Happy New Year #MarketFriday Community and to its founder @dswigle. How were your Christmas and New Year celebrations? Let's all hope for a positive 2023 and more blessings to come.
Let's thank God it's Friday. Everyone of course, like the end of the week, because it's #MarketFriday.
I visited the Victoria Peak last Christmas and I can say that there were a lot of developments in the area since my last visit in 2017. I can't even remember the attractions I've seen before, except for the two iconic buildings at the peak: the Peak Tower and the Peak Galleria.
After walking along the Morning Trail in the afternoon, I decided to visit the Peak Galleria as I had never been to that place because we only visited the hill parts when we first went to the peak.
This is the shopping and leisure complex at Victoria Peak. An array of shops and even restaurants and cafes can be found here.
There's an arcade in the place too where kids can play with their parents.
The process of making sushi in this shop is visible to the public. That probably is their strategy to show people the cleanliness of the place and the food they are making.
Meanwhile, on the other side is this shop selling Chinese Traditional food. Chinese people consider these as snacks, but they seem like a viand to me that can be partnered with rice. I tried some before and they taste like pork tocino.
Among all shops in the galleria, the Wonderful Life caught my interest.
There are a plethora of mini music boxes, and they are all so cute, especially when different music was played by different music boxes turning around inside the glass box.
They are all made from wood with different concepts and perfect gifts for different occasions.
My favorite part was the shelf of different music boxes inspired by Disney characters. Mickey Mouse, Disney Princesses, and other characters are present. They are too adorable.
These are definitely perfect as gift items. Not just music boxes but pretty room displays too. Kids would certainly love them.
Donald and Olaf beaching. Aren't they cute?
Of course, Santa is present too.
There are wooden items such as wood stationery, name card holder, photo frames, and others inspired by Hong Kong's iconic attractions like the peak tram, temples, and Big Buddha.
There are wooden calendars and clocks perfect for room displays.
I wanted to buy one but they are quite pricey for me š .
Who's playing spinning tops? I bet, kids love this too. This reminded me of the good old days when I was still a kid. I am one of those who were a fan of spinning tops.
I wasn't sure of these Mini 98 items, but they look like old-style radios. A radio music box, sounds interesting.
Mickey and Minnie mouse toy cars are perfect for your little son.
The items below are Ocean Park HK-inspired.
The fun part is the DIY for those who want to make their own music box design.
Meanwhile, these mini music villages were the most expensive ones.
And there are a lot more cute items at Wonderful Life. You'll definitely feel wonderful once you listen to the calming music from different music boxes in this shop.
Which music box is your favorite? I like the Disney Princess's music boxes š.
That concludes my Market Friday today. Happy end of the weekdays, everyone, and enjoy your weekend.
