In this post, I'm going to mainly talk about shopping in Hong Kong. However I'll keep it brief, since every guide book talks about it. And even if you go by my suggestion for your Hong Kong trip, you should still get a small guide book. Time Out has some really good ones.
For shopping, you can find a lot of choices on both the Hong Kong island side: Wan Chai <灣仔> and Causeway Bay <銅鑼灣>, and the Kowloon peninsula side: from Tsim Sha Tsui <尖沙咀> (for example take the Cameron Road <金馬倫道> exit of Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station to go shopping at Granville Road <加連威老道>) to Jordan <佐敦>, Yau Ma Tei <油麻地>, and Mong Kok <旺角>. In addition to shopping, you can also find a lot of different restaurants! Worry about reading the menu? The best is to pick a busy restaurant and look at what other people are eating that look good to you and ask for the same!
One of the world's best history museum is in East Tsim Sha Tsui <尖東>. I highly recommend it! Please plan to spend at least 3 hours in there. Head east on Cameron Road or Granville Road, take the bridge to cross Chatham road.
If you want to buy some authentic, good quality Chinese souvenirs, check out Yue Hwa Chinese Products Emporium <裕華國货>. There's one next to the Jordan MTR station.
The famous Women's Street <女人街> locates in Mong Kok. However it's not as cheap as it used to be. You must negotiate at those places (which are not on the pedestrians). Try cutting the prices by 30%. They're a lot more willing to go down on their prices when they're closing, which starts at 23:00! For something really cheap, go to Aplin Street <鴨寮街> & Nam Cheong Street <南昌街> in Sham Shui Po <深水埗>.
