GOODS has two meanings. Firstly, it is our guide to innovative objects from Perth and around the world, and secondly, GOODS can't be bad. A resource for gift buyers, home-makers, scene-stealers, trend-watchers and possibly even shoplifters, GOODS isn't about making your credit card cry, it's about setting your standards high.
Ant Farm
Ant farms (or formicariums, if your dad is a scientist) are not new. They are, however, on the cusp of being shit-hot right now. The enduring appeal of the ant farm is proven by the ongoing popularity of the (now irrelevant) George Orwell novel of the same name.
An ant farm is simply a sand-filled vivarium with glass on either side so you can clearly observe your prisoners.
Ghost Gum jewellery
Hair is an anomaly, when you think about it. Grown on your head, it's a prized mane of beauty and health. But in your soup, it's on par with fingernails and band-aids - something foreign and gross.
That is, until local lass Jessyca Hutchens takes said hair from someone else's head (that is, not literally - via a supplier) and weaves it together with silk, leather and silver into ethereal neckpieces, earrings and tassels.
Matina Amanita Autumn Winter 2010
If unicorns were to have tiny, gem-encrusted jewellery boxes, they'd probably be full-to-overflowing with Matina Amanita's latest range of stardusted neckpieces, spacerock rings, and earrings draping straight from heaven itself.
And, if Princess Unicorn, living in a miniature palace off the Moonlight Express, were to paw through and sigh, 'Oh, what bit of whimsy shall I ice myself with today? This bedevilled black pearl number? This charming likeness of cousin Raziele-le-le? This darling rose ring?.
CB I Hate Perfume
Of all the senses associated with the human body, the sense of smell is my favourite. Always has been. So much so that my parents (upon my request) actually gave me a bottle of Brut 33 for my eighth birthday. It was on this fateful day that I first realised that we, as humans, generally smell bad.
Soap Controllers
Have you got a girlfriend who always hassles you to do stuff besides play video games? Does she ask you to do crazy things like 'show her some affection'? 'Wash the dishes'? Or (sharp intake of breath) even wash yourself?
If you'd like these requests to end in a manner that doesn't involve your lovely girlfriend yanking the power cord from the console and beating you with it, consider getting a hold of one of Third Drawer Down's video game controller soaps.
Malmo Chinos
There comes a time in every man's life when he realises that ‘change' is unavoidable - we're talking about a change in pant wear. For whatever reason, whether it's due to current trousers being too old, too tight or too worn - the decision to throw away these slacks in effort to becoming a sharper, more finely dressed individual is risky business.
WORTHIS shoes
The oldest pair of shoes I own were my grandmother's. They are camel in colour, lined with wool and have no-nonsense stitching all the way 'round. Honestly, these things have been going for 50 years and are staying together better than the shit bricks I bought last week.
My grandmother was Ukrainian.
