The Kingston Butter factory is located in the southside suburb of Kingston.
The Arts & Crafts shop is located on the 1st floor of this historic factory. The choice is huge, and the prices range from cheap 75 cents for a unique lolly, upwards.
There are plenty of great gift ideas for Adult men & women, children and that special occassion, like a wedding or birth of a baby.
Take a ride on the train from Brisbane to Kingston Station. It is only a very short walk to the Butter Factory.
There is a shop that sells food & drinks, and table and chairs inside. Outside, toilets are located.
One of the extra good craft shops to keep in mind for that special Birthday or Christmas gift!

I found the prices here reasonable, the variety of souvenirs pretty cool and you can get locally made koala toys here. Oh yeah, if you're looking for Made in China stuff, there's plenty here too. Sigh. T-shirts are nice here.
What to buy: Get your koala souvenirs, kangaroo fur, t-shirts, caps and of course, don't forget the boomerang.

DFO is a mens, womens and homewares discount outlet on Airport Rd near the Brisbane domestic and international airport.
A nice variety of label fashion and sportwear stores have outlets here at 30-40 percent cheaper than department stores.
If you're hungry, there is also a decent food court in the center of the complex, although don't expect anything super cheap here. ($9 for a box of chicken satay noodles, maybe that's normal in Brisbane these days)
What to buy: Clothes
What to pay: 30-50% cheaper than department stores

Meyer Centre is the biggest department store in Queen St. Mall and offers everything from clothes, cosmetics and shoes to electronic goods. In the basement you'll find a food court which also houses some more shops and travel agencies etc. The other department store, located in Queens Plaza, is called Daniel Jones. Furthermore there are all kind of smaller shops, also tourist shops, like e.g. City Beach, Valley Girl (they also have an outlet in Queen St. Mall where nothing costs more than 10 dollars if I remember properly *ggg*), Jay Jays, Body Shop, Colorado, Just Jeans etc. etc. etc.
I was a bit disappointed though that there didn't seem to be a Billabong shop :-( Maybe I missed it??
What to buy: Australian brands as they're much cheaper here than in Germany.
What to pay: Depends, some brands/shops are cheaper than in Germany, others are about the same.
