I love the Reject Shop! These chain stores are basically Australia's version of Big Lots. You can…read morefind lots of great deals and bargains throughout. They have many locations and each one is pretty similar. Upon entering you can pickup a catalogue to browse all the sale items. Then you are on your own to explore all the goodies around. During the holidays they have great deals on decorations. They also have everything ranging from art to school supplies, food to outdoor tables, toiletry to kitchenware etc. Sometimes you even discover super random items, like the one in my picture.

Items shipped to US were sent without a packing slip and the seller would not deal with the DHL…read morecustoms requests so, as a buyer I had to attempt to figure it out. It went horribly and the duties ended up being 5x what they should have been and the sellers rep just barked over everything I said on the phone and then could not understand why I started yelling when she wouldn't listen to me! They responded to no emails for their support. I had hoped to establish a long lasting relationship but, this is not a professional establishment and should be entertained with caution in my opinion.

This home decor mecca is a great addition to the Evergreen centre and sells an incredibly beautiful…read morerange of furniture, rugs, decor, coral, glassware, kitchenware, linens, and gourmet jams and foods. They largely focus on Hamptons style--think lots of lush white sofas, blue and white ginger jars and chinese stools, nautical stripes, etc--but bring out new ranges of seasonal things all the time too; recently they've done a lot in jungle prints, pineapples, etc. They stock a great range of brands, including Florence Broadhurst cushions and tableware, Keren Brown homewares, and lots more. It's the perfect spot to while away half an hour picking through the stunning displays of cowrie shells and corals before leaving with an extravagantly beautiful ginger jar you didn't know you needed.

It's not easy to find souvenir stores in the Gold Coast area. I googled several stores and all were…read morepermanently closed or didn't exist. Finally, I saw this store at the Outlet Mall in Harbourtown. Once we got there, it took a while to find the store (located in the back of the mall area). There was only 1 employee working the register as well as stocking items if there was no one at the register. Prices are not great compared to the stores in Brisbane and the selection was average in comparison. The one employee wasn't overly friendly, seemed evasive to answer questions on prices, and not customer-friendly. I would highly recommend going to downtown Brisbane (75 km away) if you want to get better bargains and selections of gifts to bring back to the States.

There's an incredible selection of roses, but also many other flowers and garden plants. They clearly know what they're doing, as all the plants look like they're thriving, even though they're all in pots. There's a pretty extensive outdoor display, and it's worth it to spend some time to walk around.
