Spotlight Kapiti, at 3 Ihakara Street in Paraparaumu, is a craft and home store where customers talk most about the fabric and the helpful staff. Fabric selection and product selection both come up often, and staff are mentioned more than anything else. The store offers curtains and blinds, both premade and custom-made, including Roman blinds, shutters, aluminium and timber Venetian blinds, and vertical and panel blinds, with colour and style choices to suit a room.
Shoppers also mention helium balloons bought on special for Valentine's Day, and one buyer said theirs were still floating two weeks later. Not every visit runs smoothly. One customer said the tills were short-staffed and that a voucher needed manager approval, so a click and collect that should take a minute or two took 25 minutes. Our pick in Paraparaumu for custom curtains and blinds, with a helpful team.
