7 Places to Buy Unique Souvenirs in Brisbane
Gone are the days where souvenirs were tacky key rings and national animals stuffed with a flag in their paw. Souvenirs are really just about triggering a memory from your travels, so why not choose something with a little more class? Brisbane has so many great independent boutiques and shopping options, so we’ve got some great places that you can buy your creative souvenirs when you’re staying in Brisbane.
UGG
There’s nothing more ‘Australiana’ then a classic UGG boot. These sheepskin boots don’t come cheap, but they will last you a lifetime of winters. If once you slip your tootsies into them you can’t bear the thought of taking them out, get a more stylish pair that are suitable for public use.
