Next time I visit MOZI I'm leaving my coins and cards at home. Yes, it's just that gosh darn…read moretempting to buy everything in this store. I remember when MOZI launched and was such a small collection of knick knacks for the kitchen. And now look at this little Aussie brand that could! Measuring spoons, plastic bag holders (yes, they're a thing!), bowls, tea towels, plates, dog leads, napkins, and even candles are all neatly displayed in their "print story" categories making a visit to MOZI on trendy James Street an organised mind's dream. Everything is in its place and it makes it that much easier to find what you're looking for. It's fun without being frivolous and twee without being saccharine. If you're looking for a quirky and unique gift for a loved one getting married, moving into a new house, having a baby, birthday, engagement, just because...you get the point...MOZI should most certainly be on your list. The prices are what I personally would consider reasonable with most items being under $40. PS: If someone gifts me the sequined fox tote, I might just have kittens.

Quirky, colourful, homey and a little exotic: Booty is one of my favourite shops to wander around…read morein. It is like a splash of colour and texture. there is just so much to look at and admire. They have gorgeous hampers that make fantastic gifts. I bought one for my aunt, she absolutely loved it! The jewellery range is really stunning. Lots of vibrant signature pieces with beads, jewels and textures, with an exotic style. I think possibly some African and some Indonesian styles. They have some beautiful home-ware decorations like glass dishes, glittering lamps and other bits and bobs. There is the odd thing that looks a bit tacky, like a bright purple lamp with jewels that I just can't see going with anything I have. But it doesn't really matter because it all adds to the experience of the store. There is so much to look at, you are bound to find a perfect gift for someone or just yourself.

I love this place, it has so much stuff you just don't know where to start looking first…read more I wish I had lots of money, I would buy just about one of everything. It sells just about any thing from clothing, bags, candles Incense Oil, wind chimes, jewellery, scarf's, photo frames & the list goes on. Great place to by just about any woman a gift, specially mum's with Mother's Day not too far away now. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

It's actually a clearance store and almost all the products are actually 50% off the marked price. The prices with the lines through are 30% off.

Belle Pot is a little kitchenware store, stocking anything and everything you need to add a splash…read moreof colour to the most important room in your house. The carefully arranged shelves reach all the way to the ceiling, towering over you full of utensils you never knew you needed but are sure to make life ever so much easier. Clocks adorn the walls as a variety of kettles jostle for space below. The completely open front of the store is partially obscured by a display of unusually designed plates and other crockery. My favourite thing they stocked were the water bottles, which may sound strange, if you don't know me. I carry a water bottle with me everywhere, something which has led to a great deal of lighthearted teasing on the part of my friends. Belle Pot had a display of a few different brands out the front, so I amused myself for a while deciding whether it was time for a new faithful friend. This is the perfect place to go if you're in the market to revamp your kitchen.

The man who runs the store is always keen to help; I like to have a bit more of a browse before I commit, but like all tiny stores, we're very aware of each other's presence as soon as I go near the place. I've bought stable trays, tea cups, a knife, and some pretty glasses. No doubt I'll go back for more.
