Christmas Gift Guide: For the Ladies

Oooh err, do we have some delightful things in for the ladies in your life this year.

First up has to be these luscious new body products from Australian label Leif. They feature pure essential oils and natural botanical extracts, the hero being the unique and diverse flora that we enjoy in Australia. Lemon myrtle, lillypilly, kakadu plum, eucalyptus and macadamia nut all get to star in these beautifully packaged products.

 

 

They smell delicious and are fantastic on your skin. On offer are body cleansers, body butters, hand wash and hand balm. And don't miss the Body Duo - in a pretty box you'll find a matching body balm and cleanser for just $39.95 - that's a saving of $7.95 when you buy them in the kit rather than separately. And did I mention how NICE they look? Who wouldn't want to unwrap one of these, I say!

Little Little Odd Forest bags are always exciting. Featuring gorgeous fabrics, all different but all delightful, and a few different shapes and sizes, there seems to be a bag amongst their range to suit everybody. A bright and colourful clutch for your cousin, a large tote for your sister with the new baby, a satchel for yourself or a floral handbag for your mother.

The latest range of necklaces from Melbourne label Iggy and Lou Lou are worth getting excited about. Featuring upcycled porcelain from the designer's own collection that has been made into a pendant and hung on a sterling silver chain, these are something a bit special. Prices are $83 for the small and $135 for the large.

We still carry Iggy and Lou Lou's classic, all-the-time, petites range as well, if anchors, love hearts, cameras or animals are more to your gal's taste. See their full range here.

These hand painted, wooden flower earrings from Pannikin are also a bit darling, aren't they? They'll set you back just $34 and come packaged in a cardboard gift box.

And as always we have frocks galore in store. We can help you find a style and fit that's just right, but rest assured that your lovely lass will be able to exchange it if it is not quite perfect.

Christmas Gift Guide: A Very Manly Christmas

Don't know what to get the boys this year? Well by now you should know that we have the best range of tees around. Take a peek at some of our latest arrivals! There are so many that the hardest part will be narrowing it down to just one (or two). Most of our men's tees go for $50 and are produced in limited runs, featuring the work of some super talented contemporary artists.

A Polaroid camera would never go astray. Make sure you get some film as well because it will be a hit on Christmas day. It's an ideal present, really. Your fella will get to unwrap something awesome, and then have the perfect excuse to play with it, documenting the day as it goes. Brilliant!

Choose from the new Polaroid 300 series, above, which produces business card sized snaps (cameras $99.95 and film $19.95 for a pack of 10 shots) or a working, second hand camera with the classic large format photos ($135-$150 depending on the model and $32 for a pack of 8 shots.)

These socks are from the very stylish Swedes and one pair will set you back just $12. Choose from anchors, stripes or spots!

Or perhaps a belt will keep him in order?

Let's face it, every man needs at least one bow tie in their collection. These are $35 and are pre-tied with an adjustable collar, which makes life a little easier.

 

Merry Christmas, fellas!
