#legend100 inductee Sabrina Cheung shares his holiday season gift picks, while David Ho comes up with some further recommendations
“The Transparent Turntable by Swedish design brand Transparent Sound (EU€1,500/HK$13700) is my choice of a luxury gift. It’s exactly what I would want for myself, so I think it’s awesome! The minimalist, see-through design comes with high-end performance. It was released in 2024 and now widely available in 2025. I love the translucent design because it’s aesthetically appealing! Playing vinyl, with the record floating mid-air, sounds really romantic.” – Sabrina Cheung @ sabrinasa

Murakami Flower Go Walk
Cheung’s taste in that clear tech is quite on trend, as that Y2K-inspired aesthetic is all the rage now. The Flower Go Walk game (HK$525 plus shipping and proxy fees) by Takashi Murakami may also be right up your alley. It plays like a Tamagotchi and a pedometer combined, and is available in a clear shell.

Backlit Gameboy Advance
Retro games are never out of style. But advances in tech can make them better experiences today. We love the Game Boy Advance but the early models were a strain on our eyes. Nowadays, people refurbish them with backlit screens for a better experience. So order yourself or a gamer buddy one to relive the best games of the Y2K era. They come in all colours but we are digging the clear cases (HK$1,897) most.

Gucci Silver Cat Eye Titanium Frame

Baby, it’s cold outside. So we definitely need to bundle up. For that, our pick is National Geographic Apparel’s hooded fleece sweatshirt (HK$1,380) for women. They come in colours that ranges from classic beige and white to vibrant pink and blue. Since we are on that clean and clear streak, our pick is the white one.

Thoraland Astral Veil
You know what’s as good as, if not better than clear technology? Clear skin! Swiss luxury healing skincare brand Thoraland has a suite of products for that, from which we recommend the Astral Veil (HK$620/box of 5). It instantly bestows a luminous, porcelain-like clarity upon the skin while visibly improving the appearance of dry lines. It is rapidly absorbed, promising a transformation in just 15 minutes. This makes it the perfect pre-event or post-fatigue revival essential.
They are also running a Christmas offer. Enjoy a HK$100 discount on purchases of HK$1,500 or more, a HK$300 discount on purchases of HK$3,600 or more, and free delivery on orders over HK$500!

Nespresso Advent Calendars
We know Sabrina Cheung is a fan of coffee. She’s told us so and even has a song called “Americano” out! Caffeine seems like an apt gift for a coffee lover like her and given that it’s the festive season, Nespresso’s Advent Calendars (Original line HK$450/Vertuo line HK$450) are perfect gifts. These are specially designed for exploring new coffees and rediscovering old favourites. Featuring colourful designs by famed Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Muriu, this year’s Advent Calendars promise to bring joy with every door open, especially on the last day with a special gift. Colour us intrigued!
