Where to Buy Halloween Decorations and Costumes in Hong Kong

Halloween has become a familiar part of October in Hong Kong, with themed events, costumes, decorations and seasonal treats appearing across the city. Families may take children to Halloween activities, while adults head to parties, restaurants or themed events around town.

If you are planning your own Halloween setup at home or in the office, you do not need to turn the whole space into a haunted house. A few well-placed decorations, some simple DIY ideas and the right lighting can already create plenty of atmosphere.

Hosting a Halloween gathering? A Halloween Hamper filled with treats can also work nicely on a welcome table or dessert corner.

Halloween Decoration and Costume Shops in Hong Kong

Pottinger Street, Central

Pottinger Street is one of the best-known places in Hong Kong for seasonal costumes and party supplies. Around Halloween, the stalls and nearby shops usually carry a wide mix of masks, wigs, hats, capes, props and decorations.

It is especially useful if you are putting together a costume at the last minute or want to pick up a few decorations without visiting several different shops.

What you may find

• Masks, wigs, hats and capes
• Costume accessories and props
• Halloween make-up and decorative items
• Garlands, hanging decorations and party supplies
• Pumpkin buckets and other trick-or-treat accessories

Shopping tips

• Go earlier in October if you want more choice.
• Check the size, fastening and condition of costumes or props before buying.
• If you are buying battery-operated decorations, test them where possible.
• Keep your overall theme in mind so you do not end up buying too many pieces that are difficult to use together.

For a simple look, try a witch hat and cape with a few black decorations at home. For a family-friendly setup, paper bats, pumpkin buckets and warm LED lights are easy to work with.

Fuk Wing Street, Sham Shui Po

Fuk Wing Street, often called Toy Street, is another useful place to look for affordable costumes, toys and festive decorations. During seasonal periods, including Halloween, shops and market stalls often add party accessories and themed items to their usual range.

This area works particularly well if you are decorating a larger space or looking for several smaller items rather than one expensive statement piece.

What you may find

• Skeleton and bat decorations
• Fake spiderwebs and plastic spiders
• Window decorations
• Children’s costumes and accessories
• Pumpkin buckets, banners and balloons
• LED tea lights and other small party decorations

Easy decoration combinations

Doorway setup: fake spiderwebs, a few bats and one hanging skeleton.

Kids’ party corner: pumpkin buckets, a small banner and simple character decorations.

Photo wall: mixed-size bats, removable hooks and one larger Halloween decoration as the main feature.

Picking a Pumpkin for Halloween

Carved pumpkins are one of the easiest ways to bring a classic Halloween look into the home.

Fresh pumpkins are usually easier to find at larger supermarkets and food stores closer to Halloween, but availability changes from year to year. If you plan to carve one, choose a pumpkin that feels firm, has no obvious soft or damaged areas and can sit steadily on a flat surface.

It is better not to carve it too far in advance. Hong Kong’s warm and humid weather can make a cut pumpkin soften and deteriorate fairly quickly, so preparing it closer to the day will usually help it look better for your Halloween gathering.

Quick Halloween DIY Ideas

Floating Ghost Garland

You’ll need: light fabric or tulle, cotton balls, string and a small LED light string.

Shape the cotton into small heads, cover each one with fabric and tie underneath. Hang the ghosts at different heights, then add a string of LED lights nearby for a soft spooky glow.

This works well near a window, along a wall or above a dessert table.

Carved Pumpkin Centrepiece

You’ll need: a pumpkin, spoon, carving tool and battery-operated tea light.

Keep the design simple with basic eyes and a smile, then place a battery light inside. Put the pumpkin on a table with a few paper bats or autumn leaves around it.

You do not need much else—the pumpkin itself can be the main decoration.

Creepy-Crawler Doorway

Fake spiders and insects can turn an ordinary doorway into a simple Halloween feature.

Arrange a small trail along the wall or around the door frame, then add a little fake webbing. Keep the layout simple so the entrance still feels tidy and easy to walk through.

One Statement Decoration

If you do not want to fill the whole room with decorations, choose one larger piece and build around it.

A standing skeleton, witch, pumpkin display or other Halloween figure can become the main focus near the entrance. Add a few lights or hanging decorations around it rather than covering every surface.

Halloween Shopping Tips

Before buying decorations, decide where they will actually go. A few items that fit the space usually work better than buying a large number of decorations without a plan.

For Hong Kong homes and offices, lightweight or foldable decorations are also easier to store after Halloween. LED lights and reusable props can be kept for another year, while paper decorations are useful when you want something simple for one event.

If you are decorating a shared corridor, office or building common area, check the relevant building rules first and make sure entrances, fire doors and walkways remain clear.

Last-Minute Halloween Plans?

If there is no time to prepare a full dessert table, a Halloween hamper can make things easier. Put it on the table, add a few pumpkins or LED lights around it, and let everyone help themselves during the party.

You can explore our Halloween Hampers for treats suitable for family gatherings, office sharing or sending as a seasonal gift.

A good Halloween setup does not need dozens of decorations. A costume, a few lights, some treats and one or two spooky details are usually enough to make the space feel ready for 31 October.
