At least one Hong Kong company is blending the allure of a unique personalised Christmas present this festive season with the opportunity to help a worthy cause.

A fundraising initiative by the Kowloon Shangri-La kicked off with a performance by a choir from the Singapore International School, followed by a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Tsim Sha Tsui East.

The efforts mark the 15th year that the luxury hotel is supporting Operation Santa Claus, an annual charity appeal organised by the South China Morning Post and RTHK.

This year it will be selling personalised caramel and thyme-flavoured chocolates for just HK$168 (US$21.50) a box to raise funds for Operation Santa Claus.
