Every year, without fail, there is that familiar rush just before reunion dinner. Someone realises the abalone is not enough. Another discovers that the oranges meant for visiting relatives were never bought. Or perhaps the bird’s nest gift set intended for an elder is still sitting on a mental to-do list.
That is exactly where 7-Eleven Singapore quietly becomes the unsung hero of Chinese New Year.
From 12 to 15 February 2026, they are running a Chinese New Year essentials promotion that is genuinely useful — not just decorative festive snacks, but proper reunion dinner ingredients and gift-worthy items. For anyone juggling work, family visits and last-minute hosting duties, this is one of those practical deals worth knowing about.
Let’s go through why this promotion stands out and why it might just save someone’s reunion dinner this year.
Festive Gift Sets Without the Department Store Queue
First up are the New Moon gift sets. These are not random hampers; they are curated festive bundles from a brand many households already trust during CNY.
Shoppers can find:
-
New Moon Joyful Spring Set – $45
-
New Moon Prosperous Set B – $56.80
-
New Moon Gift Set – $62.80
The reality is that many people leave gift shopping until the final stretch. Department stores can be crowded, and specialty shops may close early. Having these sets available at 7-Eleven makes life significantly easier. They are compact enough to grab on the way to a visit, yet substantial enough to present respectfully during house calls.
For anyone heading straight from work to reunion dinner, this is a convenient option without compromising on presentation.
Reunion Dinner Must-Haves at Sensible Prices
Now, let’s talk about the item that often causes last-minute panic: abalone.
The LELE Braised or Brine Premium Abalone (425g) is going at $9.90. In Singapore, that is a very accessible price for abalone during the festive period. Anyone who has ever hosted reunion dinner knows that abalone symbolises prosperity and abundance. Running short is not ideal.
Being able to pop into a neighbourhood 7-Eleven to top up a can removes the stress entirely. There is no need to make a special supermarket trip if time is tight.
Then there is New Moon Bird’s Nest (Assorted) at $14.80. Bird’s nest is traditionally associated with nourishment and wellbeing. It is often gifted to elders or brought along when visiting relatives. At this price, it becomes an affordable yet meaningful gesture.
Also available is New Moon Essence of Chicken (6 bottles x 68ml) for $10.90. This is a practical gift option, especially for older family members or anyone who appreciates health tonics during the busy festive season.
All of these items are not just festive decorations. They are functional, culturally relevant and appropriate for reunion dinners and house visits.
The Orange Rush – Special 4-Day Prices
Of course, Chinese New Year without mandarin oranges is unthinkable. They symbolise prosperity and good fortune, and they are practically mandatory when visiting relatives.
For this 4-day special, shoppers can enjoy:
-
Hong Mei Ren 10s Carton – $8.50 (4-Day Special)
-
Lugan 18s Carton – $8.50 (4-Day Special)
-
Lugan (1 piece) – 3 for $2
-
Hong Mei Ren (1 piece) – 1 for $1.40, 2 for $2.40
These prices are attractive, especially for anyone who suddenly realises they need extra cartons for visiting. Instead of battling supermarket crowds, grabbing a carton at a nearby convenience store can save both time and frustration.
For smaller households, the single-piece promotions are practical. Not everyone needs a full carton. Being able to buy a few pieces at bundle prices is helpful for smaller gatherings.
Operating Hours – What You Need to Know
One of the strongest advantages of 7-Eleven during festive periods is accessibility. Most stores operate as usual during Chinese New Year. That alone makes this promotion incredibly convenient.
However, there are a few exceptions in the central area with adjusted hours. If someone is working in the CBD and planning to shop near the office, it is worth taking note.

Why It Is Worth Enjoying This Deal
There is something reassuring about knowing that even if plans go slightly wrong, there is a convenient backup plan nearby.
This promotion is not flashy. It is practical. It focuses on items that genuinely matter during Chinese New Year — abalone, bird’s nest, essence of chicken and mandarin oranges. These are staples, not novelty snacks.
For busy professionals, young couples hosting for the first time, or adult children suddenly tasked with buying extra supplies, this 4-day promotion removes stress. Instead of worrying about whether supermarkets will close early or whether stocks will run out, they can rely on a nearby convenience store.
Another important point is price accessibility. The promotional prices are competitive for festive essentials. During Chinese New Year, prices can escalate quickly. Being able to secure oranges at $8.50 per carton or abalone at $9.90 helps families manage festive expenses more comfortably.
Finally, there is the factor of timing. From 12 to 15 February 2026, this window captures the crucial pre-reunion rush period. That is when most last-minute purchases happen.
For those who are already planning their reunion dinner, it may be wise to take advantage early rather than wait until the final evening.
