We have so many amazing boutiques, stores and brands right across Victoria that make Christmas shopping a breeze, and after a year that saw many of our retailers close up shop for weeks if not months, the idea of shopping and supporting local is top of mind for many Victorians. So, to make finding gifts a little easier, we have put together a list of fantastic gift shopping locations to give you some inspiration as we dive into the holiday season.
