Design Gallery
Supported by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, this shop showcases local design in the form of jewellery, toys, ornaments and gadgets. It’s a chaotic but often rewarding gaggle of goodies. A great place to find present-buying inspiration. There’s also a branch in the check-in hall at the airport.

Alan Chan Creations
Alan Chan has designed everything – from airport logos to soy-sauce bottles – and now lends his name to stylish souvenirs, such as clothing and ceramic pieces. Some items he has a direct hand in; others he simply approves of. Cool, contemporary Chinese design that should inspire plenty of gift ideas.

Mountain Folkcraft
This is one of the nicest shops in the city for folk craft. It’s piled with bolts of batik and sarongs, clothing, wood carvings, lacquerware and papercuts made by ethnic minorities in China and other Asian countries. The shop attendants are friendly, and prices, while not cheap, are not outrageous either.
