You already celebrated one new year. Now, you get a second chance at a new start: Starting Sunday, January 22, the Lunar New Year kicks off with the Year of the Rabbit. Tied to the lunar calendar, it marks the first new moon, with festive gatherings happening amongst East and Southeast Asian cultures and beyond. Many kick it off with food- and drink-filled get-togethers, new clothes, and gifts; notably, brands like Fendi, Bottega Veneta, and Tatcha get in on the fun with unique limited-edition collections made especially for the occasion. We asked several people who will be ushering in the Lunar New Year for their favorite gift picks. Here’s what Daniel Martin, Jin Soon Choi, Chriselle Lim, and others will be giving—and some things we’re eyeing for ourselves, too.
