🪃 Arabella’s Gift Pick – For Aunty 🎁
“I curated this gift box for my Auntie with things she’ll love. She’s a big fan of statement earrings and loves changing them to match her outfits. That’s why I chose woven earrings by Carly Wallace—they’re the perfect pop of colour and size. Since she’s a foodie who enjoys trying new flavours, I included rainforest Plum Conserve for her to savour the unique taste of native Australian rainforest plum. Knowing she loves art but is running out of wall space, I added “Ngiramanujuwal: The Art and Country of Jimmy Pike” to the gift box. It’s a book form, so it won’t take up much space, and it’ll look great on her coffee table for her to enjoy the art at her own pace.”

Leaning into a self-care package, the last thing I’ve added is a Bush Balm wheat pack which has Irmangka Irmangka which is used by Western Desert mob to help with circulation, sore muscles and spasms.”

🪃 Alicia’s Gift Pick – For Mum 🎁
“I chose a gift box for my Mum because she’s one of my best friends. I specifically chose the white speckled latte cup because my Mum and I share a love for Coffee. One of my favourite things to do on Christmas morning before all the chaos is share a cup of coffee with my mum in her garden. Being in the kitchen with Mum is also one of my favourite places to be. I learnt a lot of my cooking skills from her. Especially how to cook the perfect fish. Growing up in North Queensland we have an abundance of fresh seafood. So the fish soup tea towel was perfect for Mum. It features a screen-printed recipe for Fish Soup by Jean Tamwoy which I hope to make with Mum one day. Lastly, I picked a Magpie Goose Button Down Shift dress for Mum simply because she’s deadly and I think she would look amazing in it. Not only that, we share a love for salt water and the mangroves surrounding the coastline in the hometown I was raised in and my mum migrated to in North Queensland.”
