The gifting season has reached its peak and you’re looking for the perfect item for that friend or loved one with a penchant for the finer things in life. A little last minute perhaps, but we’ve got just the thing for you. 

The Shanghai Tang festive gifting collection has exquisite offerings that are just as covetable as their sartorial selections. A perfect blend of contemporary Chinese design and understated luxury, the exuberant designs and exceptional quality will captivate the senses and elevate any home or wardrobe, bringing warmth and pure joy to those who receive them. 

Each item in the collection echoes Shanghai Tang’s visionary founder Sir David Tang’s love for understated luxury and elegance. As an entrepreneur, one of his first ventures was the China Club, an opulent club that saw royals, celebrities, billionaires, socialites and celebrated scholars among its loyal clientele. The space was resplendent with Chinese works of art that were prominently displayed in its lavish, yet intimate interiors giving it the feel of a friendly sanctuary, much like David’s own home. 

This very sophistication is mirrored in the Shanghai Tang festive gifting collection. Not only are each of these pieces thoughtful gifts, they will also captivate the senses and make for memorable, special moments this festive season.

This is the perfect gift for someone who has been burning the candle at both ends. The relaxing Longjing Dew scent will envelope their senses to promote relaxation, boost energy and combat fatigue. Housed in a special glass jar, the scent opens with stimulating notes of green tea before winding down to a crisp heart of orange flower and jasmine and ending with sophisticated base notes of wood, musk and amber.

Meanwhile, the aromatic Oolong Glam scent refreshes the mind, soothes tension and relieves stress with its uplifting and wistful notes.

It also comes with a gorgeous porcelain cover that features the hand-painted Imperial Tea Garden motif designed specially for this collection. The cover itself is crafted using a special high-firing technique, to ensure its flawless hollow shape, in the city of Jingdezhen, which is famous for its porcelain wares. Use the cover to put out the candle or as a holder for trinkets.
