"I love Happy Valley. It's a bookshop on the main drag of Smith St with some pretty well-developed design tendencies. It's beautiful on the inside and the book selection is fantastic. It's the perfect place to find an interesting book, with a good mix of international and local Melbourne titles. Happy Valley is also a pretty great source for eclectic gifts and other items you're bound to love." - Studio Fellow

I've bought a few records from Happy Valley and have always had a great experience. The selection is fantastic, and Chris has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. It’s clear they really care about music and their customers. Highly recommend if you're into vinyl or just want to discover something new. A gem of a shop in Melbourne!

Good selection of records here with some difficult to source releases. Managed to find a Mark Lanegan LP here that I really wanted and it was shipped promptly and securely. Excellent customer service and attention to detail from Mark via email.

I recently purchased New Order - Music Complete (2LP Vinyl) from Happy Valley Shop and couldn't be happier. This album was hard to find, but Happy Valley had it and it was a reasonable cost. I received the album the day after I ordered it online, and considering I live in another state, to say I was impressed is an understatement! Easy to navigate online store and great service. They now have me as a long-term customer! Five stars well deserved.

Went in to get a vinyl I’ve wanted for ages, just to discover once I got home that the sticker over the protective sleeve was actually placed upon the actual vinyl sleeve, peeling a little piece of the album cover off. There was also a noticeable indent on the cover, which in no way could have happened on the way home. I am strongly disappointed as I was really looking forward to this vinyl. However the other vinyls I purchased seem to be in great condition which is always a plus!

Excellent customer service. Chris and Matt so kindly amended my online order to include the goodie bag which I'd wanted for no additional cost. Highly recommend this store. Such honest and prompt service is so refreshing. Thank you again.

I ordered a vinyl with express shipping and after not receiving it within the time frame I reached out. The team were so helpful, refunding my shipping cost and expediting my order. They even wrote a note on the package and included a bunch of protective sleeves for my vinyls!! 10/10 service

This was the first time I have purchased from Happy Valley, I am very impressed, placed online order on Sunday and the order arrived within 5 days and one of those days was a Public Holiday. The vinyls were packaged extremely well in strong cardboard and also bubble wrapped. The cost was great also, the same vinyls were at least $50 more from a well known store. Will definitely purchase from here again and recommend to others.

Gift shopping anyone? Spare yourself some time and just come straight here. Very easy for stocking stuffer type presents that aren't cheap and nasty. I want to call it a kind of hipster book shop. There's loads of books and quirky/cool gifts at Happy Valley. My friend and I got caught up smelling all of the golden skull candles...I am not really a candle fan and ordinarily I think giving them as gifts is laaaame - but these ones are awesome and smell very different to ones I've come across elsewhere. If you're over Hallmark, there's lots of unique cards for your weirder or pop-culture obsessed friends. Actually any of the gifts here would work for friends in those categories. Plenty of useful stuff, but nothing too serious. I'm a fan.

Happy Valley is a great little book and gift store on Smith St. Their selection is smaller than dedicated book stores but it's well curated and it compliments the types of gifts they have available. They stock a number of interesting greeting cards, some (all?) of which are made locally. Gifts that you'll find in the store include prints, "gourmet" skin care products, wooden bow-ties, beautiful candles, and much more. It's worth taking a browse even if you're not necessarily looking to buy something. Although be warned, you may not walk out empty handed.

I love this kooky store. From hand knitted cactus "plants" and locally crafted jewellery to terrariums and brightly coloured leather handbags this is my kind of store for gift buying. It's big and bright and the soundtrack is always interesting. I often pop in to listen to the tunes and browse and never get the evil eye from staff when I walk out empty handed. Probably because they sense that I'm the kind of person that returns for birthday gifts, mother's day presents and those times when I need a little pick-me-up of the hipster magazine persuasion.
