Christmas Shopping | Myer Giftorium

You know what time of year it is, don’t you? Christmas season starts in September in Retail Land – a little later for the rest of us.

If perchance the sight of Santa hats and reindeer decorations has you feeling a little Grinchy, then my friend, you need to go and visit Myer Giftorium!

I had a fabulous time visiting last year, and this year, Boyo accompanied me to the launch of the Sydney Myer Giftorium. Coinciding with the arrival of Santa, it was a pretty exciting day. Even if Rudolph snoozed through most of it, bless him.

Boyo and I had a whale of a time. We have a little Mama Boyo Christmas tradition, where we choose new ornaments together every year. We were spoilt for choice at Myer Giftorium. Beautifully arrayed in themed displays, we had a hard time choosing one each. We, um, got four each!

Boyo indulged me by getting a Santa photo. Santa is a cool dude, who was so impressed by Boyo’s gift selection of a Sega MegaDrive that he sent one of the elves to get him one. He said he would be far too busy organising the toys for all the world’s children to spend any time making his own gift!

Insert joke about finding Mr Kris Smith under my tree – that would be way too cheesy. Not quite as cheesy as the joke he made about confusing Christmas for Kris Smith – but he got a good laugh! What a great sport he is. The perfect ambassador – especially for personalised jars of Nutella, of which he was rather the fan!

Boyo was the perfect Christmas shopping companion. The drama of choosing presents for a kid who is too old for toys was much lessened – he mainly just chose his own! Don’t worry, there will still be a few surprises for him. After all, those who believe, receive!

He was rather keen on the idea of a drone that he can control from his mobile. Note taken.

Myer Giftorium is more than a way to shop – it’s a shopping extravaganza! Truly a one-stop-shop and fun family festive experience rolled into one.

Even the most cold hearted of Grinches couldn’t fail to find a little Christmas magic at Myer Giftorium. Inspired by iconic international stores, Myer Giftorium is the only Australian retail experience combining shopping services, in store events and a huge array of themed gifts.
