Young lovers in Beijng are no longer satisfied with transmitting love
letters and holding romantic candle dinners. Currently, their favorite
love tokens are made by themselves, the DIY love tokens.

Some of them print the names or pictures of their sweethearts on
T-shirts, mugs or even underwears, which is an easy and economical way to
DIY their exclusive love tokens. Others make potteries, candles or
chocolates together, but these usually require a little more complicated
techniques and skills, and are also more expensive.

Nowadays, DIY love token workshops can be found on nearly all the major
streets in Beijing. They do not only supply necessary materials and tools
for lovers to make their own tokens, but also sell finished products.

Xixi loves this way of showing love to her boyfriend, thus she has
printed their pictures on two underpants, one for herself, and the other
for him as a birthday present. Her boyfriend must be deeply impressed
when he gets the precious present.

Miss Li and her boyfriend made a print of their palms on the first
anniversary of their courtship. "It's so romantic, and all my friends
envy me," Miss Li beamed.

A college student majoring in economics said that love economy had
already entered the DIY stage, as it would be the best and romantic way
to show their unique and indispensable love towards each other. "The
popularity and the high price of the service of these DIY love token
workshops will sure become another growth point in the national economy,"
he added.
