This place sells many knick-knacks. I like this place! I could get lost exploring all the little…read morethings they've got! I'd say this place is the equivalent to the "American Dollar Store!" They have a lot of really small items that can be used in ity-bity tiny living spaces. They sell Japan made Daiso products. I'd say the quality of the products are not so great. So, don't be upset if the life span of the products you buy here don't last past 6 months. I'd only come here if I knew I needed something simple and disposable, like baking tins. If you're having a kids party, this would be a great place to buy little things for the gift bags. The aisles here are pretty congested so look really hard if you're looking for something specific. It's there somewhere crammed between the kitchen towels and hanging curtain rods.

Don't underestimate what's sold at the $12 shop, or the Living Plaza. This place sells pretty much…read moreeverything - from food to cleaning supplies to stationery. If there's anything you're looking to buy, you'll probably be able to find it here. There are a couple of $12 shops around HK but my favorite one to go to is at Fashion Walk, near the Excelsior Hotel. This is one of the bigger and newer ones and everything is very nicely laid out. There are actually two $12 shops in Causeway Bay - the other one is on Canal Road East, opposite Times Square, but that one is quite old so I much prefer coming to this one at Fashion Walk. Some great buys I've had from the $12 shop include a piece of cloth that I bought to make a sleeping mask as a Mother's Day present. The reason why I decided to look here was because if I bought them at the market I would probably have to pay for a huge sheet, and that's not necessary for me because I'm just making a sleeping mask. I assumed that the cloth they sell at the $12 would be just a small sheet - but I was wrong. They didn't have that many designs but there was a really nice floral pattern that stood out, but all the sheets were huge! I could probably make 30 sleeping masks with that cloth. And for only $12, this was definitely a good deal. Another thing that's great to buy here is gift bags and gift boxes to hold presents. They have a ton of cute designs and they're inexpensive too! The $12 shop really is a one stop shop for all your shopping needs. I really enjoy shopping here because the aisles are wide and the shop never gets too crowded. I will say that I'm a little hesitant to try some of their things though. I haven't quite gathered up the courage to try their $12 eye shadow and $12 lipstick - but maybe someday!

天域家居 (Horizon Household Goods?) is less of a "Super Store" as it is a discount store meets…read moreprofessional hoarder. Located on the outskirts of Wanchai, it is a semi-all-in-one household goods store. This is hardly a Bed Bath and Beyond, but more like the "Made In China but looks Japanese" product lineup. It is easily one of the most disheveled, disorganized places I've seen. The electronic cluster stores in Computer City may be claustrophobic, but it's at least better organized than this place. Stuff is on the ground and piles of plastic / metal whatever is either hanging from a rack or is stuffed in a pile somewhere. Most things aren't properly labelled and the aisles are a total crapshoot if you have something specific in mind. Ask the lady behind the faux-register and she'll likely be able to point you in the right direction. The place is cash only, but depending on the item, is not cheap enough to be a true discount store. It is nothing like the MUJI chain, but it is a mom and pop business that is completely no frills. Come in here with minimal expectations and be ready to browse (a lot). You may surprise yourself in what you'll discover.

Why I am a fan of Uniqlo? Well I have to say its their quality and price. I noticed every mall in…read moreHK has a Uniqlo. So came here to see if there are any winter cloths. Yes! I know why am I looking for winter cloths in March. In USA, they are still selling winter cloths in March because the weather is still cold. So not to my surprise, the store decor looks the same as any other Uniqlo. Staff here are friendly. So you do get service. They say Thank-you for come to Uniqlo nonstop. Yes I mean non-stop. The season stock rotates quite fast here. All the cloths are for spring or summer. I didn't find what I want. But I still enjoy shopping here. I asked someone there and they did make an effort to look for me. So thumbs up to that.

