Astoria Paper Products

If you host regular parties then Astoria should be on your list of «go to» places. Need napkins in 20 colours? Helium? Crazy costumes? Cute toothpicks with pirate flags on the end? Yep, they have it all here and at super competitive prices.
I recently bought a huge bag of Gangster hats and feathered headbands for a 1920’s style party — at just a few dollars for each piece, it was a quick (and cheap) way to add some sparkle to an evening.

Halloween is coming up! So what does that mean? Well, not only are we slowly becoming a carbon copy of America in terms of our health system, working conditions and economy, but we also get to dress us at the end of October and pretend it’s Halloween!
And for all of your Halloween needs at devastatingly affordable prices, Astoria is your place. It’s a very odd store — kind of a mish mash of everything a business can sell. I think I’ve even bought toothpaste from here. I think it’s the lovechild of a two-​dollar store and a costume shop but when it comes to Halloween, or costume parties for that matter, I’m not complaining.
They have everything from masks, to full-​fitted costumes, to glitter and accessories. Check it out if you don’t want to blow your budget this year. Oh and they also have great decorations if you’re wanting to host your own Americanized party.

Astoria Paper is the best kept secret off Carlisle St.
It’s located in a brightly painted warehouse, and if not for the constant buzz of people in and out, you may not even be sure it’s a store.
This place is a magical wonderland for all things plastic, paper, kitchen and party. Let me explain by giving you a short list of some of the items I’ve bought here:
— industrial strength caterers aluminium foil
— polka dot cupcake wrappers
— mini top hat for a dressup party
— toothpicks with Aussie flags on them
— paper lanters with tiny LED lights inside
— plastic tongs
— glitter glue
— novelty oversized playing cards for a hens night
and a BUNCH of other purchases — some necessary, some frivolous.
They have napkins and plastic tablecloths in every shade you can imagine, disposable containers, hula skirts, pinatas, ribbon, balloons, kids toys, costumes, fancy dress items and man… it just goes on.
I really appreciate that in addition to an amazing range, Astoria’s prices are incredibly reasonable. Certainly cheaper than a specialty party store.
Dont forget to walk all the way to the back to the party goods room!
