As our kids prepare to head back to school, we make our annual pilgrimage to the stationery store! These are our favourites in Hong Kong.
A trip to the stationery store is a must while getting ready for a new school year. Amid family trips to Disneyland, indoor playgrounds and swimming pools, it’s become a tradition to stock up on brand-new pencils, erasers, school bags, kids’ shoes, lunch boxes and more. Bookmark this page to tick off your school supplies shopping list!
