Support Local Businesses This Christmas

shopping local at hong kong businesses this christmas

09/12/2021

The holiday season is full of festive inspiration. We decorate our homes and share in the spirit of the season with food and give gifts. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but along with the festivities often comes a whole lot of waste and overconsumption. Shopping local, making your own gifts, upcycling and generally reducing waste makes the Christmas season not only more sustainable, but it can also save money and have a positive impact on the environment. Hong Kong has so many wonderful local businesses stocking amazing gifts. Here are some of our favourites.
