Geoffs Emporium

There are not enough words to explain how great this place is. It is my candy store! I can never go into this store without buying at least something. They have the basic art supplies to the advance supplies; it works for any type of artist you are. 

If you're a crafty person like me then this is the best store to just browse around. I've spent hours just browsing around to get ideas. The prices are also quite fair. I suggest a look around here on a Saturday morning. You're sure to get a project idea to occupy the rest of your day.

Such a great place to get everything you could need for a dress up party! There are a heap of costumes and accessories and a massive range of fabrics so you could even make your own. I spend ages in this store hunting around for stuff that I never even knew that I needed. Definitely dont go to this place if you are in a rush because its sometimes hard to find everything you need as its not the most organised place. The staff are pretty friendly and the ladies who cut the fabric and help with the sewing stuff are very clued up and knowledgable on all things sewing. Parking is on Dominion road or in eden quarter so you have to time the bus lanes right so you dont get towed away!

I have found everything from doorknobs to starry glittery tulle to books to fabric paint, stick on gemstones, t shirts, books, even bags of chupa chups to bubble bath. Best selection of costumes and lots of toys like a $2 shop but without the toxic smell and tackiness. I love geoff’s!
