Don't be confused by the name! Yes, there is a room inside full of toys and kids rubbish, but most…read moreof the store is full of random coolness that will take you a good while to fully ponder. I was drawn in to this store by the funky little metal sculpted animals out the front. The ants, in particular, are very well done. If you ignore the kids room (which is where the cash register is) and concentrate on the other areas you will find some amazing present/gift options and more than likely find one or two golden items that will make their way into your home. Being tight as a fish's butt hole I didn't buy anything, but check it out. Definately one of my favouite spots in Hahndorf.

Housed in a 1880 village blacksmith building in Hahndorf's main street, Storison is a delight to…read moremany, and one of my favourite gift store for family abroad. Be prepared for a visual and sensorial feast as you browse, touch, smell and see the various products featuring Australian design, eco-friendly recycled creations and ethically sourced handicrafts from around the globe. I've had many chats with the lovely owner Andrea, and she shares stories of each artisans products, from Australia and overseas. What draws me close to Storison is their concept of running a local co-op showcassing handcrafted products from Work At Home Mums, Stay At Home Mums, emerging designers and more! Storison also host pop up stalls outside their verandah. Here you'll find creative, unique and quirky handmade gifts, vintage wares, home made food and treats, delightful and soft tailored pillows with gorgeous prints and textures and more! Some of the eclectic labels carried here are Elkwood (my fav!!), Mulberry Ave, Sweet Cuddles and more. Uncoventional, creative, unique and a 'sui generis' of its own. All this and more in Storison, a must visit!

Knick knacks!! and so many different kinds!! Ah Stylehouse, when you walk in it's like being in…read morethis peaceful shopping heaven that smells really nice with perfect room temperature. It's one of those stores where you can spend 15 minutes browsing out the front only to walk in and think, gosh, I need to come here on a day trip! You need it, you name it and its there! jewelery, clothing, pillows, candles, perfume mists, lamps, frames, ornaments more jewelery: Stylehouse covers everything you could possibly want for around the home or around yourself! I guess the downfall is that this stuff doesn't come for free, not even nearly free - no bargains to be found here is what I'm saying. But I still love it, even if I personally cant afford anything, it's fun to browse and try all the pillow scents on your arm (yes, they have perfume for pillows). Quite simply, they have everything! sad that everything has to come at such a high price.

Positioned across the road from the Aldgate Pump Hotel and away from the general shopping strip,…read moresits this hillbilly looking shop from the outside. But on the inside it's all whole new world of modern home decor, which is sure to keep you occupied for a while. A good range of homewares, accessories, definitely lots of gift ideas, apparel and one label in particular is popping up everywhere I go called 'I love my clothes' love spelt with a red heart. It's comfortable, cotton, flowy styles and funky colours or plain to suit either taste. A few really interesting wall ornaments and an awesome put together tree ornament, which I thought was cast iron but once picked up it's actually light weight. On my travels I made yet another purchase here of a pair of perforated black oblong leaf style earing and I don't even usually wear earings but felt like I had to take something away with me. There were several other items I could've taken with me also but out of budget range. Don't go past this place on your travels through the hills, especially Aldgate...share the love as they need it....as Stirling is being loved alot.

Ok so there are a lot of German souvenir shops in Hahndorf, but this is definitely the best and…read moremost authentic. I have been to Germany and their equivalent to this shop is very similar to the German Village. It had stein glasses, clocks and every other German artefact. I love the cuckoo clocks. My friend recently got a tattoo of one on her leg and I have realised how beautiful they are. I don't know if I would be a fan of having a bird tweet at me every hour but they are so good to look at. I also love the stein glasses. 1 litre of beer! If you are not up for this challenge, they are great water glasses. Especially when you are thirsty, normal glasses never seem to hold enough water. Stein glasses on the other hand hold heaps, perfect for next to your bed when you come home from a big night (of drinking beer ofcourse). Unfortunately I didn't talk to the staff too much so I didn't find out whether the owners came from Germany. However, with the accuracy of the shop I wouldn't be surprised if they were. If you are looking for an Australian rip-off of German souvenirs I would recommend heading here!

Walking in…read morethere made me feel like being back in Europe because they sell all the most cliche goods you could possible imagine. Nutcrackers, 'Hampelmaenner', cuckoo clocks, beer glasses, kitschy tea towels etc. Even if you're not planning on buying anything it's quite fun to have a browse.
