Red Pocket Envelope for Chinese new year with gold print and a little shimmer!
Red packets are generally given by established married couples to the younger non-married children of the family. It is custom and polite for children to wish elders a happy new year and a year of happiness, health and good fortune before accepting the red envelope. Red envelopes are then kept under the pillow and slept on for seven nights after Chinese New Year before opening because that symbolizes good luck and fortune.
Fish signify abundance, ingots signify wealth, oranges signify happiness and prosperity, and lanterns scare of last year's demons and welcome a fresh start. 新年快樂 (Xin nian kuai le) means 'Happy New Year'.
