A sister may hog the bathroom and ‘borrow’ your clothes – whether you’re male or female. But like your bestie, they see you at your best and your worst, and will still love you anyway. This Christmas, show how much you care for the sisterhood!
French Brasserie
If your sister has been inspired by Masterchef and is attempting to make a giant festive cone of macaroons this Christmas, she will surely enjoy a lunch from the country that created the word ‘cuisine’. Hidden in a laneway off Flinders Lane, this sophisticated French restaurant offers cordon bleu classics such as salade nicoise, duck in orange sauce and their famed crème brulee. Best of all, this is one gift you can both share!
A three-course lunch for two with a glass of sparkling will cost around $160
Cocktails and tapas
Bluestone Downstairs provides the ideal spot for co-conspiring and plotting how you can make the move on the shy boy in the IT department. With two designer cocktails to lubricate the mind and delicious share plates to fill the belly, your sis or bestie will love the opportunity to sup in clandestine surroundings and combine your feminine wiles. Poor Francis doesn’t stand a chance.
Cocktails and tapas for two $80
Muff Clothing consignment
If your sister loves anything from your wardrobe, chances are that she’ll be happy with anything pre-loved, vintage or recycled. A voucher from Muff Clothing will extend her repertoire even more with fresh, second-hand garments delivered daily at their underground store in Campbell arcade, underneath Flinders Street station. Find designer looks such as Alannah Hill and Scanlan and Theodore, as well as unique finds that deserve another airing.
The sky’s the limit, vouchers start from $10 up.
Craft Victoria
The perfect accessory for the caffeine addicted, that will have your bestie buzzing. This beautifully designed and hand-raised porcelain cup will comfortably fit the standard takeaway coffee cup – and keep her looking stylish. Commissioned by Craft Victoria’s New Craft Project, artists Michaela and Ingrid have designed these cups to barista specs so this cup will never overfloweth.
