We have pulled together an extremely short and snappy gift buying guide for all of you procrastinators out there. These are gifts that we have been personally handing out and running around delivering these days!
1. Bad Times Records Gift Cards (pictured above) - these come in two quantities of 250HKD and 500HKD and can be used to purchase records at Bad Times Records! All purchases must be made in person at our pop up shop at La Cabane Wine Cellar or any other BTR pop up events; gift cards can be picked up in person at La Cabane Wine Cellar.
2. Workers, Not Helpers - this Bad Times Disco published book is one of their solidarity projects, created by an extensive all volunteer team and published in a DIY fashion to ultimately advance the Living Wage Campaign, led by migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong. This comic book was published in only June 2025 and is already almost sold out (no reprint of the first print), so get your copies soon! You can purchase copies of these books from independent bookstores in Hong Kong and also La Cabane Wine Cellar:
Hunter Bookstore - 110 Ki Lung Street, Prince Edward
Reverie Bookstore - 1/F (103), 228-238 Queen’s Road Central, Central
ACO Books - 14/F Foo Tak Building, 365-367 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai
Hong Kong Reader - 7/F 68 Sai Yeung Choi Street, Mong Kok
La Cabane Wine Cellar - 10 Shin Hing Street, Central
3. NYE / 5 Year of BTD Presales until 27/12 - We are biased but we believe in giving the gift of experiences. There’s nothing that can replace a precious memory and time spent together. As you all know, we are throwing a New Year’s Eve party quite centrally located at AER, and it’s going to be a very unpretentious and relaxed NYE party with a great crowd, 4 point soundsystem, all vinyl DJ sets, and some other surprises. For a cute gift surprise for your friends, get them all a Group Buy (Buy 4 tickets, Get 1 Free), or just surprise your best friend or significant other with a pair of tickets for you both (250HKD per ticket) until this Saturday 27 December 11:59pm when the ticket phase changes and prices go up.
Happy holidays and hope to see many of you to bring in the new year together!
