Chinese New Year is fast approaching which will welcome the Year of the Tiger, and to help celebrate H&B have rounded up some great budget ideas to help bring a touch of oriental celebration to your home.
Chinese Lanterns
While Chinese sky lanterns have recently been highlighted by the National Farmers Union as dangerous to livestock, these static Chinese lanterns from Cox & Cox won’t cause any trouble.
At just £8 for 12, we think they make a really cute and affordable decorative item.

Bargain Wok
Eating in is the new dining out apparently, so if you want to invite your friends over for a Chinese feast get investing in this bargain steel wok .
Available from bargain lovers’ favourite, Asda, it was just £6 to begin with, but the price just got better, reduced to just £4.50.

Chinese Cookery Book
You’ve got the wok, but perhaps you’re lacking the expertise? No problem, Ching-He Huang is on hand to help with her book ‘Chinese Food Made Easy’ based on the popular BBC cookery series.
It’s got loads of easy-to-make recipes to help your oriental banquet go with a swing, and best of all the price has been slashed by 80%.
Originally £20, WH Smith is currently offering it for just £4.

Tiger print cushion
Okay, this one caused a little controversy among the H&B team with some folk feeling this was a little more Bet Lynch than Chinese New Year. But we are about to enter the Year of the Tiger so what better way to mark it than with a faux suede tiger print cushion ? Priced at just £8 from A Bentley Cushions it won’t break the bank.
