I’m at the age where all of my friends are having kids, and I’m always looking for a great shower gift that is going to be functional for both mom and baby. Shanghai Tang’s Little Lantern collection seems like a good choice, as it consists of photo frames, photo albums, gift sets, baby blankets and accompanying baby clothes.
The Little Lantern collection is inspired by the Lantern Festival that takes place in China each year when children go out at night to temples carrying paper lanterns. The festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year and has been a celebration of families since ancient times.
Gift Set – Photo album, Frame, Mug and Card in a Woven Box covered with embroidered silk ($315)
When it comes to clothes, I’m always partial to the mandarin collars and find Shanghai Tang’s pieces timeless, yet functional and I love that it comes in colors for both boys and girls.
