Desiree de Wit Textiles
The handwoven peshtemal towels that this wonderful lady sells are 100% organic cotton, and can be used for many things, including after a long soak in the pool, on picnics, or even draped over your sofa. A true luxurious gift for that mother in your life. Contact the distributer on her WeChat (desireedewit) for more information.
A little bling is a can’t miss on this list of Mother’s Day gifts. I had my eye on these pieces for a while and they don’t disappoint. Antonia has a flair with her pieces that will just look good on any mother. These sunny earrings are one of these such pieces that we are drooling over. To see her work head over to the amazing spot at Pop-Up in Sanlitun.
This skin oil is all-natural cold pressed from the kernels of the argan tree. There is nothing added which makes it great all hair and body types. Mom will love this amazing oil that makes her skin feel soft, and her hair shiny. I have tried and tested this product and it has worked miracles on my face and sun burned neck. Oils start from RMB 50. Checkout safiaarganoil.com for more info.
Give her a subscription to this wine club, and get two beautiful wine glasses as a special extra present. This is a gift that will keep on giving, as the word subscription implies the wine keeps on coming. I wouldn’t mind receiving some bottles of wine on my doorstep, on a regular basis. The subscription is valid for 3 months and the prices vary from RMB 999 to RMB 1688. To follow up with some questions or place an order, email wine@sigwine.com.