This location was opened around April 2014, bigger than the previous location 5 minutes away. As a larger store, it carries items that may not be seen at smaller branches. Uniqlo offers simply designed, nice quality clothing for men, women and children, price is affordable but not cheap, unless you come across some really good sale, which does happen once in a while. They have a huge T shirt selection, both for men and women, often with designs from famous designers or popular cartoon figures, like Snoopy, Disney, Moomin. If you like T shirts it's dangerous... Overall, a fun and very comfortable place to shop at.

She was very cheerful and bubbly and accommodating. She listened to what I wanted and brought items out to show me and suggested different items based on my feedback and did not pressure me to purchase anything at all. I told her I'd come back since I had an appointment to get to but I told her that I definitely wanted the necklace I saw and she added me on Whatsapp and sent me the photo of the necklace and it's ID for later. I did end up going back and we did final checks of the necklace and she helped me sign up for the Chow Sang Sang membership (which is free) because I live overseas and cannot receive text messages and she had to submit a verification code. The membership registers what you've purchased to your account and it also offers a discount on any purchases. It was my first time buying anything in a gold store and Ting definitely made the experience smooth and set the standard for me going forward. Definitely recommend coming here and asking for Ting!

The gold necklace is sold by weight which fluctuates in price every day. My bangle caught my eye and the moment I set my eyes on it, I knew I had to purchase it.

Hong Kong is rightly famous for its street markets. It's a crowded marketplace (in more ways than…read moreone, and whatever pun you can think of is probably applicable), so each distinct market area seems to have a theme which sets it apart. Pottinger street for costumes and wigs, Wan Chai for toys, Lie Yeuen street for kids shoes and clothing, Stanley for touristy gifts, Ladies market for handbags, and the Night Market for phone cases and gadgets. This is not to say that there is no cross over, you can find bits of everything at all of them, but for me at least, these are the products that 'define' each market. Jardine's Crescent on the other hand is the place to go for clothes. T-shirts, bras, dresses and work out gear. The place is stocked with enough day glo and florescent colours to light a small city. Then there's the ribbon, lace and hair accessories. There's the odd handbag and shoe store, but you have to get all the way to the end of the street before you see a single phone cover! There are a number of permanent store fronts lining the street(behind the vendor stalls), and many of these are worth a look. My favourite is about half way down the street. Full of umbrellas, sunglasses, trinkets and small cheap toys that are perfect rewards for good little girls who have had a busy day and who mummy wants to keep entertained on the MTR ride home.

Jardine's Bazaar is often said to be the Ladies' Street of Causeway Bay. That's actually a pretty…read moreapt name, in my opinion. Just like Ladies' Street, Jardine's Bazaar sells things like souvenirs, socks, accessories etc. It is much smaller though, and the variety of things you can buy isn't as big. That being said, I do find Jardine's Bazaar to be a more pleasant place to shop in than Ladies' Street because it's sheltered, so you're shielded from the relentless heat from the sun! It's still a little stuffy though because the lanes are tiny. But along the way, there are little shops that you can go into as well (that are air-conditioned!) too, so being here on a hot summer day isn't too bad, I would say! Jardine's Bazaar is also pretty convenient to get to - just get out of exit F (Hysan Place) at the Causeway Bay MTR station and go across. If you're not a tourist, there's still reason to come here. This is a great place to buy inexpensive socks or tights, in my opinion, because there's a pretty decent variety and at much more affordable prices than you would find in a department store. There are two entrances to the Bazaar - one opposite exit F/Hysan Place and one at the Wanchai market. When you walk in from the entrance opposite Hysan, you'll see a small counter selling socks and leggings and the like, but walk further down ahead and you'll see more with lower prices! So a word of advice - don't buy everything at first sight. Lots of sellers have the same or similar things for different prices, so if you have the time and the patience, compare them before buying! Jardine Bazaar is extremely narrow though so it's kind of hard to move around when it's crowded. Avoid coming on a weekend because it'll be impossible to browse around properly!

Everything is on the pricey side but that's to be expected. The Line characters side of the store has an even greater selection of merchandise and goods available. There's also the huge character (Brown) that lots of people like to take photos with.
