Another option to think about... The jade market at the intersection of Kansu and Battery streets, in Kowloon.

You could spend a little or a lot here, but there are many options to purchase small, inexpensive trinkets for the ladies. Mrs. Rawan got a lot of nice pins, ear rings, broochesf or female friends/relatives. And they were well received back in the US.

Also, in the Stanley area, there is an open air market that has lots of inexpensive clothing options. Much of it is actually decent quality. I bought a bunch of silk ties here (around $2 USD/each) and gave them to friends/relatives. They were also well-liked.

Remember to haggle here^ We often got vendors to come down 50-60% on the prices. The ties, for example were being offered $100HK for 3, and I got 6 or 7 for $100HK.

Have fun in HK!!
