Grab a friend or herd the family and make a day out of it. Head to a local barista for your morning brew, visit your nail tech, have a browse at a few of your favourite clothing stores, then dive into the shopping at the variety of small makers and boutiques. Then it’s off to your local grocer to stock your shelves with the finest fresh produce for a vibrant Christmas lunch they’ll remember.
Second hand clothing and bric-a-brac? Head to Scavengers. Want to sew your own? Anne’s Discount Fabrics is so much better value than the big retailers. Want to give the gift of health and wellbeing? Eve Studio comes highly-recommended. Gifts for the musician in your life (or a little self-gifting perhaps?), speak to the experts at Volaris Music Centre.
Arts and crafts lovers? That Paper Joint is a truly unique experience and an absolute must-visit for the creative people in your life. Of course, you’ll need some delightful treats for Christmas lunch, so you won’t be able to go past Pantheon Continental Cakes. If in doubt, there are few better presents than a book, so check out Brunswick Bound.
Of course, if you want to forego cooking altogether, just book one of Sydney Road’s superb cafes and restaurants that’ll be more than happy to cater to your every whim and handle all of the washing up. Download the eating and venue guide here.
