Some very good friends of mine are leaving HK after being here for 16 years. Any suggestions for an appropriate leaving gift, maybe with an Asian flavour, but not tacky.

Suggest you take a look at OVO, opposite Pacific Place 3. They have lovely stuff in there and mostly 'Asian flavour'.

I think something from Shanghai Tang is always nice. Depending on how much you want to spend, they have lovely leather or silk photo albums that your friends can use to put in a selection of their favourite snaps from their time in Hong Kong. Otherwise, lovely silk blankets, robes, silver chopstick sets or those cool lacquer boxes. I love almost everything in there!

"leaving HK after being here for 16 years."
how about getting them a photo of Kai Tak Airport? You can get this from the shop up at the Peak OR
some pictures from Stanley

Having been in HK for 16 years, if your friends fond of asian food, then perhaps a pair of nice chopsticks (or a pair for each of the family members) is not a bad idea.

You could get a nice picture from Picture This in the Princes Building- nice ones by Loretta Roberts of HK or else her book is good "Sketches of HK"

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I ended up going to Shanghai Tang and got some very nice presents there.

We work often with artists and Picture This is hardly a friendly store, maybe with customers the sales ladies are different.
Instead of getting a book by a foreigner, why not a Chinese ink painting by a Chinese master, or a book by a Chinese writer - Li Bai, Du Fu, or contemporary ones like Gao (Nobel prize winner) and many more?
