These photos are from our North Hobart shop but all our shops have great Christmas decorations and ideas for your festive giving. Why not support your local Vinnies shop this Christmas? How about buying a lovely set of nice glasses, take them home, give them a good wash and polish and buy some new tissue paper, a nice box and bow and there you have a great present for someone. How about a beautiful crystal vase or bowl for those Christmas lillies or that trifle? You will not only be helping us but yourself, the planet and the gift recipient.

05.01.2022 Have you put your Christmas tree and decorations up yet? The cat may be plotting and planning to destroy the tree and Santa's village but don't spoil their fun, just buy some more decorations or visit our Kingston Vinnies at Westside Circle and check-out their display for inspiration and purchase. What's Christmas without decorations and giving the cat something to destroy?! just think of all the wonderful stories you will be sharing in many years to come? If Christmas decorations aren't your thing, then we have plenty of clothing, furniture and bric-a-brac for you to check-out.
