SAVI'S DREAM

QIXI GIFTS

Words: Raymond Yao

Searching for the perfect Qixi gift? Fear not: we talked to Fashion Blogger Savi to find out how she’ll be celebrating Qixi and what she’ll be gifting her fiancé, as well as asking her to pick her favourite gifts from selfridges.com.

How will you be celebrating Qixi this year?

If the cinema is open by the time it’s Qixi, I’d really like to see a movie. We used to visit the cinema on a weekly basis, so it’s like our little date-night routine – and it’d be great to resume some normality. If not, we’ll go hiking up the mountains to see Beijing at night-time – it’s a great way to spend Qixi. 

What gift are you getting your fiancé, Yesheng (we won’t tell, promise!)?

Well, I’m hoping to get him the Gucci wallet, Off-White belt and Georg Jensen candleholders that I’ve picked below. 

What kind of gifts do you like to give?

I normally give Yesheng electronic products, which he prefers. But I think it’s the thought that went into the gift that matters. 

What do you love about Qixi? 

I love that it’s a traditional festival. The fact that it’s in summer also means your celebration will be on a balmy, summery evening, which is quite romantic.

Have you any idea what your fiancé might be getting you?

I think he will be getting me jewellery, but I’m looking forward to a surprise!

SAVI'S FAVOURITE QIXI GIFTS FOR HER

 

When the music and scent are spot on, I can enjoy staying at home all day. Rose of No Man’s Land from Byredo has a very subtle rose aroma that’s not overpowering – just like blossoming roses. It’s a scent I’d happily wear throughout the year.

 

Jewellery is my secret to rounding off a look. For summery looks, I love wearing oversized earrings. These earrings have a vintage feel and would look great with any outfit.

I’ve been eyeing up this Bottega bag since I first saw it in Tokyo. Daniel Lee has been challenging the ‘classic’ designs everyone associates with the brand, combining the heritage intrecciato technique with a modern silhouette. It’s a statement piece that’s easy to wear.

SAVI'S FAVOURITE QIXI GIFTS FOR HIM

 

Yesheng and I love this brand – especially its simplistic, streamlined design. These candleholders will look great on a dining table or bookshelf – definitely a nice way to spruce up your home.

 

Digital payment is everywhere in China, but we still need a nice wallet to carry bank cards and driving licence. I’ve chosen a practical, understated option here for Yesheng.

Yesheng likes athleisure style, so I think a nylon belt from Off-White is nice for his everyday looks, as opposed to a leather style.
