| Back in the old days, the boss would 'sign' documents using a stamp or seal carved with his name. Shops throughout HK sell these stamps made from jade or other stone. Perched atop the stamp is a carving of an animal... often a chinese zodiac figure or sometimes a twin set symbolizing the dragon and phoenix. Hop onto eBay and look up "chinese jade seal" to see samples. Find one that includes its own silk-lined presentation box, make sure the shop in question can engrave the name (boss' initials) on-premises, and you'll be set. ...or you can always opt for the tried & true authentic souvenir reading: "My lackey went to Hong Kong and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" |

I thought this kind of thing was being stamped out in the US. I do like CarterTG's idea, though. If you want to find a bunch of HK-type stuff all in one place, try Fenwick Pier. Unless you have loads of time, it is easier to go to one place than to track all over HK looking for the same stuff, slightly cheaper. |
