Whether you’re looking to buy a gift for a loved one, treat yourself to a little pick-me-up or simply support your favourite local HK brands, we’ve lined up a range of gift card options and online resources to help.
We may not be out and about as much as normal at the moment, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still support our local brands in other ways. Putting Netflix patiently on pause, we’re making a conscious effort to stay connected with the community around us. With plenty of gift cards and online resources available, it really is possible to support the place we call home (without physically leaving our home). If you’re buying gifts for loved ones, stocking up on gift cards for future use can be a great way to give local businesses some much-needed revenue when it matters most.
We’re going to continue updating this article, so if you’re a business looking to spotlight your online offers, or a reader keen to give some love to your favourite local brand, fill in the form here. We all have a part to play in making this city home.

Editor’s Note: It’s a challenging time for individuals and companies alike, so if your self-isolation goal is to “save-not-spend”, support doesn’t have to be financial. Consider leaving reviews for products or services you rate highly on OpenRice, TripAdvisor or Facebook, and engaging with content that your favourite brands are continuing to share on social media. The more likes and comments they get, the more likely they are to grab the attention of people who are looking to purchase something at this time.
