This Lunar New Year celebrates the Year of the Snake. Each year is represented by one of 12 zodiac animals. The Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac symbolizes wisdom, intuition, and transformation. People born in the Year of the Snake are often thought to be intelligent, graceful, and mysterious, with a strong ability to strategize and adapt to challenges.

The snake is also associated with deep thinking, elegance, and a sense of calm, but it can also symbolize caution and secretive tendencies. In Chinese culture, the snake represents renewal and rebirth, aligning with its natural cycle of shedding its skin and emerging anew.

The Year of the Snake begins January 29 (eve is January 28th) and continues for 15 days. It is traditional to exchange bright red money envelopes symbolizing good luck, happiness, and health for the new year. Traditional foods are eaten and special gifts to friends and family are exchanged showing appreciation and respect for the receiver, while also bringing luck to the person giving and the loved one receiving the gift.

Here are some ideas for Lunar New Year gifts to celebrate the Year of the Snake:
