Feb. 19 marks the Lunar New Year in 2015, and although it's celebrated in different ways throughout the world, there are many similarities. The main one, perhaps, is hong bao, the red envelopes.

There are tons of incredibly creative red envelopes waiting to be appreciated. So share your favorites with us!
