It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas with Christmas pines in many of the shops, shopping malls sporting sensational seasonal centrepieces in their atriums; and trees, office buildings and residences festooned with twinkling lights.
This year has gone by quickly, and, before we know it, we’ll be counting down to a brand new year.
But, first — if you’re scratching your head about what to buy your family, friends or co-workers, here are some ideas that we’ve cobbled together for you, organised into three price categories $ (up to 499HKD) $$ (500-999HKD) and $$$ (1,000HKD up). We’ve also awarded some of our listings the distinction of ‘Being Neighbourly Top Pick’, due to these businesses’ commitment to treading lightly on the planet*.
Things to buy and experiences to have, the inaugural Being Neighbourly Christmas Guide supports the local business owners and charities & NGOs in our midst and says, ‘Merry Christmas, We’ve got you. Together, we can make it a brighter new year!’
Be kind to yourselves and each other, this Christmas,
Love from Being Neighbourly X
