There’s often a lot to carry when you’re out visiting during CNY, be it lipstick and concealer for quick makeup fixes, your angbao haul or those token mandarin oranges.

E-angbaos might be a thing, but I think we can all agree that nothing feels better than receiving cold hard cash whenever our relatives come around. If you’re torn between tradition and wanting to be sustainable, you’ll want to get your hands on City Square Mall’s eco-friendly red packets.
Not only are the red packets made from FSC-certified paper, but they also come with cute little dollar bill-like greeting cards that are plantable. These paper greetings have been infused with seeds during production, and they will bloom into wildflowers with some TLC. Simply spend a minimum of $108 to redeem a set of six.
Hit a minimum spend of $168 to redeem an additional $10 CDL voucher and merchant voucher pack, which you can use at any CDL mall such as Palais Renaissance and Quayside Isle.

The festivities don’t stop there. For every $50 spent, you stand a chance to be one of the seven winners to bring home a True Fitness membership (worth $1,546) when you participate in HarbourFront Centre’s Prosperity Lucky Draw.
