For a perfect personalised present…
For those looking to buy a gift for that person who seems to have everything, why not customise a one-of-a-kind item, just for them? At the Americas Pavilion guests can add the name of that someone special to an elegant scarf or create a distinctive travel bag. Shoppers can even get a bespoke figurine inspired by a partner, friend, family member or even a colleague. If those ideas don’t help, how about heading down to the Iran pavilion and getting a picture of a loved one made into a unique threaded portrait.
For a one-off fashion find…
If you’re shopping for a fashion lover, why not buy unique art statement piece that are sure to make any outfit pop! Check-out Road of Asia for endless options of exceptional Rattan bags made in Vietnam and Bali or stop by the Lebanon pavilion to take a look at one-off clutch bag designs made with different types of precious metal, stones and gems. If bags aren’t the thing, you’ll find the Egypt pavilion dripping in exquisite earrings collections.
For those totally in love with tea…
For tea lovers Global Village has got you covered. Visit the Palestine pavilion for hand-made copper tea sets, the Russia pavilion for uniquely crafted tea sets and the Oman pavilion for traditionally designed tea sets in every size you can imagine. Any of these options would go perfectly with the decadent freshly dried teas available at the China pavilion. For that something extra special you will most definitely ‘tealight’ your family at the Russia pavilion which is offering handmade and bespoke porcelain tea sets made by more than five craftsmen, each responsible for different patterns and materials.
For those interested in interiors…
Home is where the heart is, and if shoppers are looking for that perfect signature piece to live in a loved one’s home, then what better than a truly exquisite silk carpet from the Iran pavilion? Or how traditional woven rugs in all shapes and colours from the Syria pavilion? Shoppers can also find unique planters, tables, coasters, and so much more in the India pavilion, with every piece crafted with distinctive designs that are unique to the culture and heritage of rural artisan women from India.
