Grant Bros Homeware & Gifts is a home goods store at 69 Gladstone Road in Gisborne Central, holding a 4.8 Google rating that suggests locals think highly of it. A good homeware store earns its keep by stocking the things a house genuinely needs — solid kitchenware, glassware, linens and small practical pieces — alongside a gift corner worth a browse before any birthday or Christmas. Unlike the big chains, smaller stores buy in modest runs, so a visit a month or two apart can turn up entirely different stock. Staff who know what has just landed and what suits local homes are worth asking, and regulars tend to do exactly that rather than work the shelves alone. For anyone kitting out a first flat, replacing the everyday plates or hunting a present in the middle of town, Grant Bros sits right there on Gladstone Road in central Gisborne.
