Savannah Gifts & Homewares

Great little store with a variety of different objects and knick knacks perfect for little thoughtful gifts, I wouldn’t exactly call it a home wares store but rather a gift store. It has many different sections the front of the store showcasing many beautiful bags both large and small, pretty dainty silver jewellery and my favourite a big range of Elk accessories from their famous wooden necklaces to their little quirky brooches — so cute they have jelly fish ones which are adorable.
Another really cool thing that Savannah has is a whole section at the back devoted to travelling with colourful suitcases, cute travel pillows, bag organisers, travel tags and travel bags — perfect for someone who is always on the go. Other items that caught my eye are lovely Mozi products, I especially liked their Zanzibar range which is fun and festive with bright colours, smells that remind you of holidays from hand cream, to mugs, to cosmetic bags to diffusers. Great place to stop by and get a quick gift and service is always friendly.

Whilst labelled as a ‘gifts and homewares’ shop, I’d have to call Savannah more of a ‘handbags and jewellery’ shop. The larger front section of the shop is populated almost entirely by handbags, with pretty pendant necklaces and beaded earrings hanging in their midst. And what handbags they are. Arranged in colour-​coordinated sections, there is some seriously covetable arm candy here. In the back section of the shop is the smaller gifts section, with some very pretty teapots and teacups (I’m a sucker for a nice teaset) and lots of soaps, scented candles and other fragrant things — including the world’s most DELICIOUS smelling handcream. It’s grapefruit flavour, and I can’t get enough of it. The first time I tried that tester, my life changed for the better. Every time I walk past, I just have to go in and squeeze a little bit on. I just want to smother myself in it, always and forever. Why don’t I buy some, you say? Er, yeah… good idea… ANYWAY. Gifts. I was talking about gifts. Oh yes, and luggage — they have a luggage section filled with pretty, girly suitcases, for when a boring old black one just isn’t good enough. It’s a small shop with a friendly lady to welcome you, but you can wander the shelves at your leisure without feeling like you’re being watched by a hawk-​like staff member. Oh, and get the grapefruit handcream. It’s incredible.
