Read on to find out more.
1. Ukiyo
British soft-toy brand Jellycat
has become very popular in recent years and their signature plush toys, or plushies, can be seen both on social media and as keychains on the bags of every other person on the street.
Some enterprising cafes have started to incorporate the brand's charming designs into their food and drink items. The hashtags #jellycatcoffee and #jellycatcoffeecups collectively have over 8 million views on RedNote, a Chinese social media platform also known as Xiaohongshu.
Ukiyo, a cafe in Tsim Sha Tsui's K11 Musea shopping centre, has collaborated with children's store Hanna Scallop to launch a Jellycat-themed menu, available until July.

Who is New Dellily? Hong Kong-born Indian YouTuber on her social media fame
Pranali Gupta did not set out to become a social media content creator. In 2019, when a friend suggested she should try it, the Hong Kong-born Indian said no, as she was 'not the type of person who likes taking photos or videos of myself'. However, Gupta, who speaks fluent Cantonese , warmed to the idea of having a platform where she could help other Hongkongers understand more about her bicultural identity. '[My Cantonese friend] was like, 'Don't you get tired answering the same questions? You can just shoot a video and answer everyone.' That was her way of convincing me,' recalls Gupta.

Her online journey snowballed from there.

Top 10: What are you looking forward to this summer?
Top 10 will also be taking a break during the summer, but we'll be back in September! Cleo Tam, 10, St Rose of Lima's School: This summer, I'm looking forward to writing book reviews. I love reading books at different levels so that I can learn harder words. I would like to write about interesting plots, mysteries and discoveries. I am also excited to prepare for Primary Five because I want to know how much I have improved from Primary Four. Sana Zaman Wong Sum-wai, 14, PLK Mrs Ma Kam Ming - Cheung Fook Sien College: I'm excited about starting Form Three next year! I am curious about the new subjects I'll be studying and eager to meet my new teachers. I look forward to joining activities designed for Form Three students because these will help me learn and grow in new ways. It's going to be an adventure. Top 10: Gen Z asks Hong Kong's fossilised tree what it's seen over the years Micah Wong, 13, Sha Tin College: With the recent release of the Nintendo Switch 2, I am looking forward to playing some games this summer. As this is Nintendo's first console since 2017, everyone is excited, even with the high price tag. Playing Mario Kart World on the Nintendo Switch 2 has been awesome so far, and I am expecting Donkey Kong Bananza, which will be released in July, to be just as good. Chan Yan-tin, 13, St Paul's Co-educational College: I am looking forward to exploring different places by having a boat trip in the Hong Kong Unesco Global Geopark and hiking Lion Rock. The former is a place with geological wonders, while the latter is Hong Kong's signature mountain that I have never been to. These activities help me to not only step away from the stress of studying, but also enjoy the vibrancy of summer. The rocky coastline of Hong Kong Unesco Global Geopark with the iconic Mok Min Cave. Athena Chan Lai-wan, 16, Pui Kiu College: I am excited to shadow a doctor, who will provide me with insight into the medical field. Observing a physician will help me understand their daily responsibilities and patient interactions. I'm particularly eager to learn how medical professionals communicate and make decisions. This experience will shape my aspirations in healthcare and confirm if it's the right path for me. Hylia Chan, 12, St Paul's Co-educational College Primary School: I'm looking forward to all the me-time I'll be getting. Freed from the stress of tests, homework and tiring social interactions, I can finally unwind by doing things I enjoy. I imagine myself holding a book or spilling my thoughts into my trusty journal while a playlist echoes from my smartphone. It'll be one and a half months of heaven. Top 10: The book characters we'd love to swap lives with Ida Ho, 13, St Paul's Convent School: Summer holidays haven't started yet, but my mind is already filled with excitement and delight. My family and I are going to the beach, which is a fantastic place to feel the warmth of sunshine and the coolness of the sea breeze. Most importantly, I can spend time with my family and create memories. I can't wait to see the ocean glittering beneath the sun. Chau Tsz-ching, 15, Stewards Pooi Kei College: I'm looking forward to a school trip in July. I'm going to Mongolia for seven days. I've never been anywhere like that before. I heard that we will be able to learn and try new things like riding a camel, gazing at stars and sleeping in Mongolian tent homes. It would be such a precious experience for me as Mongolia feels so different from Hong Kong. A man in a traditional Mongolian costume stands outside a Mongolian tent.

Cheung Nga-suet, 13, St Paul's Co-educational College: I am looking forward to hiking with my family. These activities can bring us happiness, relaxation and fun, strengthening our family's unity. Coping with obstacles while we take on steep slopes like those on Sunset Peak can help us be more perseverant. I can also appreciate beautiful seascapes such as Cape D'Aguilar. I can't wait to enjoy these unforgettable climbing experiences!
