Christmas is almost here, but there’s juuuuuust enough time to hop online and order some goodies, guaranteed to arrive in time for the festive day.
Here’s Sandi Sieger’s round-up of faves, to impress even the fussiest person in your life.
Kin North | www.kinnorth.com
Kin North creates objects and experiences centred around the everyday rituals that make life more sacred. They champion considered, sensuous experiences and intimate acts of rest and reflection. From linen house coats to yoga bolsters, loose leaf tea to my favourite Loco Love chocolates, Kin North offers a variety of products and experiences to connect with yourself. My current favourite Kin North offering is Home – Japanese incense and French perfumery packaged in a distinctly Melbourne style, evoking warm feelings of home.
Bondi Joe | www.bondijoe.com
For the beach loving, bar hopping, stylish and planet conscious man in your life, look no further than Bondi Joe.
Bondi Joe’s swim trunks are the perfect stocking filler or feature pressie this Christmas! Every Dad, brother, boyfriend or bestie will go crazy over these day-to-night swim trunks that double up as casual shorts. Designed lining-free for all-day comfort with quick-drying fabric made from 100% recycled material, including recycled plastic water bottles (so it’s a gift for the man in your life & for the Earth)!
Australian Distilling Co. | https://australiandistillingco.com.au
The Australian Gin from the Australian Distilling Co.’s signature range combines juniper, cardamom and nutmeg, and is best garnished with a slice of cucumber and rosemary. It’s festive, it’s delicious, it’s essentially mandatory at Christmas lunch. Thank me later.
Razzino Furniture | https://razzinofurniture.com.au
I’m a little obsessed with terrazzo everything at the moment and with an impending home renovation in 2021, I’m so excited to start planning and decorating. On the top of my list are a few of these gorgeous side tables. Serious swoon.
Remedy Kombucha | www.remedydrinks.com
Remedy makes Australia’s best kombucha – and I’d know, I’ve tried them all. I drink at least one bottle of Remedy’s kombucha every day. At least one, and at most four. I am addicted. With a variety of flavours and no sugar (unlike many others on the market that dare to call themselves kombucha), plus an array of fermented goodness, Remedy kombucha is health in an amber glass bottle. But a slab for all your mates this Christmas – a slab of kombucha.
Erstwilder | www.erstwilder.com
If you’re not familiar with Erstwilder, they are an Australian designer and producer of collectible, limited-edition accessories including earrings, necklaces and brooches.
Just in time to kick-start the official Christmas shopping period, Erstwilder has teamed up with fellow Aussie creative, Pete Cromer (designer and illustrator) to create a set of bright and colourful accessories celebrating some of Australia’s favourite (and cutest) native animals as well as everyone’s most-loved Christmas figures – think Koalas, Echinidas, Galahs and even a Tassie Devil as well as Santa Claus, Mrs Claus, Dasher the Reindeer and a Snowman.
BLUNT Umbrellas | https://bluntumbrella.com.au/
Jasmine Dowling is the Brisbane-based creative behind Studio Jasmine, known for her dreamy colour palettes and hand lettering. The hand-painted foliage designs reminiscent of nostalgic pressed flowers. In autumnal hues of peachy pink, sunflower yellow and burnt copper, the palette reflects the signature Studio Jasmine aesthetic.
BLUNT Umbrellas are made for extremes – wind tested in winds of up to 113km/h. The BLUNT Umbrella is a perfect blend of form and function, and is made to be the only umbrella you’ll ever need – reducing the millions of umbrellas ending up in landfill each year.

Blushing savoury pink, Grant Burge NV Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay Rosé is the go-to gift for those who love the finer things in life. Rich red berries accented by dusky florals and sweet spicy notes. A generous creamy mouthful balanced with crisp acidity and vibrant fruit-driven flavours. Available at Liquorland, First Choice, Vintage Cellars and Independent Liquor Retailers nationally at RRP $29.99.
Class A Jewellers | https://classa.com.au
The perfect personalised accessory, Class A Jewellers on-trend petite initial necklace looks fantastic on its own or layered with other pieces. Featuring your choice of letter delicately suspended from a fine 9ct gold or sterling silver chain.
