A quality home wares and gift store that has definitely stood the test of time here in Balmain. It…read moreis a joy to browse through and look at all of the amazing little trinkets this establishment has to offer. Although a little small; this establishment is doing a great job in making use of the space it has available. Has its place in Balmain, and would equally be suited to Darlinghurst, Paddington, Newtown or Glebe. Maybe a bit too much attitude for nearby Rozelle. S = stimulating and serene T = timely and terrific E = energetic; maybe a little bit too much heavy energy which could drive a few people away. It is intense. M = magical and fairly memorable.

They told me to come back tomorrow since they were getting a shipment of new stuff the next day. I returned the next day and the store was closed and locked up. No lights, no workers, but with hours sign was posted saying store was open. Odd, maybe there was an personal emergency or something?

Every second Sunday of the month, Kirribilli Market shows up at Milsons Point. It's next to the…read moretrain station and under the bridge. It's free to walk around and shop. I went one time and saw mostly handmade crafts and trinkets. There was even a vendor selling visors for dogs. The memorable one for me was Lunar Crafts because her crochet work was so good. There are a handful coffee and food vendors but not much to get full. On the green there were what looked like to me people selling their closets. A lot of signs read "need everything gone" and "buy 5 for $5". They had mostly clothes but also shoes. It's fun to walk around and get views of the Anzac bridge, the Sydney harbor bridge, and the Opera House. Luna Park is not too far away. Parking - free and paid parking on the street.

This is one of my favorite markets in Sydney.

If you get hungry, there are tons of food vendors. Personally, I have only had the gozleme, which I quite enjoyed. A Turkish concoction which can only be described as a spinach Taco Bell Crunchwrap with lemon on top. I actually planned my vacations so that I could be here on the fourth Saturday of the month -- while both living in Sydney and visiting. I believe they have an extra market in December (or maybe they move the date?). It also happens to be located in one of the more picturesque spots in Sydney, great view of the Harbour Bridge! Anyway, it is conveniently located next to the Kirribilli train station and once you're done, there are tons of cafes to check out, grab a flat white and admire your wares.

If you're visiting Chatswood Chase, you simply must swing by Aero Plus. It's a beautifully curated…read morestore, filled to the brim with fun designer inventions. It's as if The New Inventors set up shop. Aero Plus is a brilliant place to peruse for gift ideas. You can buy funky enviro bags, cute watches and even cuter kids ware.

World is a boutique store that carries men and women's clothes, accessories, and collectible furniture, World is something best experienced than described. Their products are of high quality. The clothes beautifully designed with great colours and different styles to suit everyone's tastes. The rare and collectible furniture are truly one-of-a-kind, from stuffed animals to beautifully made vases. The store's design itself make it an extremely appealing place to visit. The beauty and fragrance selection is world class. Definitely recommended!

With a myriad of color and florescent lights overhead you might think you've walked into a mix between Rainbow Bright's bedroom and heaven. But don't fear, you'll get used to it... and you'll probably like what you see. Vividshop, situated on Crown in Surry Hills, is a mecca of fun children's things and home decor. With worldly imports (majority from India, Asia and Latin America), there's more than enough to splash some color into your life. I particularly enjoyed the Indian embroidered tapestries and patchwork pillows. If you're shopping for a little one, Vividshop is a must go. With princess tutus, darling handmade plush animals and walkable wooden critters on a stick, get ready to be the new favorite Auntie (or Uncle, or Grandma). But don't be deterred, there are items for you in here too. The fact that many things are imported from overseas help keep the prices down. I bought myself a beaded, stuffed bangle bracelet sewn out of fabric. I'm not quite sure of its origins, but it looks vaguely Middle Eastern, is eclectically cool and was only $20. Thanks Vividshop!

They have a wide selection of Australian souvenirs that are of the highest quality. From Sydney t-shirts to boxing Kangaroo items, you name the souvenir and they've got it. Aside from their excellent collection of souvenirs, they have reasonable prices that will not make a hole in your pocket nor make you feel dumb for buying a Koala stuffed animal. It's a fun place to go to even for locals who are visiting Sydney for the weekend. A great place to visit!

Their prices are slightly more expensive, and the range of stationary supplies is severely limited, but you're paying for the convenience of not having to travel far (if you live in Concord, anyway). The shop is cluttered and feels a little stuffy, but that's what I love about it. The woman who owns the place is also a highlight of shopping at Go Variety. She is always friendly, helpful and quick with a joke. She always has a funny story to tell, or weird piece of information to impart. With all the stock-standard variety store merchandise, Go Variety is a great place to pick up a few bits and pieces for the home or office.
