GIFT WRAPPING SERVICES
Who wants to be up the night before Christmas madly wrapping presents? If you’re like most in our office who tend to leave it to the last minute, we suggest taking advantage of the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre gift wrapping service, proudly raising money for the The Wesley Research Institute. For a gold coin donation, your present will be lovingly wrapped in custom-designed paper by Ted Baker, Camilla and David Lawrence, with matching ribbon and cards. The Designer Wrap Gifting Station is located on Level 2.
PARKING MADE EASY
No one can change the fact that finding a park can sometimes be the most stressful part of Christmas shopping, so take a few moments and plan your parking strategy in advance. You can also find your car again at the end of your gift-buying spree with the new Indooroopilly Shopping Centre app, available for iPhone and Android.
