As the Year of the Rabbit darts away, the Year of the Dragon opens with a roar. We hope that rabbit hops quickly.
The Year of the Dragon symbolizes luck, power, strength, and nobility. Like an episode of The Crown, it’s regal and ready to reign. And also like The Crown, the merch opportunities are endless, as evidenced by the best Lunar New Year gifts we could find for 2024.
From decanters to cookie jars, these dragon-themed presents have our shopping carts fired up. Our credit cards may not be fully recovered from the holidays just yet, but that’s a problem for next month us. The list below has our full-scale approval. Heh heh. Get it?
