curi.o.city

Near T1 international gates at PER, curi.o.city is the gift stop you walk past on the way to security and then double back to. It sits airside in Terminal 1, so you’re fine to browse up to boarding calls without stressing about passport control queues. Think last‑minute presents, not all‑day browsing.

curi.o.city leans into travel‑friendly gifts: small toys, Aussie‑themed souvenirs, magnets, keyrings and soft plush that actually fit into a 7 kg cabin bag. Prices skew airport‑standard rather than bargain; expect simple trinkets around AUD 10–20 and nicer items climbing toward AUD 40–50. Stock rotates with seasons and local events, so you’ll see different designs across the year.

If you’re connecting through T1, this is the practical place to grab something for family or an office hand‑out without trekking back landside to T2, T3 or T4. Packaging tends to be light, so even the bulkier cuddly toys squash down into carry‑ons without upsetting most airlines’ size bins. Cards and small stationery bits save you from an extra stop elsewhere in the terminal.

There’s no published closing time, but shops in Perth T1 usually trade through the main long‑haul bank of departures late into the evening, roughly around the major Asia and Middle East flights. Don’t cut it fine: swing past curi.o.city around 60–90 minutes before your T1 boarding time so you can compare a few shelves and still make one last bathroom stop on the way to the gate.
