A great place to find all of those delicacy's you may have been looking for. Cheese's, dip's. flour's for everything you can make, organic fruit and veg, nuts tea's and coffee's even a few different skin range's soaps to shampoo's and So much more.
They have a great range of food's to help you be creative in the Kitchen form all over the world.
I love the sample table that's refreshed with something new all of the time.
We have always had great advice from the staff who are so happy to help and if they don't know they find out for you.

They now have a small nursery in the ally next to them with fruit tree's of all kind's, you will also find herbs and the veggie plants you've been looking for.

This review is for Nest Egg, Strathdale VIC

I have been into Nest egg a few time's but never bought anything. On each visit to the shop I have found the ladies helpful and lovely.
On this visit I went in on the off chance I would find a Santa I'd been looking for but found other things I loved.
They have a wide variety of gifts, home-wear's and jewellery all are of great quality, the ladies are happy to help in anyway they can, they also have a free gift wrapping service.

I have Heal Sper's and corn's on my toes. I have been looking for a pair of shoe's that are comfy and that wont hurt my feet any more, I found this in croc's.
My feet are very wide and I find as the shoe's warm they get even more comfy.
I tried my mum's on for the day and they were amazing, I just had to have a pair and ended up buying three pair.
The ladies sandal's for summer I never have off my feet and another pair I bought I were as slippers about the house when I don't put on my sandal's.

They have many different style's for work and play. We all see croc's as the ugly clogg's from many years ago but let me say, their is so much more to choose from for men children and women. If you sign up for their newsletter you also get 20% off your first order and get a heads up for any sale's and new arrivals.

I ordered them just before Christmas not expecting to get them till after Christmas and they came within just a few days of the order, so I can say their postage is amazing.

This review is for Hepburn Springs Chalet, Hepburn Springs VIC

Affordable accommodation, Retreat Spa.
We had a Lovely midweek stay here with massage's included for us both I had bought from a group-buying site.

We just loved the retro furniture and feel throughout the chalet. The room was cosy with a Queen Bed a bit of a hard, but we slept ok and woke to a lovely hot shower in the en-suite. The Massage's were 60 min's and again "Lovely" my partner enjoyed his as this was his first.

A Buffet Continental breakfast was served in one of the huge rooms down stair's and opposite there was a huge reading lounge again with all retro furnishing's I found delightful.

The couple who owned it had only been there for 9 month's he said and was going to keep all of the furnishing's and add more, he also was looking for more picture's for the walls that were done in that era.
The Chalet was built in the 1920's and all of the furnishing's were original.
A short walk to everything you would need in Hepburn during your stay and parking out the front

Indoor, Outdoor Gasibo's Furniture and Gift's. This shop had the lot's with thing's to hang from them as well.
There was something for everyone in here, I loved it and found a little sausage dog door weight to hold open my door, he is so cute I had to have him.
The lady in there was nice and friendly with a sense of humour.
It was hard to get parking in the street though we found and had to walk a fair way from it.

This review is for Wild Card's And Gift's, Bendigo VIC

I dont go to the market place if I can get away with it, but I found myself here last week and walking past the Wild Card's And Gift's shop they had a huge poster with the stick figure people I had wanted to stick on the window of my car. I went in to find lots of gift's and card's for all age's.
The lady was helpful as well so that is always a bonus in my book.
There was some great gift's in there and the ladie's are happy to help you find something that will suit.

The website looks to have a gift helper, I haven't tried that, but it look's to be useful and having seen the quality of the thing's they stock I would have no hesitation in using it.

This review is for Nomadic Son, Daylesford VIC

I Haven't seen a collection of Turkish hand-crafts, gift's and arts before like this in one place of such good quality.
To walk in had a lovely feel to it with such color in everything you see, it was a feast for the eye's.
The lady was lovely telling us they imported everything themselves and her family had been in business of this for 40 year's.
I bought just a small ceramic bowl the day I was there, but will go back as there was other ceramic's I would love to own

This review is for Banjos, Bendigo VIC

verified email - 24 Oct 2012

I found Banjo's first in Tasmania where I lived for some time, then when we moved to Bendigo only a few year latter they came to Bendigo.
I Love their sausage Roll's and have always been a huge fan of them.
They have nice pie's with a few flavour's to choose from, beautiful focaccias, cake's, bread's to take home with you.
Coffee is ok so I hear, I'm more of a tea drinker and it is hard to get a coffee right for me, so a lot of time's I don't bother with it.
It is in the mall so parking can be a pain, but its worth it for me for a sausage roll.

This review is for Purl, Bendigo VIC

verified email - 23 Oct 2012

I found Purl just after I moved to Bendigo in the Hargreaves st mall. They didn't have as many product's back then but now there is so many to choose from and it is hard to choose. I have my fave's the Green tea shower and bath range is the one for me, it's has a lovely fresh scent.

You can also choose from one of the gift hampers that they have beautifully made up or you can choose from there range to have it made up for you.

Gift voucher's are available.

This review is for Peter Anthony Menswear, Bendigo VIC

I was on the lookout for a ivory shirt for my partner and found in Peter Anthony yesterday, I've been looking for sometime now and found them to have a great range of all color's for men.

Karen was very helpful and it helped as I knew exactly what I wanted. She told me there was no problem to exchange at all and had one size up and down if needed. She was straight to the point in a very helpful manner.

There was a huge range of formal and casual clothing for men and they do hire for wedding's. I would have to say they had the best range in Bendigo with reasonable price's.
Suit's of different price range's a lovely range of shirt's dress, Business and casual, shoe's tie's, and Bow tie's I haven't seen for some time.

Something to suit all budget's.
