No matter how thoughtful you are, buying gifts for your loved ones is tough! What if they already have something similar? How much should you spend? What if they hate it? Unfortunately, buying pressies for your nearest and dearest is just a fact of life (unless you want to be that person…) so we’ve rounded up Perth’s best gift stores so you can at least enjoy yourself while undertaking the daunting task of buying presents.
Here are 14 of Perth’s best gift stores. And while you’re at it, why not get a gift for yourself too?
Ware
Mount Lawley and Northbridge
If you can walk into Ware and not buy a gift for yourself then you are superhuman and need to be congratulated. Full of quirky clothes, cute jewellery, fun homewares and some of the best cards and wrapping paper around, you'll be spoilt for choice here.
Daisy & Rowe
Bassendean
Daisy & Rowe have got you sorted when it comes to homewares, books, greeting cards and fresh cut flowers. They’ve also got some beautiful women's fashion and jewellery as well as some goodies for the gents and babies.

Eillo
Northbridge
The crew at Eillo brew a mean cup of joe, but stepping in here before you’re properly caffeinated can be dangerous. You might accidentally walk out with a shopping bag full of candles and homewares or a beautiful leather clutch. They’ve also got a few goodies for your pooch.

Corner Store
Fremantle and Claremont
