🐉 "Long" Live This Majestically Cute Hongbao Set From NHB

12 January 2024

The National Heritage Board's (NHB's) Museum Roundtable (MR) Hongbao Campaign is back for its 10th edition. Last year's rabbit hongbao designs were hop-tastic, and this year’s dragon red packets are straight up 🔥.

Joining for the first time is the Char Yong (Dabu) Association Heritage Hall, one of the oldest Chinese associations in Singapore. Four other MR members are making a return this year: the Republic of Singapore Air Force Museum, the Singapore Navy Museum, the Singapore Maritime Gallery, and the Singapore Sports Museum.

To collect ‘em all, you’ll need to visit all of the 43 participating museums, heritage hotspots, and galleries between 12 Jan to 9 Feb. You’re entitled to one set of eight red packets, while stocks last.

Elevate your red packet game with this exclusive Collector's Box Set (shown above). This limited-edition masterpiece comes in a large gift box, complete with its own custom-designed bag – the perfect treasure trove display to show off to visiting relatives this CNY.

What's inside? Not one, but two complete sets of the 43 red packet designs representing the NHB’s MR members, plus one extra exclusive design for the National Heritage Board. The designs in the box set differ to the ones you collect from MR members, as these rock a distinct orange background, featuring dragons with subtle colour differences.
