Large hats, long gloves, sparkling glasses, colourful wigs are just a few objects that are for sale. Table decorations of balloons for any age group are for sale and the glitter was sparkling all over the place. Cups, plates, table clothes and novelties were ready to buy for any special occasion. Planning a party whether it is a theme party or not, this is a store to visit. Wrapping paper and numerous birthday cards are on stands. Love reading the humorous cards and chuckling at the door. The staff are helpful and pleasant. There is a huge range of goods to keep you busy in amusing oneself.

After a print of the Eiffel Tower for your France Obsessed Friend? Yup, Typo has it. The stock folders, diaries, gift cards, quirky Birthday cards coffee mugs, wall lettering, fake deer antlers....the list goes on and on! Occasionally they have a Themed promotion. Recently it was Snoopy, before that it was Movember. Great for a browse (except when busy. It gets real cramped real quickly)

The staff here helpful enough. They had a wide range of stock that we were welcomed to look through and there were also a few items that you could purchase. There is also a variety shop right next door where you can find cheap accessories for your outfit and the man who works there is super friendly and helpful. Overall, the costume we rented was a hit! Personally if you are looking for something specific I would recommend Jesters. However, if you are only dressing up for a theme like the 80's or 70's I would suggest any Vinnies or Salvos would probably get the job done just the same.

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!

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.

Doris Day plays in the background, the tattoo covered sales girl keeps on her toes serving people and suits walk in and out on their lunch break. It's a mixed bag of influences this wee shop. There are pink staplers, helvetica letters, guitar on canvas, floral birds with twigs on another canvas, sweet owls and skeletons. Like I said, quite a mix. I like that it encourages the creative in all of us - stencils and stickers and craft paper. I don't like so much the hipster approach. Enter, black and white mug with "I listen to bands that don't even exist yet". It's a p1ss take I'm sure. Another paradox - it has an element of too-cool-for-school but also the cute-and-creative theme going on. Good gifts for the under 30's.

Our first attempt was for breakfast a couple of months ago but because the boy doesn't like bacon or egg and the menu was limited we decided on another location. The second time was a Saturday... Yep I'd read the website which said closed Saturday & Sunday but oblivious still made my way there! We headed down this morning around 11 found a car spot right out the front (win!), made our way in and planted ourselves at a table in the sun. About 15 minutes after ordering our drinks and burgers arrived at the table... A pulled pork burger and cap for me and a cheeseburger and 50 lashes for the boy. Wow! These burgers are delicious! After trying each other's meals we devoured the rest of our own, ordered a take-away coffee and made our way home! We will be back for sure this time for the live music!
