For those that are familiar with HK pop culture they generally have some hidden gems. I try to get something from here anytime I'm in HK. They have a store at HKG also for those that are just doing a layover.

My husband read about this place while searching for locally manufactured gifts to bring home after…read moreour trip to Hong Kong. The store is beautiful and offers a wide array of different items, from clothing to arts and crafts and jewelry. Everything is made in Hong Kong and we loved the idea of buying something that is not mass-produced. I got some hair tube wraps, a t-shirt and some jewelry: prices are on the expensive end but I got very quality, unique items that I did not see anywhere else during my stay so all in all, it was a good trade.

If you are already familiar with brands like Umbra, Fred, Kirkland, then you'll know what this shop…read moreis about. When I came into the Homeless store, I feel like I'm back in Toronto. My gifts (like Janice T.) are also from stores like these. Because receiving kitchen gadgets is better than receiving mittens! I guess! Staff will leave you alone. They do not follow you around and they don't try to sell you anything. HK people are always trying to sell/recommend you something, not here! Directory: 1/F - main store 2/F - furniture (neighbour: Yoga boutique) 3/F - sales, discounts on broken and old stuff (neighbour: hair salon) 1/F Homeless main store: mainly small accessories, small things, home decor - kitchen gadgets - picture frames - useless but tasteful wall decorations (I received these as gifts before! But I'm not tasteful enough. I mean they look so pretty anywhere except where I put them) - book stands - music boxes - umbrellas - chairs, some furniture. Lighting. - GERMAN MEASURING TAPE (see photo) 2/F Homeless furniture: clocks, tables, chairs - funky clocks of all sizes - wall hooks - dining tables and chairs, mismatched but so cute together (if that makes sense) - desks - cups and plates and bowls 2/F neighbour is a small boutique that sells amazing quality clothing for yoga for about $500 each. And yoga mats and yoga bags. Also random leather purses and wallets. 3/F Homeless discount store: a $3000 lamp for $1000 - broken things, unsold things. The room of the unwanted - if you don't mind a scratch here or there, the discounted item is worth the price for your pretty HK home! - lamps, lights - tables, chairs - plates, cups - wall decorations, like cardboard deer heads and horse heads - but things are so dusty there 3/F neighbour is a busy hair salon! If your question is... do I have to go to 2/F or 3/F? You don't! But why not. They're so small.

This is a bit embarrassing to publicly say this... but hey, it's a review, it's the honesty that…read morematters right? This is where I buy most of my Christmas presents every year.... (friends, you might have noticed). Why? Simply because the items they have here are so innovative and fun. Come on, everyone could use something like that in their lives. Who wants a boring ol' bookmark? I always shop here, because I feel like the stock they bring in, are always unique and every time interesting. From a laundry bag that has a money sign on it (money laundering, get it?), to a comb that's shaped like a shotgun. The products aren't exactly the most useful but it will bring a smile to people's faces. They have this umbrella, where the handle is like a sword! How much fun can you have with that? The physical store itself is quite cool too, it's a small store but it's still got doorways, small rooms, corners and other space to make it fun to walk around. On weekends, it's actually quite busy there, you will find it quite packed and because of the amount of products they have, a little hard to navigate without running into something. They have another area of the store that sells bigger pieces of home goods, such as stools, coffee tables, larger photo frames, etc. These ones are fun too, but most of the time, a little hard to feature in someone's home, that is, unless their homes are very creatively renovated. Smart, fun toys that can cheer anyone up. Take a peek!

Life Goods is one of those stores that should be on every corner. It is a "general" store that just…read moreseems to stock everything that one would need for life! What I like, is that provide across a number of household needs; home-wares like Japan Home Centre, stationery like the mom and pop shops, hardware like the guys on Wellington Street. It seems that if you need anything, you can get it here. It is moderately cramped in the store, I suppose the stock has to go somewhere, so if you have shopping bags or a ruck sack, be careful! There are two floors, with mainly stationery, kitchen-ware, and hard ware downstairs, and bigger home-wares upstairs, like ironing boards and plastic boxes. Some of the store highlights include; photo albums, plastic boxes, paint pens, plastic spiral key chains, lots of carabiners, toys, and decorations, and a few items that I would not have expected, including; gas torches and soldering kit for plumbing, and thick transparent plastic sheeting, like stuff they drop down the sides of the junk boats to stop the splashes coming in. The staff are very friendly, if not a bit difficult to spot as they don't wear any uniform, and will help you to get out stock, or cut rolls of linoleum. The prices are very very reasonable, basically cheap as chips, so fill your boots! The store is also very close to Tin Hau station, so only a short walk if you are carrying a plastic box full of stuff!

We saw that there was an art installation of Grand So at this store, so we wandered to OVO and…read morecheck it out. This review is based on our experience at OVO Studio. Although it took us asking some questions of the nice staff person, we figured out the OVO brand in Hong Kong. So under the OVO umbrella, there is 1) OVO Home (modern, high end, custom made, oriental based furniture - located at 16 Queen's Road) 2) OVO Garden (floral design - located at 1 Wanchai Road) 3) OVO Cafe (vegetarian cuisine and coffee cafe - located at 1 Wanchai Road and also at 173 Des Voeux Road Central) 4) OVO W Hotels (OVO has a partnership with and operates the gift shop at the W Hotel in Hong Kong) 5) OVO Studio (some furniture, lighting, art, jewelry, pillows, gift ideas, etc. - located at 1 Wanchai Road OVO Studio carries a variety of simple chic and cutting edge contemporary collections designed for home or gifts. We thought this store was amazing, current, up to date and was up our alley on all things home decor, contemporary and cool. From hand made throw pillows of the animals of the zodiac to unique jewelry to funky cake plates and urban lighting and fun furniture....they have two floors of all sorts of fun things for the home. They also had an exhibition of the local artist Grand So, which we thought was a cool use of the space to add to their product line. The building where OVO is located was once a local market, so we enjoyed showing patronage to any company that embraced urban renewal and reuse of an old building.

It's not too pricey but good quality and modern and also vintage style. I guess that's the hipster style? Lol anyways I like this store and we will probably visit again when we are in Hong Kong!

If you were on a tour bus and had stopped off at Man Mo Temple and then had 20-30 minutes to spare, Klondike would be a good store to go to and then drop down to tourist shopping street of Upper Lascar Road and walk back towards the temple to reach your bus. From Man Mo to Klondike is maybe a 5 minute walk, if that. Some vintage items, some fragerant soaps and candles, some unique jewelry, some leather goods and most certainly a lot of other cool things to look at. If you were looking to buy a little gift for someone or maybe a little gift for yourself, this is the perfect spot. Just a cute little local shop that has been around for the last many years.

Pretty good kitchenware shop in Sheung Wan. A lot of the store is dedicated to glassware (wine…read moreglasses, decanters) and barware, but you can also find some basic plates, bowls, and mason jars, too. If you're into entertaining, they sell serving dishes, snack markers, and those big glass drink dispensers- perfect for serving infused water, jungle juice, or whatever tickles your fancy. Pricing is affordable. I wouldn't say this would be the place to go if you're looking for a nice gift for someone; rather, it's the kind of spot you visit if you're starting out on your own and looking for functional kitchenware (or not into spending much on such things.)
