Have you found the perfect pig-themed gifts for the Year of the Pig yet? If not, don’t worry, we have you covered with these perfectly boarish – but far from boorish – CNY gift ideas.
Never one to disappoint keen horologists, Chopard has once again produced a commemorative watch for the coming Chinese zodiac year. This time round, the L.U.C. XP Urushi pays apt tribute to the incoming Year of the Pig via the classic Japanese handcrafted art of Urushi, a choice that certainly delivers a generous and fun-loving take on this potent beast. Despite the pig’s reputation of being something of an ungainly creature, its chronometric incarnation will prove a dainty addition to any wrist, while its Calibre 96.17-L movement will see the year tick by in fine style.
For its latest crystal collection – Paperweights – Saint Louis set out to ensure its 430-year legacy as France’s leading crystal manufacturer scaled new heights as it fashioned its own tribute to the incoming 2019 Chinese character – the ever-arch wholly-unpredictable boar. Embodying good luck and joy, its artfully-crafted Golden Pig comes in a delicate pink and white colour combo, with 24K gold embellishments.
Never one to fail to commemorate the onset of a new lunar year, Emperor Jewellery, one of Hong Kong’s favourite homegrown purveyors of well-crafted rare metals and precious stones, has announced the timely release of its Blessings Collection, an-all-new pure gold jewellery set in a series of adorable piglet designs. Said to all but guarantee a joyous and prosperous year, this family of pig ornaments and sleek gold bracelets seem undeniably wise and worthy buys.
Meanwhile, furniture brand TREE has introduced a family of adorable wooden pigs to ring in 2019, which work wonderfully as gifts or décor pieces to add a subtly festive touch to the home. From petite teak piglets to rustic, pig-shaped cutting boards, these boar-inspired designs are sure to be on the top of any fashion-forward homemaker’s CNY gift ideas.
Another brand which has come up with perfect pig-themed gifts for the Year of the Pig is Riedel. Particularly eye-catching is its Curly Pink Decanter, that’s inspired by the shape of a pig’s tail. Featuring a light hue of pink, the piece is crafted from crystal with a stunning yet challenging silhouette, hand-blown by the most experienced glass blowers. The coiled curl acts as a tool to open the wine up, allowing it to breathe. The decanter creates a series of air pockets which charge the wine with oxygen as it is poured, combining the very best elements of design with functionality.
