I know what you’re thinking: New Year? Its a little bit of a rush on the season and we haven’t hit Christmas yet – but I love that Best Buy supports events in which they believe are value to their employees, customers, and communities. Best Buy is giving us a head-start to thinking of our Asian and Asian American Friends for the upcoming Lunar New Year. Lunar New Year not only celebrates the beginning of the year but also the ending of winter and the anticipated arrival of spring. It is one of the most important (and longest) holidays celebrated in Asian countries. Lunar New Year is celebrated from the turn of the calendar (Which this year is February 19th) until the 15th day of the first month.
There is a lot of tradition behind the Lunar New Year – most commonly including decorated windows and doors with red, which is meant to give good fortune and happiness, wealth and longevity. Gifts are often given in the form of money or gift cards in red envelopes. So to help this process: Best Buy is helping celebrate the event with Asian-inspired Giftcard and eGiftcard, available for purchase or gifting from BestBuy.com through February 22nd, 2015.
Please keep in mind the tradition of the amount of money: the first number should be an even number – for example: $20, or $45, and 8 is considered a lucky number. Odd numbers first are associated with death and funerals so stay away from $30 and $50!
