This place is like wholesale for plates, cups, saucers, dishes, glasses, utensils, etc. Mostly basic styles in porcelain and plastic, they have a wide variety in basic colors, styles of everything you might need when it comes to a table setting. They also have stuff for the home (ie cleaning products, plastic storage boxes, stackable tubs, etc). There are two floors of product, stacked floor to ceiling everywhere you look

After settling into our new home we needed to fill it with everyday items. We were prepared to…read morespend most of the day going to two or three different markets. We found this place and we basically got everything we needed and saved us a whole bunch of time. It's basically if you crammed the houseware and kitcheware department into one store and then threw in assorted bric a brac in there as well (a bunch of ceramic mugs from and then a key making station?) However, the good thing about it is that you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much of your list you can cross off here and for a pretty cheap. They offer free delivery for purchases over 1000 but even with the all the stuff we bought it came to maybe about half that. Worth a look if you're ever in the need for a shower curtain, fondue set, back scratcher. You know, basics.

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.)

I'm guessing everybody's familiar with Homeless, the eccentric but often pricey lifestyle store. If…read moreyou're into that kind of fun, creative stuff, it's worth checking out lesser-known Lost & Found, which is similar to Homeless but in my opinion sells more practical things rather than quirky items that you'd use once or twice and then set aside. Lost & Found isn't hard to locate (ha!). It's at phase two of Olympian City, and you'll definitely walk past it when you take the bridge to phase three. There's another store at The One in TST, but I've never been to that one. This means that if you live on the Island or in New Territories, coming to Lost & Found may be a little bit of a trip. If I had just moved in to a new place or am redecorating parts of my apartment, I would definitely make a stop at Lost & Found. I like to think that things here can be classes into two categories, in my opinion - the vintage-y stuff and the more modern, colorful items. I love anything with that rugged, brassy look, and Lost & Found has tons of that in its vintage section. I can totally imagine decking my living room out on their gorgeous photo frames and little cupboards! For the more... FUNctionalist ones out there (sorry, I couldn't resist!), Lost & Found is big on colorful, modern-looking kitchen supplies. There are lots of colorful, disco ball-like bowls and plates that can jazz up any dinner party. Kitchen essentials like soup spoons and spatulas come in all sorts of different colors here, so if you're not one to settle with all that boring kitchen ware, this is your place! Another thing really worth checking out here are the clocks. They have loads of vintage hanging clocks featuring adorable animals like polar bears and pugs. Others are attached to a little countryside cottage and those are really cute too. I wanted to get one for a friend for her birthday, but as per Chinese traditions, it's considered sending somebody bad luck if you gift them a clock for their birthday. But just like Homeless, Lost & Found does not come cheap. One of those clocks I mentioned will set you back at least $300, and the more intricate ones with the cottage house are about $480. Although there was a sign outside that said 'on sale - up to 50% off', I didn't see a lot of items that actually were on sale! Overall, this is more of a place to browse and window-shop than to do actual shopping for me. Maybe one day if I'm thinking of redecorating, and if that coincides with them doing a massive sale, then I'll definitely pick up an item or two here!

Practicality and utility seem to be the only concern for most Hongkongers here when it comes to…read moreinterior design. However, who says we cannot make it both fun and practical? Come to Lost & Found, which is a unique lifestyle concept store where you may find all sort of things including furniture, gifts, home accessories, etc. It's flagship is in Tsim Sha Tsui but this one is not as crowded as the one there since it is at a corner on the second floor of Olympian City (which is currently undergoing reconstruction). They have over hundreds of different brands from all over the world like Koziol, Fred, Magis, Umbra. They also have local designs as well. I personally adore the clocks there with all of them having their own design. All are rather unique and innovative. At this modern age where most people tend to use their smart phone as their telling time device, clocks may one day become obsolete. However, once you have seen what they have here, you may buy more clocks than you actually need. Next time when you are looking for home accessories or gifts for your friends, this place will not disappoint you. Warning though: you may probably end up like a kid in a candy store with so many creative products on display here. So... worry about your purse.

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.

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.

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.
