1. Pose with your “Hong Baos”
For many of us, “Hong Baos” (Red Packets) are the stars of CNY, bringing the sweet, sweet promise of free money sitting inside each one. To show how much you appreciate them – and recycle those now-empty packets , gather your friends, relatives and cousins to show off your Hong Baos!
2. Creating A CNY Photo Spot
Not doing as much visiting this year? No worries — you can still CNY-fy your space for a great stay-home Chinese New Year and create the perfect OOTD backdrop. Decorate your set with pops of red or gold, baskets of oranges and artificial plants such as cherry blossoms or pussy willows to bring out the CNY atmosphere! You could even dress up your family up in tradition Chinese clothing to further immerse yourself in the festivity. Not only will these tips make your photos more fun and less formal, they make great Instagram-worthy posts.
