It's 2023 and nearing the monumentous event on the Chinese lunar calendar on Jan 22.
In all my years on this planet, I've never purchased anything from a store such as this. I've walked in and looked around , but never made a purchase. Today was different. I bought stuff. $7.50 in total, tax included. It's the incoming 兔年, and I'm decorating/plastering my front door.
This store is not for the masses. It's for the Chinese that want to put up traditional Chinese banners welcoming the new year. Or just to put up banners in general.
$2.00 each for 揮春
$0.75 each for 利是封 aka 紅包 for you Mandarin speakers
The product is old school. 婆婆 would be the one buying stuff here. None of the more modern decor interpretations that you may find at T&T is here.
福字揮春, check
紅燈籠, check
利是封, check
There's other stuff in here, but they've got you covered for your 過年 festivities
Reasonably cheap, guy behind the counter seemed helpful to customers. I just may find myself here again.
Cash only i think. read more
