Wellness and self-care: Help your loved ones relax and unwind. After all, we could all use a little pampering during the busy holiday season. Try an aromatherapy kit or scented candle from Dusk or a bath bomb or shower jelly from Lush. Jingle in to Mecca, Sephora and Myer to view their Christmas skincare sets or browse trending BookTok page-turners from QBD or Bookface. Bliss! 

Tech gadgets: For the tech-savvy, consider practical gadgets such as wireless earbuds, portable chargers or smart home devices from JB-HI-FI. For the teens or young adults in the family, a drone or RC plane or vehicle from Kmart will be a hit. 

Home décor and kitchenware: Head to Adairs to browse the selection of stylish home décor items like a vase with a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers for the host, unique kitchen gadgets for the home chef or a special set of knives, stunning serving ware for the summer entertainer.

Personalised gifts: Add a special touch to your gifts with customisable items like monogrammed accessories, engraved keychains or custom mugs and photo frames from Mister Minnit. Birthstone jewellery from Pandora makes a beautifully personal gift, blending timeless elegance with a heartfelt touch, perfect for celebrating the unique sparkle of your loved one.

Picture this: Think they’ll like a digital photo frame you can upload photos to (from anywhere in the world)? What about a Polaroid camera that allows them to capture their own memories? You’ll find a great selection at Big W. A set of frames from Habitania Homewares for a special wall in the home to feature loved photographs or children’s artwork also makes a thoughtful gift. 

Quirky and fun: Got a gamer you need to buy for? How about an Xbox or PlayStation controller featuring their favourite game or character, or a Pop Vinyl figurine from EB Games? Craft sets for the budding artist, paint-your-own-pot sets with a plant and clay decor-making kits are also great ideas for the creative type in your family. You’ll find these at Kmart..
