7 gifts
A luxury gift is one you'd usually want to see, hold or try before paying for it. Buying it in Townsville means you can do that, and you know where to go if you have a question later.
Premium brands in Townsville
Harvey Norman Townsville, at Domain Central in Garbutt, is our first featured partner. The store carries Apple, Samsung, Dyson, Miele, Sony, LG, Electrolux and Shark, and its listings on this page show the price the store has set. You can ring the store from any listing, or send an enquiry and they'll come back to you.
Appliances
A premium vacuum, a built-in coffee machine or a high-end washing machine is a gift for the whole household. Go in and look at the size, the weight and how it works. For anything that needs installing, ask the store about delivery, installation and taking the old one away.
Ask how long the manufacturer's warranty runs and whether you need to register the product to activate it. Keep the receipt with the manual.
Screens, sound and devices
A large TV or a home theatre system needs measuring first. Check the wall or cabinet it's going on, how far the couch is from the screen and where the power points are. If it's going on the wall, ask whether the store can arrange mounting.
For premium headphones and speakers, ask for a demo. Sound is personal, and two models at the same price can sound very different.
The latest phone, laptop or smartwatch is a strong gift if you know which system the person uses. Someone with an Apple phone will usually want an Apple watch, and the same goes for Samsung. Ask the store whether they can set the device up and move data across from the old one.
Paying and timing
Ring ahead to check stock, especially before Christmas and during the Black Friday sales from 27 to 30 November. Ask whether the store can hold the item for you, and whether they offer finance or lay-by.
For a surprise, ask whether the store can deliver on a set day, or hold a large item until the week of the birthday or Christmas. For a large appliance, a card with a photo of the gift does the job on the day. If you're looking a little lower, our gifts under $500 page has more options.
