Zuki Boo & Who

Presentation is everything as my mother would say, and this gorgeous store’s front gets top marks every time. Now located a few shops down the Regent Arcade from their Renew Adelaide pop-​up, the store has settled in and the Arcade’s vibe suits it well.
Stocking the hand poured Zuki & Boo soy candles in some truly delectable scents, this is my primary reason for swinging by. I’m a real lover of a ‘natural’ smelling candle (as opposed to the saccharine qualities many other scented candles give off) and this stock is top notch. Available is different glass jar sizes and also available poured in a tea cup (with the saucer to match), they make great presents for yourself or others. My current fave is Bergamot & Banksia but the Coffee Bean is just right to get your day started (I work night shift so burning candles after waking is perfectly acceptable at 6pm!). Check the candle ‘menu’ for some potential favourites and the staff can let you know when they become available (or pour some for you).
The store also has a beautiful array of posies and floral arrangements with the ladies happy to create a floral arrangement to your colour palette or floral taste for an excellent price, however I can never go past the gorgeous bouquets often sitting in the store front (and often so cheap!). Succulents at various stages of growth and in an array of pots plus terrariums can be picked up and once again, all very reasonably priced.
Other assorted soft furnishings are available, cushions and throws, as well as some stationery and assorted homewares.
A great place to find a gift for yourself. I’m a fan.

What a fantastic little shop!!! I mainly came here as I heard that they were stocking Earthie By Kate products (amazing natural skincare made in SA — try it!), and was pleasantly surprised with all the other lovely things on offer.
While there are plenty of other giftshops that sell all the same products (like a miniature Bowerbird Bazaar — not that there’s anything wrong with that, but they are all very same-​y), Zuki & Boo have a different vibe. Yes, they support local artisans, but they also stock a range of mugs, candles, succulents in tea pots (yes, they *are* very cute!), and other great gift ideas.
This is now my first port-​of-​call for pressie shopping!

Having had a good lurk of places to check out over Unilocal whilst killing time waiting for a car service I decided to check this place off the list! It’s like a florist for the young and funky where you can grab terrerium pieces planted into clever little pots, glasses, teapots and large jars.
Being a fiend for cacti and succulents I went absolutely bananas over the place and was stoked the owner shared my enthusiasm for her awesome little shop!
There was so much I wanted to buy but budget limitations meant I just left with a large jar with some little leafy babies inside for the bargain price of $ 45 (so little considering it has five little varieties included). VERY well priced and lovely woman I want to come back and grab a teapot with some scented candles next time I’m in town for sure so please leave me one haha… so make sure to check it out!

*Insert the same surprised and delighted face of a baby who has just played peek-​a-​boo here.*
Shop owners note: if you want to attract me into your shop just display unusual bunches of flowers, succulents in tea pots and candles that you want to stick your whole face into in your front window.
Enter Boo & Who? on one unassuming Wednesday when I thought I was just going for a coffee in town. Exit a happy Chloe with a candle that smelt like waffles, a postcard and bookmark with a hilarious hedgehog drawn on it and a longing for that ridiculous looking brass teapot with a succulent in it that I knew I couldn’t keep alive for more then 2 days.
These guys know how to do gift shop:
— Service is friendly but not pushy
— The selection of cards, flowers, candles and body lotions are well balanced and mean the shop isn’t cluttered with too much to select from
— Prices are ridiculously good for those on a budget of $ 10 – 50 (ie. for those workmates who you have to give a gift to through to good friends you love)
I hope this Renew Adelaide venture is able to stay on and continue to brighten up Regent Arcade in the future!

You want locally, handmade pretties and smellies??? Then check out Boo Who?
A gorgeous new pop-​up shop that is part of the Regent Arcade revamp.
The pretty display of tea cup candles and wild flower posies outside caught my eye as I was walking past last week and I just had to duck in and check it out.
They specialise in locally made soy candles which smell just as good as the expensive name brand ones, but at a much more reasonable price and in varying sizes. I purchased 2 for $ 35 and she even threw in a small posey of flowers in a mini glass milk bottle. The vanilla caramel & the French pear candles are my favourites, and you even get instructions with them so you get a better burn.
The service was fantastic. I’ve totally blanked on the owners name, but she was so friendly and chatty, and when I commented on her paypal EFTPOS system, she happily gave me all the details on how it works. I’ll be going back for more, hopefully it becomes a permanent fixture.
