3. Chang & Biorck
The clean lines and sophistication of Scandinavian design breathe new life into Chinese motifs here at Chang & Biorck. Their household items are of high quality, if a little pricey. Impress the newlyweds with a set of silk and linen cushions (RMB 300 each) or enamel bowls (RMB 400 each).
Location: Sun City Bldg 3, Suite 410, No. 18, Xinzhongjie, Dongcheng District
Tel: 010-84472735
Web: www.changbiorck.com
4. Beijing Municipal Seal Arts Company
This state-owned enterprise has been hand-carving seals on semi-precious stones for over 60 years. They promise to carve anything your heart desires for a reasonable price (between RMB 200 and RMB 2,000 depending on the type of stone), such as the couple's names, an auspicious Chinese character or even English greetings. Machine-carved rubber stamps available starting at RMB 30.
Location: Beixinqiao Yinzhang Shangdian, No. 43, Dongsi Beidajie, Dongcheng District Tel: 010-64002879
5. Double Happiness Gift Registry
Gift registries are a decidedly Western custom. Most shops in Beijing carrying high-end brands will comply with a registry only if the couple takes pains to explain the whys and hows. Try this Hong Kong-based online gift registry for reliable service. All items deliverable to the mainland.
