Astoria Paper is the best kept secret off Carlisle St.
It's located in a brightly painted warehouse, and if not for the constant buzz of people in and out, you may not even be sure it's a store.
This place is a magical wonderland for all things plastic, paper, kitchen and party. Let me explain by giving you a short list of some of the items I've bought here:
- industrial strength caterers aluminium foil
- polka dot cupcake wrappers
- mini top hat for a dressup party
- toothpicks with Aussie flags on them
- paper lanters with tiny LED lights inside
- plastic tongs
- glitter glue
- novelty oversized playing cards for a hens night
and a BUNCH of other purchases - some necessary, some frivolous.
They have napkins and plastic tablecloths in every shade you can imagine, disposable containers, hula skirts, pinatas, ribbon, balloons, kids toys, costumes, fancy dress items and man.... it just goes on.
I really appreciate that in addition to an amazing range, Astoria's prices are incredibly reasonable. Certainly cheaper than a specialty party store.
Dont forget to walk all the way to the back to the party goods room! read more
