Gifts for Him; Gifts for Her<\/h2>\n

For the men in your life, we have several interesting Valentine\u2019s Day gift suggestions; some romantic, some artistic, and some practical. For the woman in your life, well, we have gift suggestions in the same categories. When choosing for him or for her, the trifecta of gift giving is thoughtful, practical, beautiful. It\u2019s probably a little trite to talk about the \u201cwow\u201d factor, but, it\u2019s nice to find something that has it.<\/p>\n

Every Man Deserves a Happy Buddha<\/h2>\n

\"Happy<\/a>For a guy, a lover or a friend, husband or boyfriend, consider our selection of cast resin Happy Buddha statues<\/a>. We offer one of the largest collections of cast resin Japanese and Chinese art statues on the web, including mediation Buddha statues, Buddhist monks, Tang horse statues, as well as Foo dog lion book ends, to mention a few. These unique figures can add interest and charm to a man\u2019s bedroom or office. <\/p>\n

Some of the designs are rustic and antiqued, some have beautiful silver robes and distinctive jewelry. In ancient times, and to this day, people believe rubbing the belly of the \u201cLaughing Buddha\u201d can bring good luck. In general, Hotei (in Japanese), or Budai (in Chinese), has traditionally been thought to attract prosperity, a good thing for a husband or boyfriend, or whomever you give Valentine\u2019s Day gifts.<\/p>\n

Jade Tang Horse is a Masculine Gift<\/h2>\n

If you are thinking of a luxury gift, something for the man who has everything, consider a fine Jade Tang horse<\/a>. Jade adds an element of beauty and refinement; the classic Jade horse statue is a masculine, Tang dynasty art motif, thought to attract male \u201cChi\u201d; health and vitality associated with the fine, powerful stallions of the Tang dynasty.<\/p>\n

Practical & Beautiful for the Man with a Mess<\/h2>\n

\"Rosewood<\/a>If the man in your life could use a bit of organization in his, we can suggest beautiful gifts that help with personal storage. We offer an attractive, slightly masculine, excellent quality solid Rosewood jewelry case<\/a>, great dresser top storage of his watch, rings, pendants, bracelets, money clip, or wallet. Also, a delightful, unique pagoda top DVD\/CD media rack<\/a>, a practical gift for a gamer or music aficionado with opened CD & DVD cases on his desk and sometimes, his floor.<\/p>\n

Both of these storage gifts are decorated with the distinctive, auspicious, \u201cShou\u201d; an ancient, labyrinth like medallion, symbolic of a long, successful life. We also offer an elegant men\u2019s black luxury towel set<\/a>, with classic Shou symbols embroidered into the plush, luxurious Turkish cotton towels.<\/p>\n

For Her: Beautiful Alternatives to Candies, Flowers, or Jewelry<\/h2>\n

For the lady or ladies in your life, we offer a wonderful selection of interesting and elegant Asian design decorative accents and accessories, providing unique alternatives to candies, flowers, or jewelry, in case you\u2019ve exhausted those gift categories in years past.<\/p>\n

Fine Jewelry Boxes & Fine Porcelain for Fine Ladies<\/h2>\n

\"Tea<\/a>Browse our extraordinary (yet affordable) black, white, or gold leaf lacquered oriental jewelry boxes<\/a>, and our fine quality oriental flower vases & spice jars<\/a>. Consider our selection of beautiful cast resin goddess & geisha statues<\/a>, hand painted sumi-e love birds<\/a> and plum blossom wall art<\/a>, as well as pretty and practical tea trays<\/a>, tea tables<\/a>, and tea sets.<\/p>\n

The Romantic Double Happiness Kanji Symbol<\/h2>\n

Also, the Japanese or Chinese \u201cdouble happiness\u201d character, is a simple, subtle way to express your joy at sharing your life with her, and the happiness it has brought to you. We offer a carved double happiness wall plaque<\/a>, as well as a double happiness lamp<\/a>, with the double happiness symbol medallion decorating the porcelain jar that\u2019s been converted into an elegant oriental lamp.<\/p>\n

Written in Japanese kanji or as a classic Chinese character, the single \u201chappiness\u201d symbol is quite beautiful; but we think if you look closely you\u2019ll agree that the \u201cdouble happiness\u201d symbol is twice as beautiful. We offer this in a set of 4<\/a>; Double Happiness, Long Life, Prosperity, and Luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
