| | | greeting cards
hi,
does anyone know where I can buy decent greeting cards in HK - birthday/anniversary,etc? Apart from Hallmark that is! I have searched high & low for some funky cards to send back to the UK but just can't find anything 
thanks  | |

| | | Expensive - yes, funky probably not. Try Papyrus. The Dymocks at Star Ferry has a better selection than the one in IFC. I saw a place in Wan Chai that looked like it had potential - 1st floor on the same side as the Hopewell Centre but back a little bit toward Admiralty but haven't been up. Good Luck. | |

| | | There's a great selection in Log-On, a funky shop in Festival Walk, the shopping centre at Kowloon Tong MTR (a couple of stops on from Mong Kok). | |

| | | Yep I refuse to pay 80HKD for a birthday card that would cost so much less in the UK, in Papyrus!
I've seen the shop you're talking about in Wanchai too - think I might take a look later today
Thanks guys. | |

| | | Hi, the place in Wanchai has closed! I got all the way there and it had shut down. Anyway, there's a good shop in Times Square - I think it's the 9th floor just past Starbucks called Paper & Things. Pretty good, and reasonable prices | |

| | | art paper
I realised that what I am looking for I can propably only find in art shops. Coloured art paper & envelopes, etc.
There must be some in HK, anybody knows where art students get their supply? | |

| | | There is a place called Brushstrokes at the bottom of Pottinger St (never been in though) and one in Wan Chai that had alot of art supplies - I can't recall the name but put HK art Supplies into google and that is how I found it I think. lastly in the Queensway arcede by Delifrance there is a paper shop - lots of colours. | |
