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.

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.

We were actually in pursuit of a greeting card to send to someone for their birthday. Yelp guided…read moreus to this bookstore. 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.

Shopping experience…read more.. Retail therapy is my best relief and here in Hong Kong's Fa Yuen Street Market it definitely was something that I'm so glad to have visited. Nadine and so proudly figured out to navigate our way to this huge area that seem to have the dedicated space for this market which took the whole street. Walking through as I browsed each vendor there seem to be the same of many items which made me confused if it was the same seller or different though some of the prices and various other items differ I wasn't the greatest at bargaining though it was easier if it was just out of curiosity versus a want it was really fun looking through the various items with everything from household to electronics, towels and plushies. Taking the train was definitely fun and easy just find your way to Log Kok Station and there are signs to guide you the way...happy shopping! Thank you!

Fa Yuen Street is another "Night Market" shopping experience…read more The street is blocked off from vehicular traffic and both sides of the street are lined with vendors that block the regular brick and mortar shops along the way. That means there's four rows of shopping! The outdoor ambiance was fine for an October day. The sky was a bit overcast, so we were not burning in the heat. Some stalls weren't set up by noon, but most were open. Vendors didn't bargain much since prices were quite reasonable. Example: I got a pair of socks for 10 HK$ while I got another pair for 12 HK$ at a different place yesterday. Yeah, it's only a few cents difference, but hey... it's the principle. Fa Yuen Street had more fruits, towels, and household goods as compared with the Ladies Market. I saw pillows, curtains, chair covers, blankets, and scissors here. Other merchandise included luggage, purses, tote bags, reusable bags, Thai-style clothing, umbrellas, sunglasses, socks, underwear, and more! For us, it was worth the trek over. We got off at the Mong Kok Station... same one we used for the Ladies Market!
