Aussie Christmas Gift Guide for Her: 2020
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that supporting your local community, makers, creators, friends and family is more important than anything. Instead of pumping your money into big corporations this Christmas, why not support our fellow Aussies who have been doing it tough? There are so many incredible small businesses out there that offer so much bang for your buck, and this Christmas, I challenge you to support these businesses and buy your gifts from there.
I have written this gift guide to inspire you to shop local, and I know there is something for everyone in this guide. If you’ve got any businesses to add, please feel free to comment their names and URL in the comments section. I’ve handpicked every single one of these products as I’ve either used them and love them, they’ve been personally recommended to me or I bloody LOVE what they are all about and think they deserve so much success. Happy shopping friends x
