Third Drawer Down

Amazing! If you're looking for something fun, a bit different or just plain quirky this is the shop for you! You're also supporting a heap of local artists which makes this even better!!

Excellent food and exceptional staff who helped us with great food options. Both veg and non-veg food were great. Decent drink options as well.

great shop if you like weird pop art i got a parking ticket for 96 dollars though so that sucks fitzroy parking inspectors are definitely not there to proverbial spiders

This is my favourite place for random gifts. Their diverse selection from quirky to elegant objects makes the hunt for the perfect gift surprisingly easy.

You think you don’t need anything but yet you will come out with something. Confessions of a non-shopaholic.

I haven’t been to the shop but we bought this beautiful scarf online and love it!

I received my first purchase today. The tea towel was better than I expected but the packaging was fantastic, with information that made me even more happy that I shopped there. Very happy!

Have purchased a couple of items from here now. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Really great if you are after something a little quirky. Worth hunting out if you are in Fitzroy.

so, I recently had a frustrating experience with Third Drawer Down while trying to purchase a gift for a friend. The item I wanted didn't include dimensions, so I reached out via email and phone to get this essential information. Initially, I called and was transferred multiple times, eventually providing my number for a callback that never came. After waiting three days without a response, I emailed again but received no reply. I decided to give it some time over the weekend and tried again the following week. Finally, someone provided the dimensions, and I went ahead with the purchase. However, after a week and a half without any shipping updates, I emailed for an update since I had already been charged. I received vague communication indicating that someone would follow up, but no one did. After another follow-up, I requested a refund if shipping details weren't forthcoming. I received a refund shortly after, but again, with no further communication from the company. Overall, my experience with Third Drawer Down has been extremely disappointing. The lack of customer service and communication throughout the process has left me feeling frustrated. I do not recommend this company--it's best to steer clear.

Absolute scam site. Ordered an item and box arrived without it. When I emailed them they claimed "the warehouse doesn't have it in stock". Site still has the item available for purchase though. I emailed them multiple times and I still haven't gotten my money back. I still have not received a response from their trash-tier customer service. Stay away!

Not your average run-of-the-mill store, Third Drawer Down is one of those little stores that is just bursting with so much character. The more than meets the eye concept store stocks cheeky concepts, gimmicky homeware and fun little add ons for design afficianados and graphic lovers. Think whimsical pieces such as stools in the shape of extra large corn on the cob or cheeseburgers. Super-sized rulers, pencils and scissors, tiny pots of cactus, camera style cups and flasks and beautiful throw blankets with graphical twists. At one stage, they also carried ice cream cone shaped lamps but these beauties are now all sold. I love walking into this store because there is always something new and exciting to play with and discover. My most recent find was a dog chew toy in the shape of a large moustache and one with a large tongue - which when played with by a dog, makes the pooch look ridiculously funny! If you're looking for a unique gift for someone fun, quirky and has a sense of humour, this is your store! Good times and great laughs, guaranteed!

They are a retailer of quirky little design objects that make great gifts and also consider themselves a museum of art souvenirs. This small store just around the corner from Gertrude on George St is dotted with interesting and curious knick knacks that amuse and delight and sometimes confuse too. I especially like their bed linen and tea towels, but I've yet to buy anything from here because I just find it all a bit too design driven. I reckon if my house was full of this I might feel like a bit of a wanker. Nice gifts though.

Third Drawer Down is a museum of art souvenirs store for those who haven't heard. Lots and lots of cool "arty" products/art where it's always a nice place to have a quick look through. It's set up really well where all of the knick-knack pieces are set out on a nice wooden art table. Not sure how much they actually sell there but I'm always entertained by the eccentric and witty art pieces they have on show!

I ordered my son a corncob stool for Christmas, to beat the mailing rush I ordered it in October I received a box via FedEx. The box was in perfect condition, I wrapped the box and my son opened the gift on Christmas morning, only to find that the that the stool was in hundreds of pieces and broken. The next day we called customer service, they were not available. We waited a week still nobody called back. When we finally reach them a week later they told us that we only had 30 days to issue a return and we were told we were outside those 30 days. I explained the issue of ordering early do the Christmas rush, and the fact that the box was completely intact and unmarked and that it had to be due to the packaging not the shipping. They refused to give us a refund or replacement. Unfortunately this company chooses to hide behind their policies as opposed to doing the right thing by their customers. We will never do business with this company again.

My friend's boyfriend and I once stripped down to my underwear in this shop. True story. Why? Well, I had visitors from New Zealand and wanted to show them a good time...so I took them to one of my all-time favourite stores. Which was just so happening to be putting on a contest. The first five people to strip would win gift bags. So off our clothes went, and off we later went, laden with Third Drawer Down merch. It was a good visit. I've also been there multiple other times, and kept my (and my friends') clothing on the entire time we were browsing. This is my kinda store: the ever-changing trinkets, the nifty, the neat, the swell. You'll never know what you'll find next -- except that it will make a great present for yourself or for your friends, strippers or otherwise. Definitely make the short walk off Gertrude and check it out. Pro tip: the coolest stuff is in the tiny back room.

Love it. Perfect place to find cool Quirky stuff for home or to gift to friends. Only place where I could find postcarten in city.

Can honestly say was first thing I have ever bought online and the efficiency and quality of my purchase was awesome...,love love love it...looking for my next purchase ATM!

I live in the US so shipping timely Christmas gifts to my friend in AU can be an adventure. I stumbled upon Third Drawer Down's site and decided to give them a shot. Their selection of gifts is excellent and they even honored my request to write a note on the outside of the package to avoid ruining the Christmas surprise. Love the extra touch and will absolutely shop with them again.
