Enter the Dragon! In 2024 Chinese New Year commences on February 10, ushering in the year of the Dragon, fifth symbol of the Chinese zodiac. The Dragon is a special sign, being the only imaginary animal in the Chinese zodiac. There are actually five Dragons: metal, earth, fire, water and wood. At Ugears we are especially excited that 2024 is the year of the Wood Dragon, an event that only occurs every sixty years! Dragons are said to be energetic, creative, diplomatic, and born leaders. Because Wood Dragons are associated with a living element, they are capable of great growth leading to an abundance of all the Dragon qualities.
The Ugears Wood Dragon is a 3D puzzle box and DIY model of a lucky dragon clutching a fiery red pearl in its left claw. The long, coiled, four-limbed Wood Dragon, styled after representations of dragons in Chinese art, sits atop a special stand with a hidden drawer that springs open when a secret button, disguised as a flower, is pressed (the drawer closes manually). The Dragon is completely detachable and can be stood up on any surface and admired separately from the stand. Store a secret message, fortune or small treasure inside the Wood Dragon's base. You could even place a special red envelope (known as 紅包, or hóngbāo) inside the drawer, enclosing a Lunar New Year's gift, then present the Wood Dragon with both hands and challenge the recipient to open the treasure box! 
Give the Ugears Wood Dragon as a very special gift for Chinese New Year 2024, either as a boxed set for your recipient to build, or build the model yourself and present the elegant Wood Dragon as a completed model, perhaps with a hóngbāo inside the secret drawer, for an extra special New Year's gift!
