Collected

I love Collected. It is possibly one of my favourite shops in terms of homewares, gifts and knick knacks. Plus everything is super bright that you’ll just want to buy the whole shop!
They stock Lindi King bracelets (which are all bright colours and come with different charms), wall art, gift cards, candles, home aromatherapy perfumes (the skull ones are amazing), children’s gifts and toys, cushions, lampshades, and so much more!
I love coming here when I need to buy presents for friends and family, plus staff are always super friendly and helpful and they offer colourful gift wrapping too!

I only just discovered this shop today and it was by accident! They are in the Bloc Building on Normanby Road (just across the road from the Normanby hotel). On the ground level is the Citta Design shop and then if you go upstairs you’ll find the Collected.
What a find it is!
I wanted so much in the shop. And the really good part is there was some really nice stuff for around $ 20 or less such as dinner plates, various knick knacks, candles and other stuff made of awesome.
There was so much I wanted to purchase. So once I have a bit more cash in the bank, I will definitely be back (come on pay day)!

This is one of my absolute favourite shops in Auckland, it hasn’t been around long but it’s one of those things where you don’t realise how much you needed it until you discover it for the first time. It’s a small shop that is part of the reasonably new department style store called Bloc. It’s on Normanby Rd and it is basically a collection of similar style stores that stock beautiful furniture, homewares and gifts. Collected is one of the best shops in there easily as their products are so on trend and so unique you just want all of them. The shop is a venture by the interior designer LeeAnn Yare who really know’s whats what as well as whats in. I love the layout of this store, it feels cluttered but in a good way if that makes sense. They have so many wonderful things to look around it feels like a discovery. They sell cute plain milk bottles here which can be hard to find, chalkboards, framed prints, pillows, wallpaper just everything you could ever want for your home. I never come out of this shop empty handed.
