I don't have children so when I'm buying for younger cousins, I'd happily drop a few more dollars…read morefor something I thought was really cool and cute. On my recent venture for more gift clothing for family, I came across Charlie & Me. Its a great little kids store that caters for newborns to 10 years olds and the best part about it is that its affordable. The prices are great and their sale items are such good value especially for new season clothes. Charlie & Me have great muck-around clothes for everyday wear as well as some fancy, out-for-dinner clothes for little ones too. I went there when they had a sale on during a late night and it was really busy, so I can't comment on the service as staff were rushing around, understandably. The selection of sizes in sale items was great too, unless it was just my lucky day! Charlie & Me do seriously cute clothes and footwear for kids. And at such great prices, it a must-stop for parents and relatives for some awesome bargains too.

It gets really cold in winter and sometimes you have to forgo appearances for warmth and so I turn…read moreto Peter Alexander for my pajamas. Why pay full price when you don't have to? You will find sleepwear for both men, women and kids, boxers for guys and girls, knickers, slippers and a range of gift items. Perfect for teenagers. The prices here are fantastic and if you like prints and colour then you will find something here for at least 30% off. Most of the time the discounted product has additional discount on it. I once got a $80 pajama set for $25. The prices here are incredible. The sleepwear is good quality and there is a huge range of product in store always. The staff are very helpful and sometimes the manager actually wears pajamas to work. I suppose she can get away with it because these pajamas often border on the line of what is called 'lounge wear' and she is promoting product in store. Either that or can't be bothered getting dressed for work. Her service is exceptional though.

Value for money is key for shopping these days…read more "Cotton On Kids" delivers everytime. They stock children's clothes from 0-8?yrs I think. Having purchased a lot of items in store, both gender, I can honestly say (hand-on-heart) they are my one of the best! You can regularly find bargains and clearance items. I just purchased tees, hoodie and pjs for under $90, wow! They stock everything from jeans, tees, stretch-n-grows, socks, shoes, sweaters, cords, swimmers - you name it, except children's underwear. Love this brand:)

I go through tights like they are disposable plates and therefore hate paying too much for them…read more Usually I stick to Countdown as the last two pairs I managed to ravage after one wear, it doesn't matter how much I pay for them. So when I finally decided to have a look in this shop I was more than pleased to see that there was an entire back wall dedicated to tights, leg wear, hosiery or what ever you want to call it. This is how cheap, $25 tights original retail then discounted to $12, then take 40% off that, amazing! There were others for around $4 and at these prices who cares if you only wear them once. This outlet stocks Bonds, Voodoo, Holeproof, Jockey, Berlei and the like for men, women and kids. If you had a small child it would be a good place to come for cheap kids clothes. And socks! you can never have too many socks, they get misplaced or one will go astray or the right colours are in the wash. At $3 a pair you could have a months supply and need not worry. Great store to pick up basics.

If I'm going to visit Country Road, this branch is by far my favourite, and I almost always pop in…read moreif I'm shopping at Botany (which is a great mall, with lots of outdoor spaces). Country Road Botany is a lovely, spacious store that's large without being overwhelming, and with a layout that's easy to navigate. It also has entrances from inside and outside the mall, making it all the more tempting to visit, and is located nearby other women's fashion stores, so you can easily try another one if you don't find what you're looking for in here. The nicest part of this Country Road is the service though - it's a light-touch approach to sales, which is such a relief after you've been harangued with endless "So how's your day going/Having a day shopping are you/What are your plans for the weekend?" in other shops.

Most people can't remember the name of this store until someone chirps 'Hey, you know that Asian…read morestore that sells the giant soft toys in Botany!?' Yeah, that's the one. Cube is filled with never-seen-before-items-unless-you've-been-to-other-asian-stores-in-the-city...yes, it's filled with Asian goodies, like Totoro dolls, Hello Kitty items, Angry bird cell phone covers, some bling, some fashion, some shoes. And of course, MASSIVE soft toys. I'm really a big fan of walking around and having a window shop here. I'd say the one downside to Cube is how they don't put prices on everything, so you can never be too certain whether they change the price for each customer, or perhaps they are angling to haggle with you. So be a little careful and know what you're buying.
