A single tube of toothpaste could now fetch you home appliances and household essentials worth nearly HK$1,000.
Shoppers in Hong Kong are rushing to their nearest ParknShop stores following the announcement of what many are calling the supermarket chain’s most extravagant promotional campaign yet. From now until September 28, 2026, customers who purchase specified quantities of Colgate Pro-Relief Sensitivity toothpaste (in 75ml or 110-114g single packs) can walk away with free gifts valued at up to HK$977.9—including vacuum cleaners, standing fans, German-branded kitchen knives, toilet paper, and laundry detergent pods.
What’s on Offer?
The promotion is structured around tiered rewards. The more toothpaste you buy, the more substantial the freebies become. Here’s the breakdown:
- Purchase one unit: Receive a vacuum cleaner, multiple rolls of toilet paper, and laundry detergent pods.
- Purchase additional units: Upgrade to a standing fan or a set of Zwilling J.A. Henckels kitchen knives—a German brand renowned for its premium cutlery.
ParknShop has described the lineup as “beyond imagination,” a sentiment echoed by bargain hunters who have taken to social media to calculate potential savings. At current retail prices, the bundled gifts far exceed the cost of the toothpaste itself, making this a rare opportunity for households to stock up on both oral care and everyday necessities.
The Fine Print
This promotion coincides with ParknShop’s broader seasonal sales, which also include:

How to Maximize Value
For shoppers looking to get the most out of this promotion, experts recommend:
- Calculate your needs: If you regularly use sensitivity toothpaste, buying in bulk now could cover months of supply while netting you high-value gifts.
- Combine with other offers: ParknShop is running simultaneous promotions on wine, mooncakes, and household staples. Stacking these could yield even greater savings.
- Check stock availability: Given the popularity of such campaigns, popular gift items like vacuum cleaners and Zwilling knives may sell out quickly. Early shopping is advised.
Broader Implications
This aggressive promotional strategy reflects a broader trend among Hong Kong retailers as they compete for consumer attention in a challenging economic climate. With inflation squeezing household budgets, supermarkets are increasingly turning to bundling and gift-with-purchase models to drive foot traffic and move inventory.
For ParknShop, the toothpaste promotion serves a dual purpose: it clears shelf space for oral care products while encouraging shoppers to visit stores physically—where they are likely to purchase additional items. The strategy mirrors similar moves by competitor Mannings, which recently offered Neoflam collapsible hair dryers and German knife sets with toothpaste purchases.
What’s Next?
While the Colgate promotion runs through late September, ParknShop has indicated that additional “flash deals” and “bonus redemption” events will follow. Shoppers are encouraged to monitor in-store signage and the ParknShop mobile app for updates.
For those who prefer to plan ahead, the next wave of promotions is expected to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival in late September, when mooncakes, wines, and gift hampers typically dominate the sales floor.
Until then, the message is clear: if you need a new vacuum cleaner or a set of German knives, a trip to ParknShop for toothpaste might just be the most cost-effective way to get them.
