Kaboodle Designs

Pretty, pretty, pretty things. Oh you pretty things. Girlie, feminine, flirtatious, whimsical things is where Kaboodle’s at. They stock pretty dresses, pretty scarves, pretty jewellery, pretty cards… you get the idea. Even the way the sun-​dresses are aligned on the racks is gorgeous.
If you are looking for a gift for any level of female from a girlie-​girl to someone who is more inclined to dabbling in frillage, or something gorgeous to remind yourself the world is not such a bad place after all, I definitely recommend a visit to Kaboodle. In case you’re wondering I’m one of the latter and not really a girlie girl but I do still like to look at pretty things.

I simply had to stop to explore this latest edition to Newtown’s alternative streets. Kaboodle’s peppermint striped shop façade gives an indication of what they sell. It is gloriously girly and brimming with nic-​naks. Little trinkets and necklaces are displayed on Parisian style cream furniture, of the sort that most girls would dream to have in their own rooms. They sell pretty silk scarfs, beautiful leather handbags, note pads wrapped in flowery material, jewellery stands, clocks, purses, belts and ornaments that can only be described as random. But chic-​random, rather than random-​random. Racks crammed with pretty greeting cards and wrapping paper means that Kaboodle stocks everything needed for last-​minute-​present-​buying-​panic.
If you’re looking for a present for a friend’s birthday, or need some stocking fillers or mini-​gift ideas, then Kaboodle will definitely have something that both you and the recipient will love. In fact, you might find it hard to give it away.
