Thanks all the moms, for the warm welcome and pointing me to the right direction. A few store names you mentioned above are very helpful. I should be able to google them and find out where they are. Hopefully they all have a website so I can find out what they have before I go to the store.
Many thanks again!!!

most shops in hk have a very basic website. most don't have online catalogues. they expect you to go into the shop. shopping in hk is the national pastime! most here live in tiny flats and locals do whatever they can to get out of the house.
funny thing, whenever i told locals my holiday destinations they're response always was "oh..... great shopping" or the opposite.

There is a US size Toys R Us in Ocean Terminal- jsut across the harbor and there is a store called Spotlight in Megabox that is a mix of Bed Bath and Beyond and Michaels. They have pretty good prices.

www.hippychick.com ship to Hong Kong, especially if you are after a quality mattress protector. I just bought a King size mattress fitted protector, discounted to only 25gbp. Postage to HK is 8gbp under 50gbp and 12gbp over 50gbp.

Amazon (U.S. version) will ship more than just books to HK as I have ordered dvds and toys from them, but the shipping cost is really expensive, so you are better off shipping the items to someone in the U.S. and having them ship it to you through the USPS. Also, if you do ship through Amazon, the ship time quoted is never the actual ship time. I have had them quote me a 4 week delivery for something only to receive it within a few days of ordering the item.
