This Friday, Apple is hosting a one-day shopping event for Chinese customers looking to get a discount on iDevice accessories for Mac, iPod and iPad.

For iPhone owners, these Apple Store Exclusives include the Speck CandyShell for iPhone 4, the Nixon The Wire 3-Button Mic 8mm headphones, and the popular mophie Juice Pack Air for iPhone 4.

For Execs on the go, as Apple puts it, the company has on offer the iWatchz Timepiece Leather Watchband for iPod nano (6th Gen.), the iPad Smart Cover Leather - (PRODUCT) RED, and the Thule Sleeve for MacBook Pro.

Products that may concern the entire family include the WiFi body scale by Withings, the LARK Un-Alarm Clock and Sleep Sensor, and the Griffin Crayola ColourStudio HD.

Other gifts include the Mobee Magic Charger for Apple Magic Mouse, and Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011 Family Pack. Toys, like the Parrot AR.Drone (four-propeller helicopter) are also available under the program.

For audio buffs, the Sennheiser Adidas PMX 680i headphones with Remote Control and Mic may be just the right gift. For a home office, Apple recommends the Bose Companion 20 Multimedia Speaker System, if you’re a little short on audio hardware.

Apple’s official announcement is reproduced below.

The Year of the Dragon is just around the corner.

Don’t miss the special one-day Apple shopping event on January 6.

Come back to the Apple Online Store this Friday for the special one-day event. You’ll find amazing iPad, iPod, and Mac gifts for everyone. Until then, start browsing the Apple Online Store or visit the Apple Retail Store, where a Specialist will help you with some great gift ideas.

The initiative is similar to Black Friday, a special shopping event mostly celebrated by U.S. residents. In a typical manner for the Cupertino company, Apple offered relatively minor discounts last year on devices like the iPad and iPod touch.
