Present perfect

We’ve all received gifts that we didn’t like. And let’s be honest, we’ve all probably given subpar gifts to someone else. Sometimes it’s hard to know what to get people. So why not take the edge off gift-giving anxiety this year with the perfect holiday hack?

Presented by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Hong Kong Asia Distribution, the Anti-Boring Gifting Festival is in town to offer the ultimate solution. It comes with stylish, yet functional gifts and premiums to help spice up everyday life or provide gifting inspiration for loved ones.

Shoppers will enjoy exploring a wide variety of unique items featuring innovative design and multi-functionality from DG Studio, Hong Kong, while entering the fun spirit of the festival by going against the grain.

Among the one-of-a-kind “anti-boring” gift items available are suction bottles, thermal suction mugs, card protector wallets, wristwatches, collectible model cars and trucks, plywood puzzles and toy action-hero figures. All of the goods are marketed under the DG Studio brand. Included is an all-star line-up of participating vendors that represent a who’s who of Hong Kong’s finest alternative-gift manufacturers, from Artiart, Cardhoda, Tiny and Infantry to SOAP Studio and Team Green.

The festival is running at the Medium and More Store, 3rd floor of Samyan Mitrtown, Rama IV, until Jan 4 and also at the Beacon Zone, 5th floor of CentralWorld, Ratchadamri, until Jan 31. Every purchase of 500 baht will entitle you to one lucky-draw entry with the chance to win some fabulous prizes.
