Being the geek that I am, I can't help but wander into Novelty Gifts Express while on a walking tour of China. It's worth it just to see the 10-foot Transformer-like robot that is housed there. This store is a colourful explosion of anime and video game paraphernalia that may cause over-stimulation as you wander through it. Tip: Do not enter this store while hopped up on caffeine.
At this store, you'll find trinkets and toys for all your favourite characters, including Astroboy, Jack (from 'The Nightmare Before Xmas'), Winnie the Pooh (dressed in various animal costumes), MonokuRo Boo pig, Hello Kitty (of course!) and much, much more. My personal favourites were the plush items of the characters and icons from Super Mario Brothers. Who wouldn't want a pair of power-up mushroom slippers?!?!
Novelty Gifts Express is THE place to buy stuff you really don't need but couldn't help buying because it tickled your inner child.Listed in: Chinatown Walking Tour: My…

Holy trinket-o-rama Batman! From first look, there appears to be a giant mechanical robot made up of various machine parts in the window, and upon further inspection, that's basically what it is! Along with a 10 foot robot on display, Novelty Gift Express carries a ridiculously huge variety of wee trinkets, toys, novelty items and everything in between. I really don't know where to start, other than this is the place to go to for all of your Hello Kitty, Emily Strange and various bizarre/interesting Asian stuffed creatures.
I wasn't supposed to take pictures (I didn't know until it was too late!) so learn from me and try to refrain yourself!
