For over 20 years, Selections has been ensuring the very best range of home and kitchen wares and gifts for the Burdekin, under the watchful eye of owner operator, Marisa Zanella.
Steeped in history, the business was founded more than 50 years ago when Marisa’s parents originally established it as a giftshop specialising in Italian gift lines.
It was then known as Amore’s Gift Inn.
Marisa has since taken over the reins and prides herself on the diverse range of products she stocks.
“Quality cookware is what I love to use myself, so it excites me to be the stockist of great brands like Scanpan, Global knives, Swiss Diamond, Cole & Mason and the fabulous Dreamfarm collection, are just some of my favourites.”
“With Christmas fast approaching we have you covered for your pudding steamers, trifle bowls, cookie cutters and fondants, ham bags, cake tins,” Marisa explained.
“Do you need to replace the glassware you broke last Christmas? Maybe another platter, or cheeseboard would be handy? Pop in and have a look at our range of tableware and barware.”
Selections’ range includes an extensive offering of gifts and homewares, including candles, diffusers, personal care items like spa and pampering products, baby gifts, toys, and milestone gifts.
Marisa and her team ensure the best shopping experience for all their customers.
“We are here to help you, our customers, to service our community and to help keep the retail business alive in our town,” she explained.
“This is a great community, and we want it to keep thriving. We love it when people walk in and simply enjoy browsing around and discovering all the lines that we carry.”
“As an independently owned and managed business, I am able to source stock that best meets our customers’ requirements. Chain store managers don’t have this freedom,” she explained.
“My staff and I listen to our customers and try our best to meet our customers’ needs. We want to offer our service and product knowledge to our customers to make their shopping experience as easy as possible.
“Our free gift-wrapping service means that the customer leaves happily with a beautifully wrapped gift.”
And what is Marisa’s motto:
“Be it, practical or personal you’ll find something at Selections”.
