Christmas can get financially out-of-hand very quickly. Between the long list of people you want to gift a little something to those important people in your life you might want to spoil, it can start to feel like an endless amount of  ‘cha-ching’ sounds as your tap-and-pay card gets approved. We’ve put together a short list of purposeful, affordable and thoughtful gifts that just about anyone could enjoy. These retailers, publishers and plant-lovers are sure to have something for your fussy auntie, your weird neighbour and your hard-to-buy-for boss.

Here’s what we’re eyeing off for gifts:

Buy from the Bush –

Created by Grace Brennan from Warren, NSW in 2019, this collection of goods and products from country makers, crafters and creatives was originally an Instagram account showcasing the products from rural communities facing drought. In what was followed by a horrific summer of bushfires, ‘#buyfromthebush’ became the second highest search item used nationally in December 2019, the business was been able to generate $5 million of revenue within their first four months of business for rural makers.
