Giving a present is a labour of love. There's nothing better than watching the face of a child, partner, parent, or co-worker light up when they unwrap what you've carefully picked out. Of course, finding the right item at the right price can be a challenge. Where you live can make a difference, and Montana in Pretoria offers a stellar shopping experience. Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or the festive season, the area will have you choosing presents better than even Santa can.
Montana Family Market
This permanent flea-market-style shopping complex in Montana gets you out into the open air for shopping with a difference. Browse the 500+ stalls and you're sure to find something special. There's a wide variety on offer from bags, perfumes, clothing, toys, electronics, craft products, and more. Just be careful: with great prices on offer, once you start, you won't be able to stop the spending.
Kolonnade Shopping Centre
Close to the N1 highway, Kolonnade Shopping Centre is one of Montana's most accessible malls. And with a range of shops, it has made a reputation for excellent retail therapy. You can buy jewellery at American Swiss, the latest page-turner at CNA, or something pretty at Milady's, to name a few stops. The pop-up market, held on the first Friday of each month, provides even more choices to nail your gifting.
Kolonnade Retail Park
Montana is a great place to live, and a stress-free shop like Kolonnade Retail Park is one of the perks. This mall provides ample parking, ultra-clean public toilets, and friendly security to keep you safe. On offer is home decor from Mr Price Home or fitness goods from Mr Price Sport. Pick n Pay Liquor is ideal for those who love a celebratory bottle while the tech-savvy will be pleased with a present from Gadget Geeks.
Montana Piazza
Montana Piazza offers a quiet, crowd-free shop. While it's more of a one-stop community centre, you can still find a great gift for someone special. At Essops Home, you can pick up an ornament, frame, flowers and planters, or rug as a housewarming present. Let's Party SA is a child's dream with its board games, toys, and costumes. A hamper of goodies from Montana Baker's World would put a smile on culinary enthusiasts.
Montana Crossing
Montana Crossing is a large, convenient centre with over 40 stores. Plus, its free wifi is handy if you want to check out reviews for products you discover. For a fashion-driven gift, check out Fox Clothing or Quiksilver. For a cute cell phone accessory, head to Cell Sonic. If you have a beloved fur baby in mind, you can spoil them with a treat, accessory, or toy from Pet City.
Metro Lifestyle Centre
This open-air centre has some worthy stops for gift giving. At The Lighting Warehouse, you can find a trendy desk lamp for a professional or student. Vodacom is ideal to buy a cellphone, laptop, or tablet with all the bells and whistles. Cat Box Pet Hyper is also nearby to make a lucky pet's day. After your shop, you can visit Barristers Restaurant and Pub for a well-deserved break. Their fantastic food specials will put a dent in your food cravings, not your budget.
