Hong Kong is a notoriously expensive city to live in. We probably all have those days when we try to look for the best happy hour<\/a> and new deals<\/a> in town, or even haggle with the ladies at the local markets<\/a>. And with Christmas parties and gifting season<\/a> just around the corner, we know we aren\u2019t the only ones counting our pennies\u2026 But hey, honestly, the best gifts don\u2019t always have to cost an arm and a leg \u2013 it\u2019s the thought that counts, right? So, below are some tips to help you celebrate your holidays on a budget in the 852 \u2013 without compromising the quality of your presents or your festive fun.<\/p>\n

How to celebrate your holidays on a budget in Hong Kong<\/h2>\n

1. Try a gift exchange instead of buying gifts for everyone<\/h3>\n

Participating in a gift exchange is the best way to celebrate your holidays on a budget, especially when you belong to a big group or company. Not sure what to buy for John in the finance department? Chances are, you won\u2019t need to think about it, because by organising a Secret Santa or simply drawing names from a hat, you only need to shop for one person. And with a reasonable budget set, this means you can be as thoughtful or imaginative as you want, without excessive financial burden.<\/p>\n

In search of stocking fillers? Our Christmas gift guide<\/a> has you covered for all types of recipients and budgets.<\/p>\n

2. DIY, don\u2019t buy!<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s be honest \u2013 some of us aren\u2019t the niftiest people out there. But this is what gives our gifts meaning, right? We\u2019ve gone out of our way to knit scarves, curate photo albums and care packages, and even make Hogwarts acceptance letters by hand. Trust us, the effort is all worth it when you see the smiles on their faces. (And it most likely cost less than buying an actual product, too!)<\/p>\n

3. Replace champagne with prosecco<\/h3>\n

Do you know the differences between champagne and prosecco? (Photography: Kate Hliznitsova via Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Can you tell the difference between champagne and prosecco? Due to the differences in production area and method, champagne (which is made in the Champagne region in northern France) is typically more expensive than prosecco (which is made in Italy). Let\u2019s not go into detail here, but if you can\u2019t differentiate the two, your guests probably can\u2019t, either \u2013 but no judgement here! So, hands off the Mo\u00ebt for a sec and just grab the average sparkling wine off the shelves of M&S, and you should be sorted.<\/p>\n

4. Go potluck instead of food catering<\/h3>\n

As much as we love the amazing variety and quality of the food delivery<\/a> and catering<\/a> services in Hong Kong, they aren\u2019t always the most budget-friendly. So, how about organising a potluck and having every guest bring their own dish to share to the party? And even if you aren\u2019t exactly a chef, contributing ingredients to a hot pot<\/a> or BBQ<\/a> doesn\u2019t sound half bad, either.<\/p>\n

Too lazy to cook? (That’s us…) Simply sit back and enjoy at these amazing buffet restaurants in Hong Kong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Festive costumes swap and thrift<\/h3>\n

Do you like to explore your friend\u2019s closet? This season is the perfect time to do so, with all the parties coming up. Whether you\u2019re in need of a fancy dress for a cocktail party, or an accessory or two to elevate your outfit, you can swap, thrift, or even shop your friends\u2019 clothes and costumes to save yourself \u2013 and the Earth \u2013 from overspending and unnecessary waste. What\u2019s more, you and your friends can have fun styling each other, too!<\/p>\n

Try renting clothes<\/a>, and explore these circular fashion brands<\/a> to do your part in leading a more sustainable lifestyle.<\/p>\n

6. Consider doing a home exchange<\/h3>\n

Airbnbs and hotels are so\u00a0<\/em>last year, Honeys \u2013 especially with their prices skyrocketing ever since overseas travel came back on the books. And don’t get us started on dingy hostels. But here’s a piece of good news for those of you who are confident about how presentable your own home is: you can swap homes with people around the world! While home swapping platforms (such as the famous Home Exchange<\/a>) tend to charge an annual membership fee, the cost typically doesn’t go beyond the HK$2,000 mark, making it an amazing deal considering that the membership allows you to go for as many home swaps as you like within a year. Some exchanges even come with access to the homeowner’s car and kitchen, which means you can save on car rental and dining-out costs \u2013 say hello to happy holidays on a budget!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
