The 21 Best Lunar New Year Gifts to Give in 2023

• What's Included: One nonstick ceramic coated skillet, a steamer basket insert and a wooden spatula.

Let’s just get one thing out of the way: This all-in-one skillet is so good, it’ll replace your entire 16-piece cookware set. It scored 93-points out of 100 in a PureWow100 review—and aside from its ceramic nonstick coating—the biggest draw to this pan is “its [included] steamer basket insert and custom wooden spatula that nests into the built-in spoon rest,” according to food editor Katherine Gillen. So, in preparation for the New Year’s feast, Our Place released its signature pan (plus a pot) in a festive, firecracker red—along with a stoneware rice bowl set and a spruce steamer that would be great to prepare dumplings with.

• What's Included: A limited-edition revival of Gucci's 1955 Horesebit shoulder bag

ICYMI, 2023 is all about classic, heritage designs—and this year, Gucci released a Lunar New Year collection—featuring a revival of delicate silks and vintage bags—to pay homage to the start of spring. See the shoulder bag above, which reinvents the brand’s 1955 Horsebit design with blue, white and classic camel stripes for a festive yet traditional touch (plus, peep number 15 on this list for another reinvented wardrobe staple from Ralph Lauren).

• What's Included: One dishwasher-safe bowl that showcases a rabbit emblem and characteristics of the Chinese zodiac written on the sides.

Here, a contemporary, ceramic bowl that showcases black dot patterns and a purple rabbit emblem at the center. What’s more, according to Cotton Colors’ website, “Those born in the years 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011 tend to be good judges of character as well as compassionate and modest with a good sense of humor…[some of these] characteristics [are] written on the outside [of the bowl], [and] it makes a unique and functional gift for the people in your life that are born in this zodiac year."

Speaking of luck, the Money Tree is perhaps the most fitting item for this year’s theme, where the plant gets its name from the positive energy and good fortune it brings to the owner.

Lastly, jot down the best of each life-changing idea.”

• What's Included: A set of platform slides with faux, polyester fur

As part of Marc Jacobs “The Year Of Rabbit” campaign, the designer created an ultra-plush, platform sandal that “symbolizes the blessings, greetings and good fortunes to come,” according to the brand.

• What's Included: Augustinus Bader's super-hydrating serum in limited-edition packaging

After awarding this serum 93 points out of 100 in a PureWow100 review, former editor Brianna Lapolla writes: “I read that [this serum] only takes four days to notice a change in your skin, and having tried hundreds of beauty products, I assumed it was a placebo effect if anything. But much to my amazement, my skin (which broke out like a 15-year-old during quarantine) was radiant, blemish-free and so much more hydrated after just a few days of use.” Needless to say, we’ll be gifting this limited edition red bottle to anyone who’s skin-care obsessed (and grabbing one for ourselves before it goes out of stock).
