you know why
Lunar New Year starts on the second new moon after the winter solstice. 2026 was the Year of the Horse, starting on 17 February. 2027 is the Year of the Goat, also called the Sheep or Ram, and it starts on Saturday 6 February. The celebrations run fifteen days, ending with the Lantern Festival.
Hundreds of millions of people travel home for the reunion dinner, and plenty can't make it. Plenty of red envelopes go by phone now. A Wrapped is a red envelope with a story attached: your year in messages, a letter and the gift hidden under a scratch card.

Questions
What's a good Lunar New Year gift for my girlfriend or boyfriend?
A red envelope with a story. A Wrapped turns your chat into a year in numbers, adds a letter and photos, and a scratch card can reveal the gift. It goes as one link, so it works even when you're celebrating in different cities.
When is Lunar New Year 2027?
Saturday 6 February 2027, the start of the Year of the Goat. In 2026 it was 17 February, the Year of the Horse.
Can I give a red envelope through it?
You can reveal one. Put the amount or the gift under the scratch card. The money itself goes the usual way, by hand or through your payment app.
Does it work for Tết and Seollal too?
Yes. The slides are yours to write, in any language. Add your greeting, your family's dishes and your own customs.
Is my chat private?
Yes. Your phone reads the export and only numbers and short phrases are saved. The page is hidden from search engines.
