I think Greenhills is pretty neat if you're looking for a gift, I've been in a couple of times and…read moreI can usually find something for my mum first up. They have a pretty eclectic range, from little collectible hobby figurines, to china wall hanging, Moorecroft style vases & Venetian masks. They also have a range of jewelery available, most of which is made from Venetian Murano glass, it's not what I'd call cheap but it's very pretty and on par with what you would find in Venice itself. Another thing which is pretty darn cool are the novelty teapots, the giraffe is my favourite with it's neck posing as the handle, you don't find teapots like these just anywhere. The only issue I have with this store is it's size, you can browse the whole shop in 5 minutes, the second room is for the embroiderer in you, threads and cross stitch patterns, all your embroidery needs! Pity I don't know the first thing about following a pattern, could be time to learn.

The proprietor Malcolm Hill is very passionate about his art and craft as he was carefully working…read moreon a tapestry as we entered the shop. I was taken with the big black and white tapestry hanging high up on the wall of a scrolled column, which had a 3D effect, but it was very expensive and didn't come home with me. Up on the walls is a large range of sepia photo like tapestries of people and pets, a technique and service they provide all stitch by hand. Otherwise a kit can be pruchased for the confident crafty person. This is the largest shop in SA containing machine embroidered tapestries which were hanging everywhere, and also had a rug hanging hook system for the massive ones for easy turning. A European feel was evident throughout the shop with various items like Venetian masks, china, tin toys, jigsaws, puzzles, etc and also a rear section full of tapestry supplies. A selection of children's books with pop ups as the pages are turned just like those music cards, but playing a tune as the story is read. Malcolm said they're great for grand parents as they can read a memorable bedstime story and is something different. Also mentioned was they are the only shop in SA importing English 3D novelty cards such as for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

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.
