Opus

An awesome and wide selection of things — from jokey gifts and kids toys and accessories, to higher end kitchen and homewares.
Opus gets full points from me thanks to a Christmas stop I made. In a tearing hurry, Opus was ridiculously crowed but the assistant was quick and helpful about checking stock for me, super apologetic about having sold out, and when my shopping bag (from another store!) broke, he was there with an Opus bag, helping me gather everything up.
Awesome stock, awesome staff, awesome shop :)

This is the one stop shop for a treasure chest of fashionable toys, small gifts, books, frames, pencils, and mostly any other design related, yet iconic prezzie you’d want to buy someone.
It’s hard not to find something you’d like to buy in here, much like the IKEA experience, it’s often thought that once you enter you should receive a shopping bag, or basket.
Prices are mixed, but mostly they’re affordable, compared to other designer chic shops like Top3, this is definitely less expensive, and although not up to the same standards, you’ll be hard pressed to find the origins of similar gifts at both stores, so who cares really.

Opus is a pretty cool shop, they sell tape dispensers which are a tape (cassette tape). I love shops, which exude the kind of imagination of Opus, they are loaded with unlimited ideas. They sell a computer mouse in the form of a red brick, they coolest thing I think I have seen there is Granny Battles which are two battery operated grandmas who fight each other with a rolling pin and frying pan. They have a Rubic’s Cube speaker and some very funky headphones. Most of the stuff they sell, no one really needs, but none the less it is all fun.
Leaning towards another angle they also sell stuff people do need, such as kitchenware, they have the funky range of coloured Bodum toasters, kettles and blenders. Also they sell skincare for men and women.
Opus is very much a mixed bag of fun for everyone.

It’s really worth heading into Opus Designs on Oxford Street in Paddington if you’re after a gift, something for your place or let’s me be frank, something a bit silly. There’s so much stuff in here and it varies from funny to stupid to rude and crude. There’s book ends, mugs, picture frames, scents, umbrella’s, things for the kitchen and things for the kids.
If you need to by something for someone, whether it be a bit of fun or something that they actually need then it’s a must to stop in here. You’ll even be able to by the card and wrapping paper so you can get it all done in one hit. You’ll like it!

If you’re looking to buy a great gift for a loved one or wanting to find the perfect decorative pieces for your home, you only have to visit one store in the whole of Sydney: OPUS. Located in Paddington, this Australian retail icon has become legendary in the type of products they sell. They have a wide selection of novelties, gifts, and home wares that will meet every taste and style. Just visiting the store to browse the quirky and fun things they have on display is a delight. And their service is way above par! To top it all off, their items are extremely affordable! For anyone visiting Sydney or just thinking of doing a little shopping, don’t forget to pass by this great store!

Have you ever wanted a remote control robot, or mustache-​shaped cookie cutters, or scrabble tile refrigerator magnets and not been sure where to source such fabulous items. OOOOOOH man, do I have the store for you!
Opus is a haven for everything fun and whimsical for your home or office. They have a spectacular toy section with something to make anyone grin from shoulder to shoulder. From stationary, to crockery, I dare you to stop in here and NOT find something for yourself or a friend. How do you feel about a mouse pad that looks like a mini rug? How about a reusable lunchbox in the shape of a giraffe’s face? If there was such thing as death by cuteness, this store would be wise to line the back with hospital beds and IVs. Nurse, stand by… she’s just spotted the teacups.

Oh, I love this store. It’s so much fun. It’s like a toy store for adults… (actually rereading that it sounds wrong)… well think more along the lines of fun awesome prezzies you want to give your friends for their birthdays — because your gift reflects positively on you.
Opus is situated on the top half of Oxford street and contains a wonderful array of books, cards, homewares and novelty items. It’s all quite classy so even if you’re getting a «Captain Ketchup» ($ 12.95) squirt your tomato sauce gun, its designed so beautifully your house will look better for it.
Prices vary as they have a mix of chic and cher. Whatever your budget you’re guaranteed to find something you like in this shop.
There is a HUGE range — many colours with many different options. I always stop by this store to find something special for my friends. The stores been around since 1968 and I sincerely believe all those years of finessing purchasing has paid off.
Friends, if you want to buy me a birthday present — I can recommend anything here… as for everyone else — I promise you, discovering this store is my gift to you…
