I've had the pleasure of working with Bec on two occasions now including our recent Yelper Party where she took a concept from brief to installation with creativity and grace.

Her ethos of only working with locally available blooms and greens is to be admired as is her desire to teach us all the ways to weave blooms into our everyday life. Best of all her work is affordable and accessible to all. She works to your budget and communicates with you throughout making sure you're across all information and decisions.

I visited here for a Yelp event showcasing some Australian giftware.For the Paddington area I was…read morequite surprised with the price tag as seeing the gift ware is Australian made and beautifully made I may also add. The shop was airy and well set out leaving plenty of room to browse and not leaving you bumping into others or wanting to get your purchase and leave. I love the fact there was a good variety of unique gifts to suit both male and female. The round beach towels are a great find and the jewellery was magnificent and gorgeous. The flowers were Devine and fragrant and very well priced. I brought a beautiful for you seal stamp and wax for $15 and it was very well made and not cheap looking. If you want to browse for something a bit different this is the place, I loved the abundance box that included incense cones, crystals along with little bottles of lavender and more. Though these were lovely they are just way too visually pleasant to use and would make a great item for that side board or table in a hallway. Whilst there Lani our gracious Yelp host brought in some petite amazing cupcakes with little tubes of alcoholic delights made by Fiori Bakehouse and these were moist and delicious and just the right bite size with many flavours to suit all tastes. The only downside to The Showroom is parking as its right on LaTrobe terrace which means fighting for on street parking though with bus stops nearby I would suggest catching public transport. Also available in store was soak society with some very Devine smelling salts guaranteed to leave you tingling with refreshment. There was also Anise Botanical skincare range and I really liked the gardeners hand cream without the harsh fragrant smell that can often come with hand and body creams. Overall 4 out of 5 stars. I will be back for early Christmas shopping.

Michelle, the owner of Nook, has for a number of years expertly gathered a refined selection of home wares, 'knick-knacks', clothes, bags, handmade arts and paper goods in this West End abode. I want to resist this comparison, BUT, to give you context, if you're in any way interested in Etsy, Frankie Magazine, one-of-a-kinds or twee anything, Nook is and will be a delight to visit. This is my go-to store for gifts for myself, cards for special occasions, notebooks and my new favourite nail polishes by Kester Black.

But it's small shops like Hanasho that bring my desire to garden rushing back. His carefully curated mix between greenery (starting from $10 already potted) to airplants and floristry make this a dangerous experience for myself. It's a beautiful store and truthfully, part art gallery in the way plants are expertly hung around the room. It's a fine place for gifts for you, a friend, family or even just because you want something different to decorate your home. Of course I didn't leave empty handed and of course I've got a mental shopping list for future visits. This is a small business in West End that I sense is often forgotten by everyone except locals, but I hope it is never forgotten so much that the doors shut. This is a beautiful gem that must be explored!

The stencil art, pottery pieces, bamboo sculptures, the handmade stuffed toys and everything in between has an air of elegant simplicity about it. Hanasho also likes to keep it local and stocks local artist's wares. What most people come here for is the Ikebana (Japanese form of flower arranging). It's an art form I have always admired. It's not just the practice of making nice, visually pleasing floral arrangements- the 'pieces' are sculptural and thought provoking. I also like that whenever you pop in to visit, the owner can be seen in the back half of his store on the floor kneeling over a new creation. It is his workshop and his gallery, per se. If he's not working on something out the back, you'll generally find him outside amidst the potted succulents having a cigarrette. The owner has a particular character that spills out of him into his immaculately arranged shop. If you're looking for something unique for a gift, I'd suggest coming here. It's full of contemporary, often wierd and wonderful surprises.

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.
