  • Quality unsurpassed

    Remo's own brand is quite unique in a world full of "throw-away" items ... the quality is unsurpassed and the designs are timeless. One of their captions is "buy it once, own it forever" and the goods live up to the slogan. To give a gift from Remo is a guaranteed hit, to receive one an absolute delight.

  • Wonderfully weird and weirdly wonderful

    Strangely enough I have never actually bought anything from Remo yet, but I am still in love with the whole lot. My Remo newsletter is read religiously and I'm always checking out the extremely cool things available on their website. One day, one bright, golden day, I will actually have the money/time/organisational ability to buy something, but meanwhile I am cheered to know that such wonderfully weird and weirdly wonderful things exist.

  • A bold statement

    Although a precise translation does not exist, the act of giving REMO gifts is always 'con piacere' - a bold statement that does not any require words.

  • Laidback and practical

    Quality, uniqueness and its own sense of style. Lacks pretentions and is quitessentially Sydney.. Laidback and practical. It has made it as a global brand and continues to inspire despite being off the scene for a while.

  • Living in the present

    That essential present for that impossible person is now possible because REMO is back. The perfect place to find the perfect present for everyone you know (and something for yourself too).

  • Get a life story

    REMO encompasses passion, quality and innovation for what it sells. You're not just purchasing a product or item, you're purchasing it's history and life story.

  • It must be love

    After years of poring through my coveted REMO catalogues, an interstate move prompted their demise. I reasoned that because I could no longer order the perfect gift for friends or myself, I was only tormenting the shopaholic in me. The long resisted purchase of a home computer (kicking and screaming) coincided with the serendipitous discovery that REMO was back. Reading joyful notes from other ex-REMO lovers validated the earlier feelings of loss. It must be love.

  • So suitable

    REMO's products are imbued with a certain passion, have an individuality and quality unsurpassed, and loved by all. With two minutes to catch the mail to send Christmas gifts to family and friends overseas, I was able to buy unique items, so suitable for the recipients - a pocket warmer for my golf-crazy step-mother in freezing Devon, UK, a sculptural ice-cream scoop for my ice-cream-crazy father with an eye for aesthetics, and a fun game, Pass the Pig, for my flamboyant friend who until he received his gift, had nearly everything.

  • A madcap concoction

    Where else would you go to get your ceiling wax? REMO continues to amaze and amuse us with a madcap concoction of esoterica that appeals to the collector living inside all of us.
