A whimsical treasure cove for anyone with time on their hands, Look Sharp in Mt Wellington is one of the better Look Sharps in Auckland. Staff members are friendlier, and the items are categorised as well as can be. Party goers and throwers will make it their haunt, and crafty types will rejoice with this alternative to Spotlight. Even great for top notch stuff, Look Sharp stocks some pretty sharp items — cue Wilton products and Martha Stewart-branded paraphernalia. Without Look Sharp, life would just be plain dull.

As I dread spending time looking for dress-up party attire, Look Sharp has never let me down yet as a one stop shop for everything. From masks and wigs, to flags and trophys(for our very own football tournament), Look Sharp seems to have all the ‘junk’ you require. At ludicrous prices(at both ends of the spectrum), you’ll end up with piles of product from the shop wondering«Where the hell did I get that from?» With the shop stocked for all occasions, St Patrick’s Day, Christmas and big sporting events, Look Sharp make it very easy to spend money on timely, and sometimes pointless, gear that is required. Parking is a breeze in the new shopping hub of Lunn Ave. Just remember when shopping in Look Sharp, if you didn’t come to buy it, you probably don’t need it.

Are you ever in need of a universal remote control for a DVD, and a microphone jack converter, and some balloons? How about some car wipes, some charming paper straws or some shampoo? Well, all of these and much much more are all yours for the taking/buying here at Look Sharp. It really has a very eclectic range, and should be a first stop if you’re planning a party, entertaining children, need art supplies, are into scrapbooking, or going to a costume party. One caveat; especially with electronic goods, you should be slightly prepared for things not to work for the rest of your life. If your need for an inexpensive item trumps the need to keep the item for a long time, this is the place to go.

Look Sharp is fantastic! It is the ultimate ‘go to’ place when you are in need of anything! Absolutely perfect if you have a costume party coming up, if you need storage containers, baking tins, hair accessories, material, art and painting supplies, ANYTHING! I could spend so much time and money unnecessarily in this store! I have had a decent look around the store and I am yet to find something that is unreasonably priced. Look Sharp are great at being up today with ‘festive’ events coming up. Christmas, Easter, St Paddy’s day, even valentine’s day! Look Sharp is your one stop shop! Pop on it and check it out! EVERYTHING is there!

Look sharp is a great store for parties. They stock everything from a huge range of costumes, for any themed party, sports day, sevens event, and the like, to party accessories for your house. I am intending on stocking up on all their St Patrick’s day decorations which are hilarious and awesome, and will really make the party at home. They also stock cheap homeware, I picked up a bedroom waste basket for $ 2, and drooled over the many different cookie cutters and baking accessories. Also a great store for present wrapping and gift cards. Everything super cheap and this means you can both have a great costume for your party, and not worrying about wrecking it and it ending up in shreds.
