Five floors of…read morepost-it notes, pens, binders, book bags, printers, ink, glue, staplers, scissors, greetings cards, craft stuff...the list is really endless. In lue of going on and on, let me highlight simply one section to make my point...the tape section! Masking tape, duck tape, two-sided tape, clear tape, packing tape, scotch tape, magic tape...a whole wall of tape! And this same principle of vast quantity and variety applies if you are at CN Square looking for push pins, pens or any office supply in between. Their entire ground floor is pens...a whole floor of just pens! This is a great office supply store!

Second floor - "Formal" office supplies such as folders, binders, calculators, etc...(soo many to name!) Third floor: for the "artsy do-it-yourself- fan" such as myself. Lots and lots of stamps, photo albums, limited scrapbook things but they have a good selection, gift boxes, etc... Fourth floor: A painters paradise. Lots and lots of different paints and brushes! Now, This is is just the general idea but I am sure you will find what you need here. Also, lots of really nice gift ideas! Thank you CN Square for your existence! Move to Central! =)

They have a variety of jewelry boxes, cushions,mugs etc. Even if you are not looking to pick up something in particular its a fun place to look around although it's unlikely you ll walk out empty handed. However, you can definitely find similar stuff outside at a cheaper price but you would need to be conscious about the quality.

It's the sort of place you would wander into on a hot Saturday afternoon to get out of the heat, but then end up in there for an hour playing with the cool trinkets and funky gadgets. You'd come here to buy one or two quirky things for your house, especially if you have had enough of the local flavour "OMG, not another set of chopsticks in a little silk purse", or gifts for the person who has everything. The products aren't particularly Hong Kong or local (unlike GOD), but still interesting anyway. The stores are piled high and somewhat crammed with stuff, so you will need a bit of patience to find that ideal gift. To give you an example of the sort of thing you can buy, why not try a bath whistle. This is a small plastic bird you half fill with water and then blow into. The water makes a chirping bird noise which is pleasant enough in the bath, but utterly useless! If the bird whistle doesn't interest you, how about a chair made out of radiators, or a massive wine cork stool? It's not cheap, I suppose designer gear isn't really supposed to be, but it is pretty. They do offer some wedding list services, but this seems to be in it's infancy as I found it hard to organise this with their head office. There are a couple of locations, one in Central and one in Wan Chai.

There are 5 Homeless stores in the city but if you live in Kowloon, the Tsim Sha Tsui branch is the…read moreone to go as it is the flagship branch. It is also less crowded than the branches on Hong Kong Island, so that's a plus. I consider it as in alternative to IKEA and Pricerite, especially when I want more quirkier home goods. Homeless has been going at it since 2003 when they had their first store. Two years later, they established their foothold in Hong Kong Island by opening a flagship store in Central. The most significant thing that I found out about furniture stores is the difference of how they make you feel at home. Homeless provides this atmosphere the most, with dim lighting and and a rustic feel. IKEA has it but mostly it feels like you are in a warehouse, while Pricerite is neat and clean that feels prefabricated. Aside from the furniture, my favorite thing about Homeless is the numerous choices of accessories. I have found pen stands, magnets, clothes hangers, and other cool bric-a-brac. The huge catalog that Homeless sells consists of lighting fixtures, various clocks, chairs and tables, art sculptures and kitchenware. They also carry niche furniture brands from Europe and Asia as well as other hard-to-find and obscure brands. I will be moving house late next year and plan to redecorate our flat with lots more of Homeless goodies this time around. Orders are also available through their official website but I recommend going to the various branches in town (especially the flagship stores) to get a feel of the product and how it may fit into your home.

Items seem to be different than in the US but the concept is the same. Great functional design, poor particle board construction.

You better start walking now as time is running out! Though it sounds sort of sarcastic, I promise you that I do not mean that. I really do like this place. It was my favorite hide and seek place when I was little. The store is humongous and it is indoor with air conditioning. No worry about sweating and stuff. And on top of that, it has all kind of stuff you can hide yourself in. The bathing section is my favourite. Joke aside. I believe IKEA really does provide good services for all. If you are looking for any kind of furniture or home appliances, it seems like you can also get them here with the help of professional staff here. Nowadays I believe the most popular place of the store has to be the Food Court. People keep saying that the meatballs are great, which I have a rather mix feeling about it. They are definitely not bad but are they really that good? Compared to the meatballs you can try else where in Hong Kong, I believe there are some better ones. Sometimes the food here is served cold unfortunately, which tastes like canteen food. Anyhow, I still do love this place. So, not really complaining.

Located at the top levels of The One in TST, I wasn't even aware of the name of this shop at first. I just remember there is a place that was rather dim and sells mainly designer appliances and gadgets above the cinema of The One and is not a place that I would normally go. Nonetheless, when it comes to present giving seasons, this shop is always at the top of my list to go to; not least because there is some real originality in the items sold there and would make decent gifts. Thick card boards puzzled together into a stool? Check. Chessboard that is not flat but with creases and dimples? Check. Put it this way, for the items sold here, certain time has to be allowed before you can figure out what exactly the object is; that is what I call design with thoughts. This make the gifts that much more interesting as finding out how the thing actually works become part of the fun. I am most certain that if I am keen on decorating my room or have the say in what to put and how to put, the whole shopping experience would definitely be more engaging; yet the space and the placing of the items make it already enjoyable enough to just walk around and fussing around with the stuffs there.

I know I did, which kind of freaked my love out a bit. Anyways they have so much stuff here from umbrellas and lunchboxes to really cool clocks and neat organizing shelfs. I actually bought bento boxes here to bring back to the states because the quality seemed too good to pass up and I wasn't wrong. My sisters really liked them because they were from the brand black&baum i believed in england and they were just good. Yes, I know, I will stop boring you with details about bento boxes. They have a ton of cute stuff for your home and decor for random stuff too so be sure to check this place out if you care about living in style as well as practicality.
