Heart Wedding Bubble Tubes
1 recommendation
"I always liked the bubble send-off better than throwing rice, anyway! You could always switch out the ribbon if your colors weren't blue and white... and they even have some in smaller, more squat boxes that you could just put a personalized label on and call it good. =)"
Art Without Borders: A Philosophical Exploration of Art and Humanity
1 recommendation
""People all over the world make art and take pleasure in it, and they have done so for millennia. But acknowledging that art is a universal part of human experience leads us to some big questions: Why does it exist? Why do we enjoy it? And how do the world’s different art traditions relate to art and to each other?"- www.curatedmag.com This has moved to the top of my reading list."
Tangerines
1 recommendation
"Tangerines and oranges are usually set in bowls around New Years symbolizing good luck and wealth. There's a linguistic pun in the word "tangerine" because it sounds like "good luck" in Chinese."
Ferrero Rocher Chocolates
2 recommendations
"I'm not sure why I always see Ferrero Rocher chocolates in the Tray of Togetherness, but my guess it has something to do with the gold wrappers being associated with wealth or fortune. Anyway, I find them to be one of my favorites of the candy tray and pretty much acceptable for all occasions!"
Chinese Zodiac chart paper cut
1 recommendation
"There are a wide variety of paper decorations for the New Year, but my favorite are the intricate paper cuts.

Fire Crackers Decoration

"The Chinatown dragon dance parade is one of the most exciting parts of the celebration where colorfully crafted dragons will dance from store to store, lighting firecrackers in order to drive away evil spirits and bring properity and good luck.

Tray of Togetherness
1 recommendation
"“The Tray of Togetherness” (chyuhn haap) is a candy tray, typically in the shape of an octagon, that you fill with dried fruits and candies for guests and relatives. I found this one as part of an IKEA collection, but the more traditional trays are available in Chinatown shops. Each food is symbolic for various types of good fortune. My mom always put a red envelope (lucky money) in the center."

Devil's Playground
1 recommendation
"This is a must see documentary about Amish teens. When they turn 16, they go through a period called 'Rumspringa' where they get indulge in the outside world in order to decide whether they want to remain in the church as adults. Pretty cool, huh? Rather than coercing kids through fear they allow them the freedom to experience and choose. Unfortunately, many of the kids go overboard (some even be..."

Lavender Wedding Toss and Favors
1 recommendation
"Looking for an alternative to bubbles and afraid people will call you a bird killer if you use rice (even though it's an urban legend!)? I was at wedding recently that tossed lavender. I loved that idea. It smelled good and every bit of lavender I didn't throw I got to take home (talk about awesome). Plus lavender is symbolic for love and devotion. What more do you need in a wedding?"

1 recommendation
"I think this would be a nice starter for someone interested in trying traditional cycle prayers. Of course, it is a good travel-size edition for the vetern, but I am interested in this as a way to get started, and to always have "prayer seeds" to begin prayer when I am out and about."
Family Link
1 recommendation
"Inspiration of this ring comes from a Chinese tradition. Chinese women often wear the rings that they inherited from their ancestors. If the ring is too big, red silk thread is wound around the ring to make it the right size. The ring is worn so that the red thread is on the inside of the hand. This is done out of respect to the ancestors."

christmas pudding 'coins' (charms or tokens)
1 recommendation
"It's an old British tradition - seen in other countries as well - to put silver coins or sometimes other charms into traditional Christmas plum pudding. The idea is that if you find a coin in your piece of pudding you will have luck - especially with money - for the forthcoming year. These days because of the use of base metal coins the tradition is difficult to maintain. So I have created my own ..."
