Gift ideas

Tell us the budget and who it is for. We will do the rest.

Most people walk in saying "I have no idea". That is fine, it is the question we answer all day. Here is roughly how we think about it, and what to look at first.

By budget

Start with the number, not the shelf.

Stock changes constantly, so treat these as a starting point rather than a list. Ring the shop if you want to know what has just landed.

The small thank you

Under $20

A candle, a pair of earrings, a hand cream, a card that is worth reading. The teacher, the neighbour who took the bins out, the workmate leaving on Friday.

The proper present

$20 to $60

A necklace, a scarf, a framed print, a piece for the kitchen shelf. Enough that it feels considered, not so much that it becomes awkward.

The one they keep

$60 and up

Handbags, larger homewares, a statement piece of jewellery. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and the Christmas present you have been saving for.

Wrapped gifts tied with ribbon and twine
By person

The four people everyone gets stuck on.

  • The one who has everything. Go consumable. Candles, skincare and fragrance get used up and asked for again.
  • The one you barely know. Homewares. A vase or a serving piece lands well without being personal.
  • The one who never treats herself. Jewellery or a bag. Something she would look at twice and put back.
  • The one you forgot. Walk in, tell us the budget, and you will be back on the street in ten minutes.
