Lower Hutt Op Shop Guide
A guide to op shop and charity stores in Lower Hutt.
Welcome to the Lower Hutt Op Shop and Charity Store Guide! While Petone might boast a larger selection of shops (check out my Petone Op Shop Guide here, including information on the new Free for All shop), Lower Hutt has its own gems that are definitely worth exploring. As part of my home organising and decluttering service, Tidy Life Solutions, I frequently visit these stores to drop off donations for my clients. Not only do these shops offer fantastic bargains, but they also support a range of wonderful causes. Let's dive in and discover what Lower Hutt has to offer!
