Shopping
Depart Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges with the car boot bulging with bounty from farm gates and provedores, vintage collectibles, stylish homewares, or limited edition art from a local gallery or studio.
Souvenirs to appreciate
Relish the region's creative community providing an abundance of art galleries displaying local paintings, sculptures and jewellery. You could be lucky and meet the artist and find a unique souvenir.
Head to Daylesford for the Convent and Pantechnicon galleries. Call past small workshops or market stalls on your way to the Malmsbury's Tin Shed Arts and Woodbine Gallery, Lancefield's Mad Gallery, and The Gallery Mt Macedon.
Curios and collectibles
Try walking down any main street in Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges without venturing into a second-hand and collectible book store or an antique shop filled with furniture, silverware and china. Pick up contemporary homewares and handicrafts to complement your 'new' vintage pieces.
Browse the antique stores in Kyneton's Piper Street, and linger in the strip's homewares and gift stores. Get the props for a country life from Country Habit and slaver over beautiful objects at Emporium on Piper.
In Daylesford the Lake Daylesford Book Barn and Paradise Books are great places for a wander while the effects of a spa, massage or hearty lunch soak in. The Lark Shop will steal a few hours from your weekend and transport you back to your childhood.
Woodend, Gisborne, Kilmore, Lancefield, and Macedon (don't miss the Amy Emporium) all have tiny stores to occupy you for hours.
Let the pampering continue
Don't leave the pampering and relaxation in Spa Country. Pick up locally-produced body products with beneficial mineral properties, or load up on scented candles. Keep an eye out for Lavandula's lavender body products.
