The Art Gallery of New South Wales is a great place to start your Christmas shopping. The Gallery Shop prides itself on being Australia's most comprehensive supplier of art books and also offers a beautiful selection of gifts for all the family.
The Gallery Shop has a fantastic selection of children's books, craft ideas and clothing. For the younger children the charming Christmas pop-up books First Noel by J Pienkowski and the Twelve Days of Christmas by Robert Sabuda are delightful gifts. From overseas the Shop stocks hip and stylish Christmas Tree Decorations and traditional Advent Calendars from the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
The craft ideas are endless. For under $15 choose a crayon kit for creating your own T-shirt design, excellent watercolour and pastel sets and Origami and photo sensitive paper sets.
For people who like to write, the moleskine diaries include a removable 2005 address book and are priced from $27. Margaret Preston print scarves, Brett Whiteley porcelain mugs, Eric Thake's popular Sydney Opera House drawing on the gallery tea towels, exquisite Japanese paper designed photo albums and origami earrings the list is endless……
