We all know a factory outlet tend to be cheaper than buying from a department store and Sheridan at…read moreMt Gravatt is no different. You can buy Sheridan towels and bed linen at Myers, David Jones or Harvey Norman but you could save up to 50% on the same item if you buy from the Sheridan outlet at Mt Gravatt. Plus there's the bonus of easy parking at the Mt Gravatt homemaker centre and the Sheridan outlet stock a wider range of products. The easy going staff don't even seem to mind me burrowing my face in their soft Egyptian cotton towels. If you have zero tolerance for using scratchy, faded towels after bathing, then the Sheridan outlet is the place to go at least once a year to maintain a fluffy supply without blowing your budget.

Their range is decent and the prices are reasonable but don't come here for funky designs or high end solutions. The closest I've seen to modern lighting solutions were some chandeliers made from brightly coloured acrylics. Their range of children's lighting are uninspiring with one particular clown shaped lamp just downright scary. I always imagined kids lighting could be a lot of fun with revolving mobiles creating cool shadows on the walls. This is not that sort of light shop. Shop here if you are on a budget and your only requirement for a light is that it enables you to see across the room at night.

Im not entirely sure that i would have ever gone to spotlight on my own accord because as far as i…read morewas concerned it was a shop that sold cloth and sewing gear and that is something i have no interest in. I was however dragged their to buy bedding and pillows and was actually surprised at the size of the place. If you are looking for bedding towels and like me are impartial to designs and thread count then you cant go wrong with Spotlight. As well as all this they do have a party section which is something I am definitely taking advantage of for those fun but some times annoying dress up parties. All you need is a bit of creativity and with the huge amount of party supplies that they have. Its also fairly inexpensive and will be allot cheaper than buying or hiring a costume. I would just advise that when you go with your spouse you know what you are looking for because through personal experience you can end up staying there allot longer and buying allot of things you don't really need for the house.

While I love home decorations, I admit I'm a terrible DIY renovator. I hate sandpapering surfaces, painting walls, sewing curtains, in short anything that may cause perspiration. What I do like to do is buy cushions, candles and any sort of furnishings that may transform the room without any effort on my part. This is where Spotlight comes in. They have the A-Z of home decorations from already made curtains to cute toothbrush holders. For crafters, the Mt Gravatt Spotlight has a huge selection of supplies for quilting, embroidery, jewellery making, knitting and scrapbooking. It's bigger than Lincraft and Riots Art Supplies put together. Unfortunately, this has been at the expense of their sewing section which has been dramatically downsized in the past few years. They still stock a decent range of fabrics but only the most popular silks and satins are making the cut. If you can't nip down to Spotlight without the kids and hubby, never fear. There is an awesome helium balloon counter at the back of Spotlight. Just pick their favourite balloon design, the lovely staff on duty will fill it up with helium and you can shop in peace while your kids are entertained by shiny, nylon sharks, tigers and seahorses. The bonus is that these bobbing creatures act as beacons so that you don't have to worry about losing your kid in the maze which is Spotlight.
