Where Melbourne Goes For Gifts

Welcome to Homing Instincts – Melbourne’s one-stop-shop for all things Gifts, Cards and Homewares. We like to think we're pretty funny, but we’ll let you be the judge of that! With over 30,000 different items online and in-store, we cater to all ages, price ranges and interests, so you will always find that perfect present that you can’t find anywhere else.

We’re a Melbourne based, fun family business and opened our first store in Warrandyte in 2010. We then opened our second store in Hawthorn in 2012, and went online in 2015. We opened another new store, this time up the road in Malvern in 2016, and branched out again in 2017 to Moonee Ponds and re-opened our Warrandyte store.
