Journalize

Opened by local Hong Konger Jerry Siu, Journalize is an independent store that offers a curated selection of rare stationery from all over the world. Here, you’ll find pencil cases of all shapes and sizes, more fountain pens than you can count and international brands like Traveler’s Notebook and Moleskine – all sold at a lower price than at other chain stores in Hong Kong.

Muji

If the dizzying collections of stationery supplied by Hong Kong’s megastores prove too much to handle, then Muji may offer a bit of calm for you. Known for its minimalist designs, this Japanese brand does not mess around when it comes to its stationery. Many of its products, such as its planners and notebooks, are made of recycled materials too, so you can shop without feeling like you’ve destroyed a whole forest in the process.

Muji, multiple locations including 3/F-4/F, Lee Theatre, 99 Percival Street, Causeway Bay, 3971 3120

Log-on

With locations at almost every major mall in Hong Kong, you’ve probably found yourself pulled in by Log-on’s cheery decor before. Packed to the brim with stationery, toys, lifestyle products, beauty supplies and travel accessories, Log-on is nothing but a joy to walk through. You’ll find things you didn’t even know you needed, like washi tapes, polaroid cameras, air fresheners and our personal favourite, SMISKI figurines (glowing human-shaped creatures that you can place around your room, for no reason other than that they look cute).

Log-on, multiple locations including Basement 1, Times Square, 1 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay, 2736 3866

Cool Point

For all things K-pop, look no further than Cool Point. Located at Mira Place in Tsim Sha Tsui, this lifestyle and stationery store stocks a wide range of well-known Korean brands, including Artbox, Indigo, Flying Whales and Knock Your Life. The space is cutesy and daintily decorated, adding a little spark to your shopping experience as you browse through its inventory of lifestyle goods, travel accessories and eco-friendly furniture.

Situated near multi-disciplinary arts centre JCCAC, Toolss is a stationery store-cum-coffee shop that sells a quirky selection of lifestyle goods.

Kikki K

You’d think the novelty would’ve worn off by now, but years after Kikki K’s arrival in Hong Kong, we’re still digging its Scandi-chic vibes. Instantly recognisable by its pastel aesthetic, the brand provides minimalist calendars, yearly planners and a unique offering of happiness and gratitude journals. Make sure to pay the store a visit come Christmas time, as it releases a stunning festive collection every year.
