The colour red plays a significant role in Lunar New Year tradition, and it’s why people are often clad in red during these celebrations. Not only is the colour associated with prosperity, good fortune and protection from evil spirits, but red is considered one of the luckiest colours for the Year of the Rabbit – a year of auspiciousness, vigilance, longevity and hope, to name a few. In honour of the Lunar New Year’s most festive colour, we created an all-red gift guide to help you bring good fortune to all your loved ones. –Christina Armanious
