Scrumptious cuts
A range of sandwich cutters new in Hong Kong are already a hit among children in their native Australia. A mum devised the Lunch Punch sandwich cutters, hoping to encourage her children to eat more than one bite. The cutters are tall enough to slice through a double layer of bread and thicker. They come in four sets depicting vehicles, critters, puzzles and fairytale-inspired shapes. Each set comprises four shapes and as many colours - blue, red, green and purple. HK$160 at tickitey-boo.com
