On the Grid : Happy Valley

"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

Happy customer since last year when I started buying vinyl, always well priced, a fantastic range, well packed and shipped all the way to Perth fast and in perfect condition! You guys are probably responsible for about 60% of my collection.

Warning to anyone looking to buy vinyl from Happy Valley. I would recommend other stores. Purchased an expensive record here which arrived very warped. The staff acknowledged that it was very warped but could not exchange as per policy. I have never experienced this before there are a lot of great record stores that will refund or exchange warped records. This policy isn't obvious when deciding to shop here so want to provide this warning to anyone considering shipping here.

I have purchased vinyls from Happy Valley for my daughter several times. Each web order was processed quickly and accurately, with items well packaged to protect from breakage. Items arrived in perfect condition on all occasions. I will shop here again. Great record store!

The Happy Valley team are so amazing, always extremely helpful in store and have a great selection. Not only that, they have a beautiful array of gifts from Melbourne based stores (always a positive). I love supporting a place that supports it's community!!

I have traveled out to support this store for almost 5 years now. Great range and variety, super-fast service, and staff who are extremely friendly and helpful. I usually buy vinyl here; however, I have bought other goods. I once sent an email requesting stock for a photo book, and I got a response within 24 hrs. Meaning I could pre-order my book and support a small business.

Great selection, secure postage, very happy!! Was excited to find all of my favourite bands records in stock and managed to get a bunch of them delivered to Tasmania quickly and safely, as well as a couple of classics.

Long time customer - first time reviewer. Always a great experience with Happy Valley: from the personal note on orders sent/received as gifts, to the quick response on queries and of course the high quality vinyl! Big fan!

Happy Valley are so reliable! Their online experience is great — Really quick to delivery and their gift wrapping option is free and really cute. I've been to their store a couple of times and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Love them!

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.
