Whether you’re on the hunt for a birthday party, a special occasion or simply want to treat a child you know, Elsternwick Village has a stellar selection of children’s gifts to choose from.

From variety stores that can help you stick to a budget, to specialty toy stores and long-time clothing traders, there’s something to suit everyone.

Here’s a rundown of where you can find the perfect children’s gifts in Elsternwick Village:

Toys

Hot Potatoes Super $2 Shop offers a huge range of homewares, knick-knacks and party goods. It’s the perfect spot to find that unique gift at an affordable price.

Perfect Gifts and Homewares is another great variety store, which is ideal for a well-priced card, a selection of wrapping papers and boxes. They also stock a number of novelty items such as wigs, masks and capes.

Clothes

Hattams Mens & Boys Wear has provided clothing for boys and men in Elsternwick for generations. Run by the same family since it opened in 1872, the store features Melbourne’s only working cash railway – an elastic-powered device that shoots cash in a canister through an overhead wire system to a central register. Make sure you take the kids if you’re planning any purchases as they’ll get a kick out of watching it chug along.

Sportswear

Searching for the perfect leotard or leg-warmers for a girl or boy who loves to dance? Capezio Dancewear is the perfect place to pick up dancewear for kids and adults, including leotards, tights, dancing shoes and accessories.

For snow, surf and skate wear, head to Bumps. They have a huge range of skiing gear and accessories, and if they don’t have something in stock they’ll order it in for you. The staff are highly knowledgeable about all things ski and snowboarding, too.
