I think appleyards has really hit the nail in the head for modern retail shopping and is one of the best shops on York Street. There is something for everyone here (though mainly kitchen-related products) and the service is warm and welcoming. The store layout and look is very clean and modern, which helps.

I absolutely love Appleyards! It is such a fun store to wander around in as there are so many lovely kitchenware and gift type things to look at. They stock a good range of pots and pans, knives and other kitchenware, as well as little notebooks, fun shower caps, heat packs and heaps of other fun little things. I go in there quite often just to have a look around, and usually end up coming out with something! A great place to find a gift for someone special.

Approximate cost: $20
