Where to get last minute gifts locally

As part of the City's Buy Local, Shop Local campaign, we're showcasing businesses that make the City of South Perth a unique place to live, work and visit. 

There’s nothing like leaving things to the last minute. Unless of course it’s almost Christmas and the thought of visiting a major shopping centre makes you just a little bit stressed. 

Fortunately, we’ve got some of the best gift shops right here in the City of South Perth, so you can give the impression that you have spent all of December thoughtfully shopping for Christmas gifts without even getting in the car.
