local Christmas gift ideas - bega valley based businesses


I feel proud and inspired by the fantastic businesses that surround me in the Bega Valley. In celebration of this vibrant community, I've curated a list of Christmas gift ideas, highlighting products available locally or that can be shipped across Australia.


North Of Eden Gin

Product

My fav summer drink and the gin that converted me from not being a gin drinker to being a gin lover. Plus, they have won a stack load of awards. My hands-down fav is ‘The Classic’. 

Product

Nat is an illustrator who creates art inspired by the stunning landscapes of the Far South Coast; think coastal scenes, banksia, foliage, and maps, all in the most beautiful tones. And she’s just released a book ‘ Wise Words from David Attenbourg’ - a great Christmas gift.

Product

Gardening companion for those on the go. French-inspired gardening belts that hold all the things - secateurs, phones, seeds, twine and so much more. Our family has one each, I use mine for the garden and photography, Mum’s is for the garden and my partner uses his for fencing.

online service

Product

Retro-inspired handmade clothing using vintage-style fabrics for women and kids. Handmade with love and care. I adore their retro-style flares.

Product

I use Kay's products daily and can't recommend her products enough. I've seen her beautiful farm and lab where she creates these eco-friendly products and it's paradise. Real Ingredients, off-grid, no greenwashing. 

Product

I have one of Sarah's beautiful necklaces - a wood and silver seedpod and I love it, the combo of the two materials is divine. All her work is nature inspired and made in her off-grid bush studio.

Last year, I worked on my first book shoot with Compostable Kate - it truly was a dream job!

Kate's book is a treasure trove of comprehensive insights into a topic that often confuses many. This book delves deep into the subject matter whilst also being beautiful and inspiring.

Product

Nat, she's an artist who creates nature-inspired, earthy ceramics - cups, vases and plates. I drink from one of her cups each morning, it's a delicious golden colour with little bees on it. 

Created by Robyn 15 years ago in Pambula, the mag has grown from a small publication into something bigger and more inspiring each year. It's jam-packed full of inspiring stories about people doing incredible things. I have a yearly subscription to this mag, you should give it a go.
