There are more and more foreigners come to China, they like buy Chinese characteristics as gifts for their family members and friends.

China cultural relics and curios are the most popular goods to them, but if you do not want to become a stupid person, I will not advise you to buy these old toys. Anyhow there’s nothing really old here.

There are a lot of curio shops around the Chang an Avenue, things in these shops are very expensive, we Chinese never shopping there, they do not fossick for Chinese clients too.

These curio shops fossick for foreigner clients mainly, they can get a very large profit in the deals.

Now, it wants less than 100 days to the Olympic Games, more and more foreigners come to China from all the world. The curio shops are preparing price hikes for exorbitant profits. So if you come to China, you muse beware when u are shopping.

So, what are the best gifts buy from China? I think Chinese Knot, The toys of 12 Chinese zodiac animals, Pu-erh Tea, Beijing snacks and Chinese Scented tea are all nice choices.

We wish to export ethnic African art to prospective shops and buyers.

Assorted bead work and hand crafted woodwork at the bottom end of the market starting from 10 pounds per item etc.

Also top end stuff hand crafted furniture,serpentine stonework up to about 2 000 pounds etc.

Photos can be arranged.

The favourable exchange rate makes this a very profitable business.

Please advise if you have interested buyers or distributors.

Thank you

TOM
