A. Weekly Planning Sticker Kit (Matte Paper) - This weekly sticker kit features box stickers that are 1.5" wide, meaning it's sized for many weekly planners like our A5W and B6 planners, Printpression's, Erin Condren, Happy Planner, etc. This is the most popular sticker kit option and can be used flexibly in most planners. It is also the one to choose if you don't have a planner at all - as it contains stickers that can be used with other items in the box ;)

B. Journaling Sticker Kit (Washi Paper) - This sticker kit features more freeform and decorative stickers that work well in journals, in planners with smaller columns (like the Hobonichi Cousin, Midori, etc), and in bullet journals and more! This kit is printed on washi sticker paper, which means the stickers blend beautifully into any paper you put it on. If you prefer a freeform aesthetic in your planner, you love having your stickers look like they're printed into your planner, or you have a planner with off-white colored paper or Tomoe River paper, this is the kit for you.

🏮 Celebrate the Lunar New Year with the Dimsum Steam Team! 🐰

It's that time of year again!!! Celebrate Lunar New Year with the Steam Team in the Year Of The Rabbit! I've been designing for the last 3 months — not to mention brainstorming all year — to bring you... our BIGGEST and BESTEST Lunar New Year Advent Calendar yet for my Zodiac Year!!! 🥰 Introducing our 2023 calendar... The Year Of The Rabbit!!

This is our fourth annual Lunar New Year Advent Calendar, and it remains my favorite thing I design all year. Join me in celebrating my favorite holiday growing up and the most important holiday in my culture. Lunar New Year marks the start of a new year in the Chinese lunisolar calendar and is celebrated throughout Asia and in Asian communities worldwide. In China, this celebration lasts for 15 days and is referred to as the Spring Festival. As such, our advent calendar will last for 15 days.

In 2023, Lunar New Year starts on January 22! Our Lunar New Year Advent Calendar will help get you, your planner, and your home ready for a lucky and prosperous new year. Every day for 15 days starting January 14, you'll open up an item that will pay tribute to a different Lunar New Year tradition or ritual and learn a little bit about the history and meaning behind the tradition. Together, we'll discover what we need to eat, what we need to do, how we need to decorate, what we need to wear, and more to make sure we usher in a lucky, joyous, and prosperous new year! I've been learning so much about my own culture over the last two years of putting together the calendar—I hope you learn a ton too! The Steam Team and I are so excited to usher in the upcoming Year Of The Rabbit with you!! 😍❤️🐰

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is Lunar New Year?
Lunar New Year is the start of a new year in the Chinese lunisolar calendar and is celebrated throughout Asia and in Asian communities worldwide. In China, the new year's festivities last for 15 days and is called the Spring Festival, which is why our advent calendar is 15 days!

2. How does a Lunar New Year Advent Calendar work?
Like you'd do with a Christmas advent calendar, starting a week before Lunar New Year's Day, you'll open up one item that will pay tribute to a different Lunar New Year tradition or ritual and learn a little bit about the history and meaning behind the tradition. Together, we'll discover what we need to eat, what we need to do, what we need to wear and more to make sure we usher in a lucky and prosperous new Year Of The Rabbit!

3. Oooh okay, well, what's IN the advent? 
There will be a huge variety of products!! There will be planner items, home goods, accessories, and more. You'll find a lot of the items that you know and love currently in our shop (like stickers, washi, enamel), as well as a variety of products that have never been seen before and will ONLY be in the advent. ;)

4. I want to see!!
It's a surprise!! While this year's box will remain a secret until you open it and the items will be different from previous years 😉 you can take a look at all of our boxes from 20202021, and 2022 to get a sense of the variety of products by joining our Facebook group and navigating to the photo albums! You can also watch our saved Instagram video walkthrough of the previous year's boxes!
5. If my family doesn't celebrate Lunar New Year, is this still for me?
Yes!! If you love learning about different cultures, if you love the Dimsum Steam Team, if you love the thought of having a new present to open every day in the middle of dreary winter, this is for you. Whether you grew up celebrating or are totally new to the holiday, you'll learn something you didn't know before, you'll receive a ton of fun, exclusively designed products, and you'll join a worldwide community of dimsum lovers celebrating as we all open our advents together in January 2023. :)

6. Can I open the box with my kids?
Absolutely! The products themselves are not geared towards kids, but many parents and teachers have said that they and their little ones had a lot of fun opening their advent calendars and learning about each day's traditions together!

7. How different is this box from previous year's boxes?
I vary what goes into each box so that both new and old customers will be surprised! Each year has both new designs and new products, although we may have some of the same TYPES of products (like stickers and washi!) ALSO!! This year!!! I am super excited because it is my zodiac animal!! The Year Of The Rabbit!!! And I LOVE how the designs came out. I am on the edge of my seat dying to show you (but I will resist!)

8. Will any items come to the shop individually?
Yes! But only after the advent items are opened. Day 1 items, which will include everything you need to decorate your planner and is meant to be opened immediately upon receiving your box, will come to the shop in late December. Days 2 through 15 will come to the shop after Lunar New Year on January 27, 2023.

9. I'm ready to buy!!! Anything else I should know?
Yay!! The box is currently available to pick up on preorder. That means it won't ship until mid-December. Don't forget that you can't have any other items in your order besides the advent. This is so that we can ship them as fast as possible.

That's it! I'm so happy you've decided to pick an advent up :) I can't wait to open the box with you all in the new year and hear what you think!!

TESTIMONIALS

"It was literally the most creative advent I’ve ever purchased. So well thought out, the attention to details was amazing. The variety was also great to see in an advent. Most of the time advents comes with very similar items. This was super fun to open up!"

"This is the cutest thing EVER. I am so grateful that you offer this product. I love all things "cute", like planner stickers, stationery, pens etc. But for it to be incorporated with a part of my heritage (I'm Chinese) so that I can create new traditions with my daughter (5 year old), is just priceless. I learned so much through the conversation we had with my parents. It was amazing to see my parents (gung gung & pau pau) tell my daughter all about their experiences with CNY growing up in Hong Kong. We LOVED watching your Instagram Stories and hearing you speak Cantonese (seeing your family made me feel at "home" with all the chaos and "Chinglish")! My daughter would ask me "can we watch Wonton In A Million, Mommy?" every day during the two weeks. I really hope to celebrate CNY with this kit every year for FOREVER :) I didn't realize how much we needed a CNY advent calendar - they have them for Christmas, so why not CNY?"

"From the get-go of WIAM's announcement that there'd be an Advent Calendar this year also, I was really impressed by the entire customer/client experience. The WIAM Team communicated clearly and transparently about everything (pre-order process, shipping/delivery, the purpose around starting the advent on a specific date prior to 2/12, etc) and as a consumer, it demonstrated how intentional the WIAM team was thinking about every piece of the process. I liked how unique the advent calendar gifts were also and the quality of many of the gifts."

"This is my second time purchasing this LNY advent calendar, everyday is a surprise! Just when you don’t think it gets any better, it always does!! Love the attention to details Cyn and the team has!"

"I grew up celebrating lunar new year but learned so much I didn’t already know. Also did it as a family with my sister and my nephew & they had a blast with it as well. On days we weren’t able to see him we would open it together over Facetime!"

PROCESSING: Our current processing time is always listed in our site header. Processing refers to how long it takes us to prepare your order before it's shipped out.

We always try to beat our processing times, but this will give you a sense of when to expect your order to ship out from Wonton HQ!
