Friend, you must have heard Chinese Red Envelope. Red envelopes or red packets are gifts to give during Chinese social and family gatherings such as the Chinese New Year and other special occasions. The red color of the envelope symbolizes good luck and is supposed to ward off evil spirits.

There are no clear literary sources to trace the origin of the red envelope tradition. In China, during the Qing Dynasty, the elderly would thread coins with a red string. The money was called "Yasui Qian" meaning "money warding off evil spirits", and was believed to protect the elderly from sickness and death.

During Chinese New Year, red envelopes are typically given to the unmarried by the married, regardless of age. For the ones we send you, you can either give them to your best friends, or keep it as gifts to yourself, or even use it for stamping and scrapbooking.
