuss to remove than gel nails.
16. A set of Sugarfina candies that would make a pretty (and delicious) gift. One box is filled with gummy candies and the other with chocolates, so it's really the best of both worlds.
17. A set of cartoon envelopes if you're going to be dishing out some moola this year. Since there are 12 different designs, they won't get all mixed up after you've handed them out.
18. And lastly, a copy of Mooncakes & Milk Bread that'll teach you how to make all the best sweets and treats inspired by Chinese bakeries to impress your guests.
