Shambala
2/F Horizon Plaza, 2 Lee Wing Street, Ap Lei Chau, 2555 2997
Still in Horizon Plaza and we’ve been hearing great things about this home décor store (more like warehouse!); they have lots of fantastic festive items at reasonable prices to spruce up your pad. If you’re looking for funky table pieces, this is a good bet.

 

Francfranc
Causeway Bay, Festival Walk, K11 and Horizon Plaza – see full addresses here
If you fancy bringing some chic and clean Japanese style into your home for the festive season, look no further than Francfranc, who do an extensive range of inexpensive but charming decorations (from $40) in their trademark minimalist style. Expect beautiful baubles, classy candles and cute funky mini Christmas trees and wreaths, mostly in their festive colours of choice – glimmering gold, red, silver and white.

Jusco Living Plaza
Everywhere – see the full list of stores here
Just in case this name isn’t ringing a bell, this is the shop formerly known as Jusco $10 Store, which in turn is known everywhere else in the world as Daiso! Now more like the 12-ish dollar store, this is still phenomenally cheap stuff that definitely rates more expensive than it looks (must be the great Japanese design!). In our experience, they’re great for rolls of sparkly shiny wrapping paper and other packaging paraphernalia (gift boxes, ribbons, craft scissors etc), whilst they also have some fun Christmas decorations (reindeer antlers and Santa hats ahoy!) and ornaments.

Lane Crawford Home & Lifestyle
Level One, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty, Hong Kong, 2118 3668
For the artiest (not to mention most expensive) decorations from the most renowned brands and designers, then Lane Crawford is the way to go. Their dedicated Home & Lifestyle flagship in Pacific Place is your best bet, although all stores should have some Yuletide items available.

The Stalwarts – Ikea, Marks & Spencer, City’super
All over town!
These are our three fail-safe options for shopping in general in HK and, as usual, they’ve got some great quality but reasonably priced items for the festive season. Marks & Spencer is fantastic for big rolls of wrapping paper that should keep you going until NEXT Christmas – not just the never-big-enough one-sheeters that most stationery shops here specialise in. Ikea also has bumper rolls of chic wrapping paper, plus cool Christmas decorations in their quirky Scandinavian designs. Meanwhile, City’super has completely taken over Times Square’s basement with a huge section dedicated to all things Christmassy – ornaments, stockings, wreathes, decorations, snow globes, cuddly reindeer and pretty much everything else you can think of!

The General Store
41 Gage Street, Shop H, Central, 2851 8144
Have yourself a vintage little Christmas with The General Store’s range of beautiful ornaments and Christmas tree toppers – and we know if owner Shelly has chosen them, they’re bound to be awesome!

Attic Lifestyle
Unit 4, 12/F, Sungib Industrial Building, Wong Chuk Hang Road, Aberdeen, 2580 8552
For cool and quirky vintage-style Christmas tree ornaments that hold back on the cheese factor, head to Attic Lifestyle – or order online here (delivery is free for orders over $500, in case you needed further temptation to spend)!

Christmas Fairs
Many of the city’s holiday fairs and bazaars will be selling all sorts of festive bits n’ bobs, including Christmas tree ornaments, house decorations and Christmas cards and wrapping. There are too many to list here… but you’re in luck! We’ve already made a bumper guide to all this year’s festive fairs – check it out here.

Markets
For cheap and cheerful decorations that might not last much longer than the twelve days of Christmas themselves but at that price who cares, hit up your local markets – we suggest Wan Chai, North Point, Mong Kok Ladies Market, Price Edward, Sham Shui Po, Jordan or even the small stretches of stalls in Central as potential hunting grounds for wreathes, stockings, tinsels and other inexpensive ornaments. A few shops dedicated solely to Xmas goods usually pop up on Lyndhurst Terrace and Wellington Street in Central and on Queen’s Road in Wan Chai too. Just remember, Central or Causeway Bay will never be your cheapest ports of call, Island East is generally cheaper than Island West and Kowloon and the New Territories should be the cheapest of them all!

DIY IT!
If you want unique decorations with a personal touch, how about DIY-ing your décor (just Google DIY Christmas decorations and marvel at the results)? The go-to place is Sham Shui Po, which has plenty of awesome craft supplies; if that’s too much of a trek, head to your local wet market (or the ones mentioned above) where you should find fabric and haberdashery stalls selling ribbons, lace and glitzy odds and ends at bargain basement prices. For other cheap crafty bits and bobs, Jusco Living Plaza is fantastic.

Consider your halls well and truly decked!
