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.

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.

Once upon a time this place used to be a bit too "tie-dye and incense" for me. Put it this way,…read moreI'm about as likely to become a hippy as Kim Kardashian is to shave her head, join the Hare Krishnas and wear an orange robe for the rest of her life. But that all changed when, a couple of years ago, I bought myself the most gorgeous floral maxi here to wear to a party and spent the day basking in the warmth of all the compliments I got. So naturally, Tree of Life is now on my list of regulars - the shops I visit pretty much on a weekly basis. Although it still smells of incense (which I still don't like), it's also full of the most delicious colours, fabrics and Indian style jewellery. There's maxi and mini dresses, long skirts, kids clothes and Indian-style homewares. And the odd random piece that stands out like J-Lo's bum. For instance, the most divine, white tulle ballerina style midi-skirt I saw the other day. If it hadn't cost $110 it'd now be in my wardrobe. If you're a festival bunny, or just want to float around a summer BBQ feeling like a bit of boho princess, then head here.

I'm not really a fan of some of their clothes (tie dyed, hippy-ish), but I do love a couple of…read moretheir lightweight, India made 100% Rayon top and dresses which I recently bought and wore several times in the past couple weeks. Perfect for Queensland weather. It is a colourful and wonderfully smelly shop (thanks to incense) which often takes me on a mental trip to India - not that I have actually been there but I recognise the smell from my best friend's gorgeous wedding invitations (handmade in India). Pursue the clearance/sale racks and ask the salesperson if there is a sale going on. I quickly purchased my items as soon as I heard the sales person mention a 20% off discount on all clothing - and this wasn't advertised anywhere.

A beautiful shop that I don't mind gushing about, Coming Up…read moreRoses is one of the most charming boutiques I've visited. What I initially thought was another florist shop, this store proffered up some really unique fashion and home ware treasures. Coming inside I was immediately charmed by both the friendly owner and the laboriously decorated and detailed interiors. This store is quite big, with three rooms bursting with products. A mecca of children's toys and baubles, CUR also offers a range of home wares from tea cloths, napkins, cake stands, cards, fun outdoor games and all sorts of crafty kits to a plethora of fat glossy art tomes, bake sets, japanese ceramics, candles, fabrics and much much more. (My favourite section is the jewellery, be sure to check out the chunky wooden offerings from ELK.) This place is PERFECT for gifts, and I guarantee anything here would please even the most discerning human. Coming up Roses is in a bit of an isolated location, but it is definitely worth a trek out.

Easily one of my favorite local gift shops. If you're seeking quirky and whimsical gifts for…read moreanyone in your life or to treat yourself, Coming Up Roses is a great spot to find it. It's also one of those places that have so many different options and a changing window display, so one would not get bored with this spot. Some of the things they carry: Jonathan Adler homewares and stationery goods, Mr Men & Little Miss mugs, various greeting cards, gardening gift items, spa treatment products, yummy candles and soaps, fun toys, baby and kiddie gifts, "treasure boxes", Frankie magazine, and much more! Gift wrapping is available here. Who knows, you may even have the owner do it for you (she's someone quite special!) Friendly service too!

This shop is more than just a florist; it's packed full of many beautiful things - well from a…read moregirl's perspective anyway - there are of course plenty of beautiful fresh blooms, but also potted plants, handbags, and jewellery. Often a florist will have a gift range which might include items like wall hangings, frames, teddy bears, balloons and the like, but the jewellery here makes it unique. I went in to buy my aunt flowers and came away wih a gorgeous crystal and bead necklace. The prices aren't too bad for Manly, but it's not a bargain hunter's delight by any means. On the up side, it's all great quality, and I've got my eye on a nice black handbag...

I like that Manly Harbour Florist has a few nice gifts and jewellery to make it a bit unique. I walked past here yesterday in fact and it was the sparkling pearls in the window that drew me in like a moth to a flame, rather than the flowers. They have some nice arrangements of flowers as well as gifts like balloons and novelties. The necklaces are really beautiful, some jewelled, some pearls and some a combination of both.
