Hong Kong Souvenirs Guide 2026: Pharmacy Finds & Starbucks
From instant-relief nasal sprays to adorable dim sum Starbucks mugs, here is how to spend your leftover cash on the best unique Hong Kong souvenirs.
Even before we took off for Hong Kong,
I had to prep a shopping list for my husband, who is a constant victim of seasonal allergies.
Our main targets? Sato Nazal Spray and Strepsils Max.
To stop his endless runny nose in its tracks,
we immediately hunted down the Sato Nazal Spray.
We first discovered Strepsils Max during a trip to Nha Trang,
and they are so incredibly convenient to carry around
since you can just pop them like candy whenever your throat feels off.
But this Nazal Spray is the real game-changer.
You just spray it directly into your nose,
and it clears up your sinuses almost instantly.
The relief is seriously unmatched!
They say it unclogs your nose in less than a minute, and they aren't exaggerating.
Since there was a Starbucks right on the first floor of our hotel (Ibis Sheung Wan),
we decided to get rid of our remaining cash coins there.
We ended up buying an adorable mini cup set!
Haha, it was the perfect way to clear out our pockets.
The total came out to ~$19 USD,
and about ~$6 USD of that was paid entirely in loose coins!
If you have leftover physical cash at the end of your trip,
I highly recommend spending it at Starbucks.
Look how incredibly cute these egg tart and dim sum designs are!
They are the ultimate Hong Kong souvenir.
So adorable!
