Halloween is one of my all time favorite holidays. I realize I'm "not in Kansas anymore," but…read moredespite this, come 31 Oct, I will most definitely be costume-clad. But, where do I begin? Sydney doesn't seem to have many costume shops in sight. Where can I source that ever-important witch wig or Frankenstein mask? Walking through Wynyard station today, I found my place. Overflowing with outrageous glasses, packaged costumes, separates and more, I would be SHOCKED if you couldn't find what you need in here. Going to a Hen's party? What about a theme party at a mate's house? There's more than enough in here. What if you've always yearned to be a zombie Michael Jackson with Elvis shoes, mouse ears and a Rainbow Bright wand? Not a problem. This party store will cover your dress-up bases, and oh so much more.

Pop in to Everything Party Shop before you jump on the train at Wynyard and get your party fix with the crazy and the colourful. Whether you're after a piñata, some party gags, paper lanterns, catering cups or serviettes, you'll find it all here. (You might have to shift through the piles of products to get to it, but trust me, it'll be here!) This shop seems to get a little overexcited when special holidays roll around, so at Halloween, Valentine's Day and Christmas things can get a little crazy. There's also a pretty good range of party costumes, so if you need a full-on outfit or just some novelty accessories, hop in, pop your party hat on and get festive.

Wish I had seen the other reviews here before I ordered. $300 Express Post order for an events…read morebusiness, everything on their site claims that dispatch happens in 1-3 days and then Express is overnight, right? No 3 days after ordering they SMS me at 3:45pm to tell me that half the items are out of stock (so much for their website's inventory system 'only 3 left' etc.) and they can replace with similar items but don't say what. I respond immediately saying replacements are fine but it's almost 4pm 3 days later, will the order get out today so that it will arrive on time (I think 5 business days is perfectly reasonable for an Express order when Amazon can deliver you a kidney in 16 hours if you pay $10 extra) to which they finally come back and say 'no our postage has already gone out today' and it won't arrive in time... no apology, no 'we should have been onto this sooner' 'we appreciate you as a customer' 'we could send X items today if you are ok waiting for the rest' none of that. Asked for an immediate refund notice (not the actual money just the notice) so that I can have the replacement items funded in the mean time and no response. Had to call (and pretty sure they declined) and was only when a different staff member had the phone and didn't recognise my number to ignore it then they answered. Again no apology or acknowledgement that this is pretty crumby business practise when it's supposed to be a recession and they all whinge that Australian businesses are being destroyed by big corporations. Well those corporations are held to the contractual arrangements they make, and wear the cost of fixing it when they screw up. not just leave people out of pocket and screwed over cause they stupid tried to buy local rather than just ordering all from Amazon and having it cheaper and actually show up. Never again, and will be telling all the events people I know who need to do up venues and rooms for parties to look elsewhere

It is huge. Aisles upon aisles of useless junk, stacked so high you need a ladder to retrieve it, bargain bins with cheap bric-a-brac, idle knick-knacks and useless odds and sods. Christmas comes but once a year, as does Halloween and if there's one place you can go to for all your obligatory decorations it's the Base Warehouse. Santa hats for $1 a pop! Better grab some of them. Scary masks, I'll take two! And ornaments, ornaments, ornaments. You can never have enough ornaments! Specialising in the stuff other stores tend not to carry, if you need something but can't think of where to get it. Chances are you'll find it at The Base Warehouse for cheap.

Large hats, long gloves, sparkling glasses, colourful wigs are just a few objects that are for sale. Table decorations of balloons for any age group are for sale and the glitter was sparkling all over the place. Cups, plates, table clothes and novelties were ready to buy for any special occasion. Planning a party whether it is a theme party or not, this is a store to visit. Wrapping paper and numerous birthday cards are on stands. Love reading the humorous cards and chuckling at the door. The staff are helpful and pleasant. There is a huge range of goods to keep you busy in amusing oneself.

Its not unusual for someone to come around the corner and find me up on the desk hanging one thing or another from the ceiling, or casually blowing up balloons and hiding them under my desk as I go about the rest of my work. Sydney Party Decorations first opened up during the lead up to Christmas last year. It was a large underground hall filled with everything beautiful, tacky, and Christmas, and I bought it all. My cubicle looked amazing. I thought that the shop was specialized and would close down after the holiday, but to my delight it has remained open and just as full of other glorious finds. There's heaps of costumes, wigs, gift bags, wrapping, balloons and decorations in a range of themes, and rotating holiday items as appropriate (I took Easter to a new level this year thanks to SPD). I find SPD has a broader range than the other nearby $2 shops and is definitely worth a visit if you need to spruce up your cubicle or grab an unbranded Guy Fieri (or "celebrity chef") wig.
