Located at causeway bay is this gift store. The first time I chance upon it was through other…read moresocial media sites. This store carries various character goods. I am more of a Disney fan and hence head towards the Disney and Tsum Tsum sections. This store also carries Tokyo Disney resort (Disneyland and Disneysea) goods including Unibearsity (Japan only plushies and different clothes). You can either walk in or contact them through their social media sites. If you would like to do overseas shipping, you will need to pay them extra. Overall, if you have young kids or a Disney fanatic like myself, do drop by this gift store ;)

At APM, LOG-ON is right next to Muji which is next to H&M. And this floor is like my third home. My…read moresecond home being YATA grocery store downstairs. If we don't count work as my second home. LOG-ON at every location is different because it depends on size. At the larger malls like Festival Walk, LOG-ON is freaking amazing. Anyways the APM one isn't so shabby, because I've visited it plenty. 1) First, you'll see the "Stuff of the month" counter with a lady presenting whatever stuff that's new and will disappear next month. For example, aroma therapy stuff. 2) Behind this lady is the girl's section: hair, makeup, masks 3) to your left are shelves of small box toys. From puzzles to collectables. If you look closely, it's actually JUST puzzles and collectables. Some plush. From there, you'll face 4) backpacks 5) umbrella's 6) fitness stuff like yoga mats, more aroma therapy, stretching bands 7) small kitchen gadgets, like bento panda molds and ice-cube molds Then, continuing this path (to the left and back of the store) 8) the men's section!!! Here it is, you're welcome! It's laughably small, I wouldn't shop here. 9) travel-size items 10) more backpacks 11) MOLESKINE 12) pens 13) cards!!!! and other papery. Very pretty! The makeup isn't overpriced. It's the same price as Sasa. Really. There is a Line Moleskine notebook here!! Other LOG-ON stores will have THE SAME STUFF, just MORE of them but not always more brands.

Langham Place is a stunning, modern, multilevel shopping complex right in the heart of Mong Kok…read more The futuristic architecture and massive indoor escalators are definitely impressive. However, this shopping centre gets intensely packed. We visited on a Monday, and it was still way too crowded inside. The combination of the heavy crowds and the unique spiral layout actually made me feel a bit dizzy while navigating the floors. On the plus side, there is a great variety of shopping options, from upscale retailers to trendy boutiques, along with a movie theater and plenty of standalone restaurants. That being said, the actual food court area felt surprisingly small for a mall of this scale. We ultimately didn't spend much time here because it was a bit overwhelming, and we preferred to walk around the vibrant open-air spots nearby in Mong Kok. It is worth a quick look for the design, but be prepared for major foot traffic.

Popular is a chain bookstore that originates from Singapore and has locations in several Asian…read morecountries and Hong Kong. This location is on the third floor of Pioneer Centre in Mong Kok. The store is moderately sized, not on the scale of Eslite. The books sold here are in Chinese, but some of them (ex. cookbooks) have English translations in them. I did not see any magazines or newspapers, so don't come here for those. They do carry a selection of music and DVDs though it is not on the scale of HMV. Though these days, the selection there is getting smaller. And the offerings do not seem to be the most current. Since I can't read Chinese and the entertainment selection did not appeal to me, what garners three stars is their selection of stationery. The stationery here seemed mostly imported from Japan or Japanese inspired. What appealed most to me is their selection of imported Japanese pens. There is plenty varieties to choose from and they have test papers for you to scribble on to see if the pens are for you. They are slightly marked up, but not by much. Certainly not double the price like at one bookstore here in Seattle. If you are looking for Japanese stationery, check out Popular. It is the main reason I would come here.

On a Sunday, we had to make it through the maze of sales guys pushing condos before boarding the escaltors to get to the 3rd floor, but other than that, the bookstore provided what I was looking for. Not a big selection of greeting cards, but some. This store is half bookstore (not in English for the most part) and half gift/office supply store (wrapping paper, notebooks, pens/pencils, pads, toys, themed product lines of stuff, music CD's, puzzles, etc). Not a bad bookstore, but not the best either. Seems to be a chain of sorts.

As noted in some information I saw, the HKTDC (Hong Kong Trade Developement Council) mission is to promote creativity, innovation and product excellence. They showcase the newest and best products of Hong Kong designers and brand manufactures. They use the gallery to launch and test market products and build brand awareness among international clientele. Local as well as an interesting concept....I like that. Quirky, fun, MOMA type gifts for self, spouse, friend or kid. As noted the great tunes playing on the showroom floor (an ambiance perk for a retail shopper!), you can browse everything from a cat shaped purse to a chicken electric kettle. From the bizarre to the functional, this store has a little something for everyone. They appear to have shop operations here a the Convention Centre, at the Departure Hall of the airport and also PMQ in Central.

OK, I get it, you need to get a gift for a friend back home, but you have absolutely exhausted…read moreLadies Market. There is no more Hong Kong tat that you can buy, now that you have already gifted the chopsticks in the little silk sleeve, the fake Mulberry bag, the belts that hide away your money, the waving fortune cats - arghhh, who would have thought you would run out of rubbish presents to buy! If this is indeed you, I would thoroughly recommend a visit to the HKTDC Design Gallery in the Convention Centre, Wan Chai. This haven of "stuff" is all 100% designed in Hong Kong, which means it is just that bit more genuine then those tea sets from Stanley Market. With a focus on young HK designers, and local brands, this is about as Hong Kong as you can get. Sure, the range of products is quite eclectic, anything from jewellery and iPhone cases, through to plates and lacquered boxes, and the designs themselves range from funny and childlike cartoon characters, through re-imaginings of historical photographs from Hong Kong. But this does make it an ideal place to shop, because you are bound to find something that you like. For me, it is a great place to buy greeting cards, and small gifts to take home. They even have a shop in the airport, in case of last-minute visits to Auntie Norah - you can't visit your auntie empty-handed now, can you? The prices of the products vary as much as their range. Nothing is too expensive, but in the same vein, nothing is particularly cheap. The products are very well-made, though. There is an ethos and focus on being a gallery, but I don't think it really resembles a gallery at all. The store is a retail store - bottom line, but if calling themselves a gallery helps shift a few more silicon ice-trays, then call yourself Dave for all I care.
