With Christmas fast approaching, there’s no better place to tick off your shopping list than Rundle Mall. With more than 700 stores, including retailers you won’t find anywhere else and the state’s biggest brands and best range, there is something for everyone in the heart of the city!
“To make your Christmas shopping even easier, we’ve compiled our top 10 stores brimming with gift inspiration this festive season,” says Andrew White, the Adelaide Economic Development Agency’s Executive Manager Rundle Mall.
“Whether it’s gifts for mum, dad, the kids, grandma, grandpa, and everyone else on your Christmas list, we have it all in Rundle Mall. You might find something special for yourself too.”
Here’s our guide to Rundle Mall’s top 10 stores for this year’s Christmas shopping:
UNIQLO
In one visit to Rundle Mall’s newest store, you’ll work out why tennis great Roger Federer loves wearing UNIQLO.
UNIQLO’s simple, high-quality and affordable LifeWear will boost anyone’s wardrobe and their super-cute, printed tees featuring collaborations with brands such as Disney won’t be found anywhere else.
But, this Christmas, you can’t go past their Round Mini Shoulder Bag. For under $20, this unisex bag comes in six colours and is a must have for keeping your phone, wallet, and keys within easy reach. Pick it up at UNIQLO, now open in the Myer Centre.
H&M
A perennial favourite since opening four years ago, it’s easy to forget that H&M in Rundle Mall is the fashion retailer’s only South Australian store.
Featured in H&M’s gift guide, kids will love the huge range of Disney, Pokemon, Looney Tunes and superhero printed tee shirts and pyjamas, while teenagers will go mad for the very cool retro-style branded tees and sweatshirts featuring Coca Cola, Fanta, NASA and Nirvana.
With the Rundle Mall store spread over two HUGE levels, don’t forget to look upstairs, and check out the massive range of homewares too. Find H&M by the Gawler Place canopy.
Sephora
South Australia’s one and only Sephora store is right in the middle of Rundle Mall. Visit to shop more than 100 brands of cosmetics, skincare, haircare, and fragrances, including exclusive brands such as Fenty Beauty, tarte, Huda Beauty and Marc Jacobs Beauty.
Our tip? Buy a voucher for a loved one and they can visit the store’s beauty bars for make-up tutorials to test all these amazing brands and for tips and advice from Sephora’s expert staff.
Dymocks
More than 50,000 titles spread across the biggest bookstore in South Australia – if you can’t find a gift for someone at Dymocks Adelaide, you’re doing it wrong!
Pick up the latest autobiographies from superstars such as Friends’ Matthew Perry, U2’s Bono, Michelle Obama, and tennis champion Ash Barty. Add Yotam Ottlenghi’s latest cookbook to mum’s bookshelf, give dad Peter FitzSimons’ Vietnam war story ‘The Battle of Long Tan’, or stuff the kids’ stockings with Barefoot Investor Scott Pape’s new book ‘Barefoot Kids: Your Epic Money Adventure’.
Or, for something different, shop Dymocks’ huge range of stationery, games, and bookish gifts. You’ll find it all upstairs above Regent Arcade.
JD Sports
The self-proclaimed ‘King of Trainers’, the flagship store for JD Sports in Rundle Mall stocks an exclusive range of sneakers including silhouettes and colourways from the heaviest hitters such as Nike, adidas Originals, FILA and Converse.
Retro is back for the guys with the Nike Air Max 95 Ultras or the timeless Nike Air Max 90 in a Khaki/Black colour combo, or for the girls, there’s the adidas Originals NMD_R1s in exclusive pink or white with leopard print heel.
rebel
With interactive zones where kids can shoot hoops, score goals, and play FIFA on the PlayStation, rebel’s flagship Adelaide store at the Pulteney Street end of the Mall is a great place to go Christmas shopping with the kids.
This will keep them entertained while you explore two levels of sport, workout, and street wear from brands such as Nike, Adidas, New Balance, PUMA, Under Armour and more. Pick up the latest Garmin sports watch for the fitness freak in your life or maybe a scooter for the kids. Anything to do with fun and fitness – rebel is your go-to!
Nike

This flagship Rundle Mall retailer stocks the latest boots, as well as a range of fitness wear and running shoes, sneakers, and casual clothes. Jump on the Socceroos bandwagon and continue celebrating their run to the World Cup’s round of 16 by purchasing this year’s home or away kits for the mad soccer fans in your life.
Koko Black
There’s a sweet treat to be found for all ages at Koko Black in Adelaide Arcade, such as their own take on Aussie classics including the Lamington Slice and Vovo biscuit. Australian-made and 100% natural, you could say it’s a guilt-free purchase too!
Grab a few small packs of chocolate goodies as stocking stuffers or splash out on a hamper to show someone how much they mean to you. And, when you’re tired from all your shopping, stop by Koko Black and enjoy a hot chocolate or coffee to re-charge.
