Gifts for homebodies, bush kids and everyone else on your Christmas list

FOR THAT FRIEND WITH THE PERFECT HOME

Working from her farm studio in Evandale, Tasmania, Kirsty Hawkins of Noss. (@noss_and_co) draws inspiration from childhood toys to create playful, colour-infused ceramics for the home. Her hand-painted stoneware porcelain vases start at $65.

FOR THE ART OBSESSED  

Rebecca Hutchinson Art captures a softer side of life in the bush, complete with pink skies, doting pups and fat, happy cattle. Based in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Rebecca (@rebecca.hutchinson.art) draws inspiration from the hills and bushscapes of the Riverina region. Starting at about $300, a framed canvas makes a thoughtful gift for someone special — but get in quick, as these originals sell fast.

FOR BUSY LITTLE BODIES 

Quality kids’ shoes are hard to find — adorable leather ones, even more so. Designer Casey is changing the game with Little MeMe Designs (@littlememedesigns), an accessories label for babies and children, which she runs from a cattle station in Biloela, Queensland. Her timeless designs in muted shades are just the thing for daily wear.

FOR TODDLERS, TWEENS AND IN-BETWEENS

Move over unicorns and rainbows! Little Spurs & Co (@littlespursandco) is serving up kids’ gear with highland steers, rodeo hats and leather boots. The range includes the cutest dress shirts, plus protection shirts (with matching styles for Mum). Sure to be a hit with young Swifties.

FOR THE WOMAN WHO WEARS ALL THE HATS  

She’ll ditch the rest of her cap collection once you’ve presented her with the sleek Casuarinas Cap from Homestead Road (@homesteadroad_au). Designed by fifth-generation wool producer Bridgitte Brooks, this felt beauty comprises 50 per cent wool and features a detachable bow (for those days when she means business).

FOR YOUR SISTER WHO’S ALWAYS ON THE GO

With an oversized fit and all-linen fabrication, the Ellie Check shirt by Black Colt Clothing (@black_colt_clothing) blends comfort with a cheerful pattern. Brand founder Katie Hennessy designs and ships her wares from the end of a long dirt road in Queensland — which means she knows exactly what outback folk want in their wardrobes.

FOR A DAUGHTER WHO’S GOING PLACES

Sturdy enough for weekend sports yet smart enough for business travel, a Canvas and Leather Duffle Bag from Kent Saddlery (@kentsaddlery1988) will be treasured for many years (and adventures) to come. Made at the brand’s workshop in Stanthorpe, Queensland, this travel bag is water-resistant, made with rip-stop canvas and, as you’d expect, features beautiful leather accents. For something smaller, we love the Heritage Open Tote.

FOR YOUR MUM (WHO OUGHT TO PUT HER FEET UP) 

Made by Danish couple Nanny and Ove, you can trust that Glerups (@glerups_nzaus) wool slippers will keep her feet toasty warm when the cooler months come. With its natural-rubber sole, The Honey Rubber Slip-On is an excellent choice for the mum who likes to nick down to the shops in her slippers.

FOR HELPING HANDS

Got a friend or rellie who’s always ready to lend a hand? Protect those precious mitts of hers and brighten her day with a pair of River Gum UPF50+ Gloves, one of many soulful styles produced by FarmHER Hands (@farmherhands). Kids and blokes can get in on the fun, too, because the Queensland company makes gloves for all hands, big and small.

FOR THE DOPAMINE SEEKERS

A large and lovely sand-free towel adorned with Bec Fing’s artwork makes a practical (yet fun!) gift for the beach-goer or gym bunny in your life. Bec’s towels come with a handy drawstring bag and are among the bestsellers at Meld Lifestyle (@meldlifestyle), the store she recently opened in Goondiwindi, Queensland. In addition to her own brand, Meld has a beautiful selection of summery clothing (which makes for a wonderful Christmas shopping distraction…).

FOR YOUR COUNTRY-LOVING BESTIE

With its western-style tassels, a Boho Leather Bag from Native Hearts (@native_hearts_) will add a little country flair to every ensemble. And be sure to check out the label’s Boot Cuffs — fringed with feathers and dotted with beads, these unique, hand-crafted accessories are sure to put a spring in her step.

FOR YOUR MATE (WHO LOVES THEIR DOG THE MOST)

Give them a (sun-safe) kelpie Christmas with a lightweight, cotton scarf/bandanna from Kelpie Co. Australia (@kelpieco). For the perfect gift, throw in an oversized tee or a Traveller AirTag Keyring/Dog Tag, which brand founder Sally Mac crafts from vegetable-tanned leather — it’s just the thing for that friend who’s always looking for their keys (or dog).

FOR YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW WITH GREAT TASTE 

There’s not a woman in the world who wouldn’t love to receive a gift card from online store Birdsnest (@birdsnestonline). Based in New South Wales’ Snowy Mountains, founder Jane Cay works hard to make online shopping actually fun. That means loads of styling advice, practical search filters, express delivery and no-hassle returns.
