Why buy handmade this Christmas? Forget mass-produced department store “token” gifts. Find something unique and give a thoughtfully chosen gift to someone you love. When you buy handmade, you’re supporting small Australian businesses - often just that’s just one person running the whole show! You allow them to continue their creative work and increase the demand for well made, handmade goods. You rock!! We handpick the best makers and put them all in the one place for you. All you need to do is browse the online market and get shopping! Getting your gifts delivered straight to your door (or the recipient’s) is an extra awesome added bonus! Happy shopping! 4
