Note that you can find good value (low price) stuff. If you know what you want and what you are willing to pay for it. Buyer beware! Example is designer hand bags. Great looking knock offs for sure. But if you don't need the real thing. This place is a gold mine! The vendors set up and take down the stalls every night it seems. Crazy ton of work but once set up the market is quite busy and worth at least a stroll one evening. Another hidden gem are the brick and mortar stores and restaurants behind the night stalls. Plenty of food and misc businesses back there that are concealed by the night market stalls Don't expect much customer service. Bargain and be confident. Have fun!

This is well known especially if you have read about it in guides online or if you so happens to be…read moreChinese. It is the place for cheap knockoffs. Backpacks, both men's and women's wear, purses, shoes, towels, toys etc. There are several blocks so I would take your time visiting each one to get a feel for it. Don't immediately give in especially the first vendor you visit. Could be selling for too much. Though after a while, do start hassling. If it is too high then move on to the next one and the next one. However if they pull you back, then listen to them. Perhaps it's a good deal. It really depends on the particular vendor. Eventually I did an excellent deal. I recommend it going even once. Just follow the people heading that way. Or when you see it, you know you're in the right place.

You can find just about anything at Japan Home Centre, and usually at reasonable prices. There's a…read moregood range of products here (if you're willing to do a little searching), but there are some clear space issues. Too much stuff, not enough shelving to store it. I've been a few times where aisles were almost completely blocked because they were using the floor to store extra boxes they had no idea where to place. You can still navigate around it, but it can be a little claustrophobic.

PMQ 元創方 stands for Police Married Quarters. It's a historic site turned vibrant creative hub in Central, Hong Kong. Rebuilt in 1951 as the Police Married Quarters, the compound reopened in 2014 for local designers. The architecture is beautiful, the vibe is incredibly artistic, and it is the perfect place to support independent creators. A truly unique spot for anyone looking for authentic local souvenirs.

Left with nearly a dozen pairs of cute and unique earrings crafted by HK-based jewelry maker @ashayatheone, for $8 to $15 (USD) a pair. Though I definitely spent more than I would have for souvenirs at the Ladies Market, it was worth it not to feel stressed out having to haggle on the streets of Mong Kok. Plus, I walked out with better quality stuff, supported a local business, and got to check out the current art exhibit ("LONG TIME NO SEE": a set of hand-drawn murals paying homage to the history of the PMQ building).

My sis bought skincare items and the merchandise did not come with a carrier. I get it that we need to protect the environment and use less paper, etc etc.. But this a bit much. My sis has to put her purchase and stuffed it in her designer leather bag. The only thing I like is the grocery store in basement two. So many things to buy and many interesting food items to check out. And yep, we stuffed our groceries in our designer bags too :( Extremely crowded on weekdays evenings and all day on weekends.

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.

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.

The store is always clean and modern, smells nice and no sales person will bother you with greetings while you peruse. The biggest selling point are the prices! Even though they are made in China products with a made in Japan label, you will find that the quality and aesthetic is pleasing at very affordable prices! Miniso also carries high-end knockoffs at a fraction of the price, like their perfumes, headphones, cell phone accessories, electronic facial cleaning brushes, and humidifiers. They also carry small leather goods and sleek handbags and back packs, for all under HK$129. It's a fantastic store for small household goods like hand towels, vanity mirrors, and home fragrance. I picked up a non-Bluetooth selfie stick and stick and very cute nail polish for cheap! My only issue about this location is extremely narrow and crowded. It's very uncomfortable to walk around if there are a lot of shoppers as you're trying to navigate on top of each other.
