I'd forgotten how great this place was when I found myself back here on the weekend, mooching about for some Christmas gifts for those family members a little harder to choose for.
The variety of products in this shop is astounding. You can do a couple of laps and see different things each time. From man things to lady things to kid things, gadgety things, unique things and the downright strange, you'd be hard pressed not to find something for even the most difficult of recipient.
I managed to knock off three gifts in one fell swoop. OK, so I might have bought the same thing for two different people, but it still counts. I could have bought a heap more things for myself, but was restrained. (I'd only just checked my credit card statement - yikes!).
Perhaps the service was just a tad pushy, but I can understand the enthusiasm when your shop is jammed with some pretty great stuff. What I thought was a terrific touch, that you really appreciate and associate only with small local businesses, was that all my purchases were wrapped prettily - for free! Big tick there.
It's at the quieter end of William Street, not far from the intersection at Brisbane Street. There are some really good food options nearby (Dough for pizza, Okay for Vietnamese, Red Teapot for Chinese, plus other cuisine options including Indian, Thai and African) so it's worth wandering up there. Parking is free and easier up this end of Northbridge, too.
