Scented candles
Your loved one will remember you with every whiff, and most good quality scented candles look just as good as they smell, making them a perfect accessory to any room.
BY RBNSN will be debuting at the Christmas market, all set to launch their simple and fresh candle scents. With their classic and minimalist design, the candles here make a perfect gift regardless of the recipient’s gender.
Handmade jewellery
Handmade gifts make people feel extra special, because there’s hard work behind making the gift. Spirit Alchemy specialises in locally handmade jewellery from Brisbane, using stunning semi-precious stones ethically sourced from around the world. For the jewellery loving people in your life, choose from their jewellery and crystals, as well as orgone energy.
Personalised mugs/jars
Glass jars are perfect for storing treats like sweets and biscuits, and you can use them as storage for pasta and rice. A.L.K Kreations has personalised glass storage jars with bamboo lids. Aside from jars, you can also find serving platters, coffee mugs, tumblers, and reusable cutlery from this stall.
Money/Gift pouches
Giving cash isn’t only convenient. It also allows the recipient to buy what they want or need. If you need a presentable money pouch, check out Lady Craftsalot On The Go Co, a shop specialising in handmade crafts, greeting cards, and paper gifts.
Hand-decorated wine cups and bottle
Check out Lil bit of Craft by Kaz and their colourful wine cups and bottles. Each piece is individually handcrafted from resin and handmade in Brisbane. They also have keyrings and festive earrings.
