Lilly Cooper

Lilly Cooper is a gift shop in Manuka’s Style Arcade, offering a broad mix of practical, playful and decorative presents. Its online range is organised around the recipient or occasion, with sections for home and lifestyle, women, teens, babies and children, men, fun things and gift hampers. There are also collections for birthdays, housewarmings, weddings, baby showers, teachers, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter, making it a useful stop when you know the occasion but have not settled on a present.

The selection spans reusable cups and bottles, barware, candles, garden and homewares, wall art, jewellery, sleep and pamper products, scarves, bags, toys, books, games, stationery, greeting cards and pet-related gifts. For something more light-hearted, the store also lists fidgets, novelty products, smelly balls and items described as rude words. Food and drink-related gifts are represented by baking mixes, sweets, sauces and cocktail mixes, while gift cards offer a simpler option when the recipient’s taste is difficult to predict.

A featured range is Huski’s insulated drinkware, including wine coolers, wine tumblers, champagne flutes and beer coolers. The Huski Wine Cooler is designed for most 750ml wine and champagne bottles and is described as keeping drinks chilled for up to six hours without ice or condensation. The Wine Tumbler 2.0 has a detachable stem, a 355ml capacity and a lid, with packaging intended for gifting. These products give the store a strong option for hosts, outdoor entertaining and people who enjoy well-designed everyday accessories.

The store describes itself as colourful and lively, with a mix of quirky, luxe and fun products selected to make gifting feel personal. Lilly Cooper’s story stretches back more than 36 years, beginning as the family-run Living in Style, founded by Wendy Loftus. Meischa Napthali took over eight years ago and renamed the business, continuing its focus on thoughtful and unexpected gifts for Canberra’s community. The shop suits anyone shopping for a birthday, milestone or small gesture, including visitors to Manuka, locals needing a last-minute idea and people buying for children, teenagers or adults. Lilly Cooper also ships daily across Australia and overseas, with in-store pickup available at the Manuka address.
