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!

Looking for a low-cost wok, pot, or steamer? There is no need to trek all the way to Shanghai…read moreStreet with this gem located in Sheung Wan near the MTR. They sell all manner of metal cookware and other items. They have several different grades, from low-cost consumer grade parts, to heavy-duty items for restaurants. I have stopped in here several times to get a large kettle for beer brewing, a thermometer, and metal cutlery. All of the items I have purchased have been of good quality for their price and the staff was always very kind and helpful.

Amazing store! In addition to an excellent selection of traditional Chinese and Western supplies,…read morethe staff is extremely helpful. We had a good discussion of different types of woks, knifes etc. Without asking for one, I received a tutorial on how to season a wok. A must for any chef in Hong Kong.

Everyone needs a place to start looking when they're not sure where to find a certain something you…read moreneed around the house. My go-to is YS on Shau Kei Wan Road. This small store packs a big punch. I've bought batteries, adhesive hooks, my daughter's bath, foam tiles for outdoor play, toys and stationery. The place is a little like the TARDIS, it must be 'bigger on the inside' as the doorway itself is tiny - but maybe it just feels that way because of all the stuff hanging over it. Tool type products are on your left as we enter the store, moving down through bathroom things to toys and stationery in the corner. Thermos mugs and clocks on your right behind the cash register. A little corridor (and this bit is really narrow, so watch your bag) takes you past children's mugs and plates and electronics through to the rear section of the store where you'll find wheelie shopping bags, plastic containers of ALL shapes, kitchenware, stools and mats. Seriously, I told you the place stocked almost everything. Prices are pretty good too; four toy cars, a large plastic tub, paint brush, post-it's, a pack of ice-cream sticks, two packs of cookie cutters and a set of measuring spoons - all for HKD150.

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.)

This is a cute little store with an eclectic mix of merchandize, from home goods to clothing and…read moreaccessories to tea leaves. They use a lot of Hong Kong elements in their design, such of photos of the 60s on a placemat, mahjong or neon signs for a tote bag, double happiness for a cup lid, an apron that says kitchen god or open rice. If you speak Cantonese, you can appreciate the humor of some of the designs. However, not everything has a tourist look. Travelers can definitely come here to get some nice souvenirs to take home. Compare to what you may find in places like Stanley and Mong Kok, the stuff here is made with higher quality and with a less common designs. Naturally, expect to pay more and no price haggling.

From clocks, to rice cookers, to fans, to stuff for your work desk, to ear phones, to table top speakers....this is the kind of gadgety stuff they sell. Cool for you, cool as a gift, just a cool little store. Nothing exceptional, but a cool little gadgety store.

All you need to know about Aeon is their Supermarket - Food Hall!…read more You will find groceries imported from all the prefectures of Japan. Everything under one roof! That's how awesome it is! Aside from Japanese items, you can also shop all the produces from around the World! How about some D24 durian?! They even have LIVE Australian Lobsters available. Mind Blown! You might not able to find some special European import truffle or balsamic oil but I am just happy to shop here everyday! The other floor has more household products which I found them A-OK but did not wow me. For more selection, I suggest going to CSB or other bigger shopping centres. The new Japanese skin care selection on the 2nd floor though quite promising!

An extensive supermarket, and pretty much anything else you could be looking for from TVs to…read morechopsticks, slow cookers to gold jewlrey or suitcases to pillows - this place probably has it and trading cards to spare. Probably best avoided on special 'festival' days (special shopping days for cardholders), but hard to know what those are until you rock up - and then can't move without jostling someone! The crush usually isn't so bad on the upper floors, ie away from the actual supermarket, so if you do get caught - my advice is 'in, up, out' as quickly as feasible.

Love this Muji store at New Town Plaza in Shatin. It is in Phase 3, where you can find lots of…read moreretailers alongside this storefront in the lower level. The store layout is easy to explore starting with the food and beverage section upfront. Next, there is women's fashion and men's fashion, followed by beauty and home supplies. The area is well maintained and clutter-free despite volumes of visitors on the daily. The styles are very Japan-esque and the clothes are very comfy and quality. The stationary section is super well stocked and prices are very reasonable too. I always look forward to visiting this store to stock up on supplies and to find new items to take home. The cashier is extremely efficient and the long lines move fast. Paying with Octopus, Alipay, or credit can earn you points on The Point app, but cash is also welcome.

Like many others, I am a fan of Muji... except for their stringent return policy. Be sure that you…read moretotally love the product and it's a good fit before you head to the register. Compare to other Muji locations in Hong Kong, this one is not as big, though it still is a big store. If simple, earth tone, cotton and linen is your style, you'll enjoy shopping here. Their price is not cheap, but neither is their product. You can shop here rest assured that the product is high quality and well made, not something that may look good but break apart soon.
