Best Buy Gift Card Celebrates Lunar New Year

Best Buy Gift Card

It may seem early to start talking about the New Year holiday, never mind the Lunar New Year (which falls on February 19th, 2015), but as we all know, time flies at this point in the year. I was just marveling that it’s less than a month to Thanksgiving!

Growing up in San Francisco, the Lunar New Year was very much a big deal. We often simply referred to it as Chinese New Year, though it’s in fact celebrated in a number of Asian countries, and the Chinese themselves do not call it “Chinese New Year”, but refer to it as the Lunar New Year or simply as the Spring Festival.

Whatever you call it, it puts a cap on winter and reminds one that spring is just around the corner. Lunar New Year means to me: a profusion of dragon imagery, loud firecrackers and the little red envelopes for good luck (and cash!), as well as hearty cries of “Gung Hei Fat Choy”

One thing I always enjoyed was finding out what animal was associated with the upcoming year. We’re currently in the Year of the Horse. I was born in the Year of the Rooster. The upcoming New Year will be the Year of the Goat. What year were you born in?

It made me both happy and nostalgic to hear that Best Buy is offering an Asian-inspired Giftcard and eGiftcard for this upcoming Lunar New Year (which will be the year 2566, for those who are counting), available for purchase or gifting from BestBuy.com through February 22nd, 2015. Featuring the lucky red color scheme and depictions of koi, this card is the perfect gift for those in your life who celebrate the Lunar New Year.

    That’s a beautiful gift card and would make a great gift for my Asian friends. I’m sure they’ll appreciate that I remembered their New Year and they’re getting to shop at Best Buy.

    My husband is a dragon, I think I’m a sheep? I’d have to double check on that. I think the lanterns are pretty cool.

    My uncle and aunt left a few days ago to go the States. One of the first places they always stop at is Best Buy. They love it there. They always end up buying something (even if they really don’t need it).

    I have always been fascinated with Asian Culture so needless to say I absolutely love these designs! And I’m an Aries and our color is Red so it makes sense I always gravitate toward that color!

    We have never celebrated the Lunar New Year nor any variation of it. There are no relatives of Asian descent in our family. We do shop at Best Buy, though.

    The cards are very pretty and I would buy them just for that reason. I fall in the year of the monkey which I don’t love (I’m actually kind of scared of monkeys!), but according to the internet (so it must be true!) those of us born in this year are “witty, intelligent and have a magnetic personality.” Well, not to brag, but…… 🙂

    How fun to live in a place where they celebrate Chinese New Year/Lunar New Year. Where I grew up, it was just a mention with some pictures in our Weekly Reader.

    Yes, Thanksgiving is going to be here before you know it. I wish I could slow it down a bit.
