As you know I’m half Chinese and the Lunar New Year is a big deal for my family. The food, the celebrations, the fireworks, and of course the dragon dance. I loved “feeding” money to the dragon as a kid for good luck for the new year.
If you didn’t know – this Lunar New Year is Year of the Dragon, which is my my year. Yeah! It only comes once every 12 years, so I’m really excited.
And I’m super excited about my giveaway! American Express is offering a Year of the Dragon gift card in honor of Lunar New Year. How cool is that? It’s available in $25, $50, $100 or $200 denominations. Best of all they don’t expire, there are no monthly fees, and they are replaceable for no fee if lost or stolen. That’s right – REPLACEABLE.
These cards are gorgeous, and a modern alternative to Chinese red envelopes. Interested in buying one? Go to AmericanExpress.com/gift. It’s just $3.95 to buy and available for free shipping until Jan. 31, 2012.

Date night with the wife!
I hate to be boring, but I would probably use it on groceries. But just to add a little spice, I’d use it for grocery items that are a bit more luxurious…things I like but don’t usually buy because they’re a little expensive.
Thanks!

Most likely it will go to groceries, because I’m practical like that.
