Love online shopping? You're likely to be familiar with Taobao, China’s biggest consumer-to-consumer e-commerce site.
Just this month, Alibaba Group launched its second Taobao Maker Festival to celebrate the “maker spirit” of these young entrepreneurs.
We were fortunate enough to meet some of the 108 merchants from the commerce-oriented social platform.
Here are some must-buys we've sussed out:
4. Plum Oil (梅花油)
This adorable store is inspired by the salted duck, a Nanjing specialty dish. What you’ll find are non-edible but nonetheless delectable creations like these duck cushions, available in ‘white’ and ‘roasted’ variations. As the various cushion sizes are made to support the neck or shoulder, they’re bound to make hilarious yet useful gifts.
