1) Classical Bamboo Gongfu Tea Set
(Alright, this one does require a trip to the kitchen, but hopefully someone besides mom will do the honors). Made from purple clay, Xixing Teapots are famous throughout Asia for their tea brewing capabilities. The clay absorbs the flavor of the tea; legend has it that you can brew a passable cup of tea from a seasoned Yixing teapot by simply adding water to it. The set comes with 1 brewing teapot, 1 aroma teapot, 6 aroma cups and 6 drinking cups.

2) Lucky Bamboo in Glass Vase
According to legend, a gift of bamboo will bring good luck to the recipient. Native to South-east Asia, this relative of the citrus is known for its distinctive sword-shaped leaves. The bamboo plant has seven stalks and comes in a glass vase with black "river stones."

3) Chopstick Lamp
Something different for the living room - this round, elegantly dsigned table lamp has a shade that is made from recycled sterilized chopsticks.
