Year of the Rat Red Envelopes

What it is: A modern take on the traditional Chinese red envelope.

Why we love it: Chinese give monetary gifts in red envelopes (color of good luck) for special occasions such as Chinese New Year and weddings. These limited-edition, modern red envelopes add a unique flair and make your gift stand out from the rest. The laser-cut design was inspired by the ancient craft of papercuts, an original art form created in China. The 2008 edition features this year's zodiac animal, the Rat, which is a sign of leadership, charisma and order. Size: 4" x 2.85".

Who we'd give it to: Make this New Year extra lucky by giving Chinese New Year, wedding and graduation gifts in these beautiful, modern design envelopes.

Where to get it: From Designnight.com starting at a lucky $7.50.
