Our story

       

To our amazing Six things community, we have BIG news. But first, a heartfelt thank you. We have loved every moment of seeing you delight in the magic of our shop. 

Six things began online. We grew into a shop at Burleigh and then Tweed. We’re super proud of the 6 years of magic we have created with you. 

So it’s with a heavy heart that we announce that Saturday June 8th our shop will close it’s physical doors forever & become online only.

Why?

1. Magic. We never want to loose it. That’s why we are making the call now. The shop is magical. We want to remember it that way.

2. The old Queenslander house that holds our shop is falling apart. We can’t get council approval for continuing to trade here without spending squillions on major renovations.

3. Our online shop has always been an integral part of our business. We want to give it the attention it deserves. Much more muchiness for your online orders.

4. Unfortunately Alice in wonderland (aka me) has lost her muchness (aka isn’t well). Alice needs to focus on getting back to her usual self. So just a little reminder, are you looking after yourself?

5. We’re entirely bonkers after working such crazy hours. It’s time to put priority on self and family. So another a little reminder, are you getting enough me time?

6. Lastly (but most importantly for your community), running a bricks & mortar shop is getting really tough. So if there’s a local shop or cafe you like, support them. They need you.

....... “Begin at the beginning,” the King said, very gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”

We’d love you to come celebrate our final weeks, have a coffee, treat yo self and stock up on gifts.

Here’s to the last 6 years, and cheers to many more years of Six things online!

Much muchiness,

Jane, Campbell & the Six things team

SIX things is the best shop in the universe (so say us). We're a gifts, art, collectibles and home wares shop that celebrates the cool, curious and crazy... and coffee (liquid gold) - hence we serve espresso at our shop. 

Six things started as an online store in mid 2012. Our first bricks n mortar shop opened on the Gold Coast Hwy, Burleigh Heads in 2013, we then moved to the Old Burleigh Theatre Arcade. After 4 years in Burleigh we decided it was time to move further south.

Our new shop in Tweed Heads is MUCH bigger than our previous shops - allowing us to stock more amazing things for you. You'll be entertained for ages discovering all sorts of things that will make you smile.

Plus we now offer both retail and coffee therapy. Come have a coffee or juice and snack and sit in the wonderland that is our shop.

The Peter Pan philosophy on life is alive and well at the shop. The walls are lined from floor to ceiling with an eccentric collection of items, the shop has a little something for everyone. There’s a great mix of things from rare collectibles, to designer home wares, to stationery. 

We're a small local family run business.  We love to meet our customers and create a happy community for you to join. We believe life is best spent creating and spreading joy. We're a little crazy... so the Mad Hatter / Alice in Wonderland theme suited us to a tea. It evokes fun and laughter and happiness in the people who visit (online, via social media and in store). We're always up for a laugh and chat. So, if you are on the Gold Coast holidaying (or you're a lucky local), we'd love for you to pop down to Tweed Heads / Coolangatta and treat yo self.
