HIVE REVIEWS

A cute gift shop that always has me curious enough to want to drop by whenever I pass through the Braddon neighbourhood. Whether its looking for a gift for someone or to simply get inspired for future gift ideas. It caters to a wide range of different tastes. Love the quality handmade Japanese socks, cotton throws, toiletries and gift cards that you simply can't go wrong with when gifting to others.

Such a great shop! I love finding new things in the selection of beautiful, interesting products. Also, I like the natural, easy-going banter with the shop assistants. It's a nice change from the fake smiles and textbook greetings you find in Malls. Thanks.

Nice little shop. I especially love their collection of pottery. If you're either looking for something for yourself or someone else, there are lots to choose from.

THE BOWER BIRDS ACT REVIEWS

I love this little shop! There is so much to look at and everything is unique. The staff are absolutely lovely and they sometimes have dahlias supplied by local farmers that are just magnificent. The range of spreads / jams is very nice too! There is a really nice sense of community in this shop.

Incredible shop! Perfect little shop for that unique gorgeous gift for any occasion! Located in a beautiful space in the heart of a little village. It’s a must stop when visiting canberra! The owners are beautiful humans and are always up for a chat , joke or ready to assist you with ideas for gift needs!

Great place for unique and different gifts. Very busy place today as people make there last minute purchases for Christmas.
