Gift giving is a trait I love to encourage. Mrs Red and Sons is more than just an Asian emporium. It’s a dying breed of single-interest retailers who deserve patronage on their generous gift wrapping alone. As well as being great for presents, (think ceramic chopstick rests in the shape of pastel painted butterflies for small change), things here are just special and just so. No matter what you buy, or how much it costs, they wrap as if you have spent a king’s ransom. And where else in Sydney do you get your change on a silver service tray? Beautiful manners win every time, especially in a service-starved place like Sydney.
