hardtofind Pop-Up

Overview

If you're hyperventilating just thinking about Christmas shopping Westfield-style, here's a way to calm your nerves. Online gift shop hardtofind.com.au, which specialises in all things independent, creative and beautifully-designed, is going to take a brief sojourn in the bricks-and-mortar world with a Christmas pop-up shop at The Rocks.

Co-founders Eri Stewart and Trudi Jenkins will be presenting an eclectic, handpicked selection of presents, covering everyone in your social circle, from your annoying little brother to your mad auntie to your hard-to-please mother-in-law.

The pop-up will be found in the foyer of 5 Hickson Road — on the George Street side. Doors will first open between Friday, November 28 and Sunday, November 30, and then from Thursdays to Sundays until December 14. Your visit will be rewarded with free cupcakes, and while you're there, take a quick Instagram and post with the hashtag #hardtofindpopup to go in the draw to win every item on display.

Stewart and Jenkins met while working on delicious. magazine and have since become experts in gift-giving. The 28,000 items on their site, sourced from 800 Australian and international small businesses, are the product of countless hours of research. Their aim is to save you the time, hassle and frustration of trawling through shopping centres and online stores.
