1. Cathay Pacific - Livery Hong Kong tram model set of 4
When packing for a family holiday, it’s important to have a toy (or four) on your packing list and these “Ding Ding” models are sure to keep youngsters engaged for hours. Created in collaboration with Hong Kong Tramways and dressed in Cathay Pacific’s most memorable aircraft liveries, they’re also a heartfelt tribute to our home city. Which design will your child like best: the ode to our first aircraft, Betsy, the bold colours of our ‘60s fleet, the iconic lettuce leaf sandwich livery or our modern Brushwing logo?
2. Cathay Pacific - Classic uniform bear mini keychain blind box
There’s nothing like a whimsical surprise to put a smile on your little one’s face. Our line of mystery bear keychains features eight adorable teddies, each sporting a Cathay Pacific uniform from a different decade of our 80-year history. The blind box packaging makes unveiling them part of the fun – and whichever variation your child receives, they’ll love being able to clip their travel companion to their carry-on bag. Select crew will be wearing some of these vintage styles on board our aircraft this year, so keep an eye out for a surprise encounter. While on board, you can also take advantage of our inflight exclusive offer to order the complete set for home delivery.
3. Cathay - Kids’ digital camera
If you’ve got a fledgling photographer at home, nurture their artistic eye with this digital camera that’s designed especially for adventurers aged six and above. The lightweight, easy-to-use device has 32GB of storage, dual lenses, and a 2.4-inch HD screen, perfect for capturing novel sights and amazing moments on holiday. Kids can further leave their mark on their snaps with our library of photo frames – some featuring classic Hong Kong landmarks – and dress up their camera with detachable, travel-inspired accessories.
4. Belkin - SoundForm mini wireless on-ear headphones for kids (Toy Story, Disney collection)
Let your kiddos bop to their favourite tunes or get lost in a beloved audiobook with these child-friendly headphones, devised with a volume cap of 85dB to protect young ears. A battery life of up to 30 hours makes them ideal for long journeys, while the adjustable headband and soft cushioned ear pads guarantee comfort hour after hour. Our favourite look? This limited-edition Toy Story pair, designed with purple and green block colours and featuring beloved characters from the saga; additional stickers allow children to customise to their heart’s delight.
5. EVY Technology - Sunscreen mousse SPF 50 kids (150ml)
If it’s hard getting your child to stay still while you apply their sun lotion, consider switching to this fun, fuss-free alternative. Formulated to have an airy, whipped texture, this sunscreen mousse is light, non-greasy and non-sticky, making it easy to apply and quick to absorb, all while offering long-lasting sun protection. It’s also hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, with a soothing effect on sun eczema. Lastly, the highly water-resistant formula is ideal for beach days.
6. American Tourister – Little Frontec kids’ luggage
Allowing older kids to be in charge of their own suitcase can be hugely empowering – and this stylish case will get them even more excited about taking on the responsibility. It comes in fun pastel shades like aquamarine and strawberry, with an ID plate that can be personalised with complimentary stickers. On the practical side, the Little Frontec is made with a durable, scratch-resistant shell, and the interior features germ-resistant lining, a mesh divider and cross straps. Bonus: this is a scaled-down version of the adult-sized Frontec luggage, so the whole family can choose to match.
7. Polaroid - Junior sunglasses 8070/S (7-10 years old)
Fun in the sun is even better when you can protect your child’s sensitive eyes from harmful rays. Give them a pair of these high-performance sunglasses to pop on and you’ll feel safe letting them go off and explore. With solid-tint, polarised lenses that offer strong protection, these frames were made for outdoor adventures. Their playful design comes in fluorescent turquoise and lime hues, while the mask-shaped, full-coverage front features rubberised nose pads to ensure they won’t slip off mid-caper.
