What do you look forward to this Chinese New Year? Ask this question to your loved ones and you're sure to receive a rainbow of answers. Good food comes to mind for many, as does family time, spectacular fireworks and even that fifth consecutive round of a card game well past midnight.

Is it any surprise that at Singapore Tatler, shopping is on top of our list? (Don’t answer that.)

In our defense, it really is one of the best times to do some retail therapy. Cherry blossoms and lanterns line the walkways and you earn double the rewards doing what you love. We’re talking specifically about The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, where you’ll catch us buying that mini cross body Proenza Schouler bag and Tiffany & Co. ring sometime between 16 January and 5 February.

During that period, not only are stores open from the 28 to 30 January, members of Marina Bay Sands’ loyalty programme, Sands Rewards LifeStyle—sign up is free and fast—will earn twice the rewards (6%) at over 200 outlets. The offer spans beyond fashion brands; dining, entertainment and hotel are in on it too.

And hey, did we mention complimentary parking at The Shoppes when you shop?
