Mother's day is THIS weekend

I have discovered the coolest little gift shop in the entire world - and if you're still looking for a mother's day present, you've seriously got to get into this place.

It's called Rap, and it rocks. They have the coolest stuff and none of it is overly expensive. At first glance it all appears fairly predictable. Candles, aromatherapy gadgets, scarves, throws and fancy frames. But they have a lot other funky bits and pieces too. What makes this place really different from most gift shops though is that none of the stuff they have is junky. It would be impossible to walk out of this place with something that isn't going to go down a bloody treat with the recipient.

Oh, and here's the kicker. They wrap it all for free. And I don't just mean a bit of paper and a bow. This is the fanciest god damn wrapping you've ever seen. Of course, I guess that is to be expected in a shop actually called Rap.

Anyway - it is on Bourke Street, across the road from the old Bunnings store, between Hardware Lane and Elizabeth Street. Tiny little place, but you just can't go wrong.
