AW Patisserie, Hong Kong’s renowned French dessert specialist, has announced the launch of its anticipated Lunar New Year (CNY) gift box collection for 2026, centering on their signature pistachio expertise and incorporating symbolic elements of good fortune. Available now through their online platform and various pop-up locations across the city, the collection features three curated boxes—the Auspicious Accomplishment Box, the Pistachio Sandwich Cookie Set, and the Fortune Gift Box—combining decadent Italian pistachio confections with limited-edition Japanese Maneki-Neko (lucky cat) blind boxes, appealing to both gourmet seekers and those embracing festive traditions.
The cornerstone of the 2026 CNY offering is the French patisserie’s celebrated use of high-quality pistachios. AW Patisserie, recognized for integrating this distinctive green nut into their European-style creations, ensures a luxurious sensory experience across the seasonal lineup.
Spotlight on Pistachio Delights and Early Bird Offers
Leading the selection is the Full Box of Festive Pistachio Sandwich Cookies (Early Bird Price: $298; Original Price: $368). This indulgent set contains 16 pieces of crispy butter cookies crafted from select Italian pistachios. The richness is amplified by a generous filling of 100% Sicilian pistachio paste, providing an intense, true-to-nut flavor profile, complemented by crunchy pistachio pieces for added texture.
For a combination of sweetness and symbolism, the Pistachio Sandwich Cookie and Lucky Cat Blind Box (Early Bird Price: $198; Original Price: $238) offers eight sandwich cookies alongside a unique Japanese Maneki-Neko figurine. Each of the nine collectible blind-box designs symbolizes a different auspice, such as “Good Fortune” (招福), “Amulet against Evil” (厄除), or “Financial Luck” (金運), making the box a popular choice for gifting and collecting.
Introducing Assorted French and Asian Fusion Treats
Expanding beyond cookies, the Auspicious Accomplishment Fortune Gift Box (Early Bird Price: $158; Original Price: $198) introduces an innovative line of financiers and madeleines. This set features four unique flavors of the classic French shell-shaped cakes: original lemon, double pistachio, peanut tangyuan (sweet glutinous rice ball), and matcha mochi. Both the pistachio and the peanut tangyuan variations include creamy, balanced fillings, marrying French baking techniques with favored Asian dessert flavors, and are also paired with a Maneki-Neko blind box.
For nut enthusiasts who prefer a lighter, crunchier option, AW Patisserie also offers hand-stirred caramel brittle options. The Hand-Stirred Caramelized Pistachio Brittle and Caramelized Hazelnut Brittle set (Early Bird Price: $128; Original Price: $198) provides buttery, non-greasy nut clusters, ideal for enjoying alone or as a topping for yogurt or ice cream, adding versatility to the festive snacking landscape. Each batch of brittle is carefully prepared by hand to ensure maximum crispness and richness.
