Who doesn’t like the lavish celebrations Asian style? Living in the country of the many cultures, it is fascinating to me to learn and to share traditions and cultural celebrations every year. One of my favorites is the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Celebrated as a symbol of the end of winter and tribulations during the season of scarcity, Asian Lunar Year brings hope and the beginning of Spring both in Nature and within each person. The meaning is deep and truly revered by each person who comes from the rich cultures of tradition and belief into the living and breathing Natural and Ancestral forces.
The integral color of celebration is RED. The Chinese New Year is known for its Lion dances, fireworks, family gatherings, and yummy ethnic meals. Many take time to visit friends and relatives (ζεΉ΄, bΓ iniΓ‘n), giving red envelopes with gifts, and decorating homes and gift offerings with duilian, couplets in Chinese poetry.
This year Chinese Lunar Year falls on February 19, 2015. There’s no denying the fact that many retailers would like to capture the spirit of this holiday for our Asian-American communities and offer something of value to them.
Best Buy has always been on the forefront of celebrations of cultural importance. This year, our favorite store has come up with a special design and offer to commemorate the Asian Lunar Year β a special Gift Card.
Look at the card and its design! I love it! It uses red, yellow and golden colors to honor and reflect upon the significance of the celebration β Chinese Lunar New Year. The inscription Happy New Year in both Chinese and English remind me of a duilian. And the shape of the card is vertical as well, representing the original shape of a duilian.
This coi adorned gift card would be a great gift for anybody!

I love the design of the best buy card. I totally forgot about the Chinese New Year.
Great post, but I have to laugh. As a huge fan of Gilmore Girls, every time I hear Chinese Lunar New Year I think of the show.
I love the colours and design. It’s nice that larger companies pay attention to ALL holidays, not just the “Big C” π lol

Chinese New Year has always been a big thing in my home country and that is because there are a lot of Chinese Nationals there. And whenever they celebrate, we celebrate with them too. π Love the design of the card. Lovely!
I love it that stores and companies are embracing other cultures and recognizing them as celebrations/holidays for their customers. Best Buy has some great products – I love anything tech!

Chinese Lunar New Year is one of my favorite festivals and holidays π When we lived in California, we would always go to Chinatown for the parade.

The real question is why is the lunar new year still celebrated when it has no relevance to the modern calendar? Last i checked, China doesn’t actually run on a lunar calendar anymore.
What a neat idea for BBY to make gift cards for the Chinese New Year.
Wow it’s that time of the year again!! Time flies so fast!!
That is definitely an attractive card. And my daughter has been learning about the Chinese New year.
Oh my gosh, time really flies fast. I can vividly remember how we celebrated the last Chinese New Year and there are only three months to go before the next. I also love CNY not only because we’re Chinese but because it’s so festive.
I love that they incorporated this into a gift card design! They did a great job!
What a unique and great gift idea! Best Buy did a great job with the design as well.
I am so happy to see that their gift card represents a new year.
Love, love, LOVE the design! I would totally use one of these if given to me (I can think of about a million things I’d be tempted to buy right now). I have such fond memories of Chinese New Year. I always loved going to play the games at the festival with my grandfather.
Very cool, I love to see companies helping ALL their customers celebrate their holidays
Love how they designed those gift cards.
