When it comes to buying gifts for my friend’s kids, I really try hard to find unique items that no one else would think of, but aren’t so obscure that the poor kid has to ask his parents what the heck it is.

Enter the Dumpling Dynasty Explorer Kit, one of a slew of super cool new Wu & Wu products from illustrator Fiona Hewitt and Asian kitsch expert, Andy Tainton. The funky retro-Chinese tin is filled to the brim with cool goodies like a magnifying glass, flashlight, knot-tying guide, metal compass, and notebook — all of which are sure to pique the interest of the lucky gift recipient, boy or girl. 

Chinese? Sure. But it’s still totally lacking in batteries, loud sounds, and plastic. -Kristen

Congratulations to Wu & Wu Explorer Kit winner, Emmie F!
