Wow what an interesting shop! There are so many interesting items in this shop that I could have…read morespent an afternoon exploring. Tasteful items that would accompany any modern house. There are a few items that would suit someone who likes a French Provincial style. There are so lovely wooden items and I adored the silverware. The linen is of excellent quality and there are some beautiful original pieces of art in this store as well. This shop is a place to visit and the Sales Assistant was so helpful! A great find on a Sunday afternoon.

You pretty much get name brand items but they are usually overstocked or had a printing mishap (who cares if your dial soap has Korean on it). That said, they do have a few knock-off electronic items that I might avoid (like the fake iRobot Roomba for $49) --- but for the most part, give this place a try.

I decided to give this store a second chance today (Sunday) and I just want to say that the woman…read morewho served me today was rude again. I thought she was just having a bad day last time but now I think she is rude all the time. I went into Fundamentals for Living Thirroul with a friend and did a whole lap of the store. We had a look around at a few things and I found a pair of tongs which I wanted to buy. The woman was hiding behind the counter with her nose in her phone and didn't say hello to us until I reached the counter. I waited at the counter while she kept her nose down in her phone. I decided to get her attention and said "hello, how are you?" and she smugly shouted back "hello, good morning". I said "I would like to buy these please". And she loudly sighed and said "these are only two dollars, I'm only going to make 90c on these". I replied that I'll just leave then if she didn't want to sell them and was prepared to leave. She laughed and said, "it's okay". I thought she was kidding around and joking about so I laughed along. However, when I handed over my money to her hand she sighed and slammed my change into the counter. This behaviour was incredibly rude and not consistent with the relaxed and friendly community which is Thirroul. I assume that she's the owner of the store because she was talking about how much profit was to be made on the transaction. This does not make sense at all because this store sells many small items for the kitchen which are low in price. I do not recommended this store to anyone who expects a certain level of manners and respect. I am surprised that this store has managed to survive for so long who happens to be competing with stores like Kmart and two dollar stores. The woman who runs the store is rude, has no manners and has no desire at all to encourage repeat business. Do not go here.

Wow! Absolutely brillant!…read more I used Laurel Tree Hampers & Gifts this festive season for gifts for my friends. I had 12 gift hampers that I ordered from them. I've never used a hamper company before, and Laurel Tree Hampers & Gifts didn't disappoint. There personal customer service far exceeded my expectations. From the moment you place the order to the moment it's delivered, communication is constant and very open. At this time of year, Christmas deliveries can be on time, late or not delivered at all. All of my gift hampers were delivered the day I requested and at the time I requested, which is no small feat considering it's the week of Christmas. They didn't let me down and can I say that the decorations on the gift hampers was totally awesome! I was absolutely stunned when photos were sent to me showing me the decorations and themes that were used to present the gift hampers to my friends. I highly recommend using Laurel Tree Hampers & Gifts for your gifting needs. They are amazing, totally professional and are very unique in their presentation of the gift hampers. They are not like everyone else. S. Palmer Wollongong

They have a colour plastic bag system for determine prices which makes the checkout process really quick. With their really cheap fruits they normally sell them by the basket (usually a kilo). Parking there isn't too bad either. It sometimes gets crowded but I have never had a problem finding a park.
