Halloween is one of my all time favorite holidays. I realize I'm "not in Kansas anymore," but…read moredespite this, come 31 Oct, I will most definitely be costume-clad. But, where do I begin? Sydney doesn't seem to have many costume shops in sight. Where can I source that ever-important witch wig or Frankenstein mask? Walking through Wynyard station today, I found my place. Overflowing with outrageous glasses, packaged costumes, separates and more, I would be SHOCKED if you couldn't find what you need in here. Going to a Hen's party? What about a theme party at a mate's house? There's more than enough in here. What if you've always yearned to be a zombie Michael Jackson with Elvis shoes, mouse ears and a Rainbow Bright wand? Not a problem. This party store will cover your dress-up bases, and oh so much more.

Pop in to Everything Party Shop before you jump on the train at Wynyard and get your party fix with the crazy and the colourful. Whether you're after a piñata, some party gags, paper lanterns, catering cups or serviettes, you'll find it all here. (You might have to shift through the piles of products to get to it, but trust me, it'll be here!) This shop seems to get a little overexcited when special holidays roll around, so at Halloween, Valentine's Day and Christmas things can get a little crazy. There's also a pretty good range of party costumes, so if you need a full-on outfit or just some novelty accessories, hop in, pop your party hat on and get festive.

Great everything. Everything you could possibly ever want or need for a party. Stunning store and…read morecustomer service

I personally love Japanese culture, so I am really glad to have this store open up near us…read morerecently. Their art & craft supplies definitely come in handy for journalling/school work/work in general, and their stuff is much cheaper to get than the stationary/art supplies that can be found in Kmart. They have other things as well that aren't related to stationary/art. They also have imported Japanese food, homeware etc. You will definitely find something in this store that will cater to your needs/wants.

With so many aisles and categories from homeware and kitchenware to stationary, personal care and snacks, it's like a treasure hunt for the bargain hunter and a gold mine for the value lover. Worth a visit ... Hands down you'll buy something, will you ever use it? Probably not, but for $2.80 ... who cares!

Recently it was Snoopy, before that it was Movember. Great for a browse (except when busy. It gets real cramped real quickly)

I enjoy keeping my cubicle looking like a $2 shop threw up all over it. If there's a holiday, I…read morehave decorations. Its not unusual for someone to come around the corner and find me up on the desk hanging one thing or another from the ceiling, or casually blowing up balloons and hiding them under my desk as I go about the rest of my work. Sydney Party Decorations first opened up during the lead up to Christmas last year. It was a large underground hall filled with everything beautiful, tacky, and Christmas, and I bought it all. My cubicle looked amazing. I thought that the shop was specialized and would close down after the holiday, but to my delight it has remained open and just as full of other glorious finds. There's heaps of costumes, wigs, gift bags, wrapping, balloons and decorations in a range of themes, and rotating holiday items as appropriate (I took Easter to a new level this year thanks to SPD). I find SPD has a broader range than the other nearby $2 shops and is definitely worth a visit if you need to spruce up your cubicle or grab an unbranded Guy Fieri (or "celebrity chef") wig.

It's been a fetish of mine since I was a kid and it's never gone away. If it's my addiction, then Paper2 is my dealer - this place is amazing. I can spend hours in this store and it's really not big enough for that but the range of cards and gifts on offer here is superb. There's an excellent collection of vintage style posters and cards which I can't get enough of at the moment. Stop in here for journals, notebooks, craft supplies, wrapping paper, globes... I could go on and on. The staff are lovely and helpful, which is no surprise I'd be super happy if I worked here too.

What a great spot in Sydney. You can take a nice, short ferry ride from Circular Quay to get there…read more There's something for everyone, including the kids. Unlike the US, the food prices here, while a bit higher than areas outside, are not the high gouging prices you see in the US. You can buy an unlimited ride pass (which is a bit pricey), or you can buy single rides for certain rides. Most rides require a pass which is a downside if you want to try certain rides. We rode the ferris wheel which was a lot of fun and gave us some great sites of Sydney Harbour. We loved that the lines aren't long at all, certainly not by US theme park standards. If you have time, swing by to try a ride or two or three and some theme park food.

The Darling Harbor ferry station is right here as well. Just a little walk toward the street corner is Olympic Pool. There are rides and concessions here.
