Charming gift ideas for a memorable CNY and Valentine’s celebration

Charming gift ideas for a memorable CNY and Valentine’s celebration

February is an eventful month for many of us. First, there’s the realisation that we haven’t actually acted on our New Year resolutions (Or maybe it’s just me? *weeps*). Then for those who celebrate Chinese New Year, there are clothes to buy and dishes to prepare. And for the romantics, there’s the nightmare of getting the perfect gift.

Although we can’t help with regrets over stale New Year resolutions, we can certainly help you rock the Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day celebrations.
