Christmas Gift Guide 2023!

O

ur special edition Christmas Gift Guide has arrived as the festive season twinkles into view! Brimming with thoughtfully curated treasures, our guide is here to sprinkle some magic on your holiday planning. This year, we've taken inspiration from a unique approach to gift-giving that resonates deeply with me as an avid gift planner.

Gift-giving isn't just a seasonal ritual.

For me, it's a year-round labour of love. I keep an ever-growing list on my phone, noting ideas for each loved one throughout the year, ensuring that when December rolls around, I'm armed with a trove of personalised, thoughtful gift ideas. This meticulous approach means each present under the Christmas tree is more than just an item; it's a testament to the time and care invested

in understanding my friends and family's likes, needs, and dreams.

In this guide, you'll find various gifts, from the latest tech gadgets and luxurious skincare products to unique collaborations. A gift, big or small, should speak volumes about the bond you share with the recipient. Therefore, our selections cater to various interests, preferences, and a wide price range.

Whether you're a meticulous planner like me or seeking inspiration for that perfect gift, we hope this guide helps you find something that delights and surprises your loved ones. After all, the true spirit of Christmas lies in the joy we find in bringing happiness to others.

So, dive into these pages, where magic and thoughtfulness intertwine, and let's make this holiday season one to remember with gifts that truly matter.

Summer Must-Have Summer calls for adventures and enjoying the best that Mother Nature has to offer.

But when it comes to cleaning up or rinsing off after a beach day, camping trip or outdoor activity, it can put a dampener on the day. Sandy kids, grubby gear or muddy pets don’t mix well with car upholstery or carpets, and nobody wants to put up with salty skin or dirty feet for the trip home!

ortunately, a small mum-and-dad brand from the east coast of Australia has made staying clean during outdoor adventures more effortless than ever. Beach Soul is a passion project and nationwide success story that sells a selection of portable 5 and 8 litre Beach Showers, that are not only affordable, but durable and easy to use that even the kids can get in on the action.

Founded by Australian-Portuguese couple Bec and Luis Gil, who themselves are proud parents of three children, Beach Soul was born from a desire to make beach days with the family a stress-free endeavour - no more sand being tracked through the car, no more salty skin rubbing against clothes post-swim and no more being restricted to only visiting beaches with showers.

Beach Soul Beach Showers have legitimately changed the game when it comes to enjoying the outdoors, and everyone from campers seeking an easier way to wash dishes, anglers who want to clean their catch and surfers needing a fast way to rinse off after a session are singing their praises.

Of course, it's been a long journey to reach this level of

The Original 8L is a fan favourite due to its no-frills design, minimalist aesthetic and competitive price point. Throw it in your car and set course for the beach or stow it away for your trip around Oz. With the Original 8L in your kit, outdoor adventures become a little bit easier and a whole lot more enjoyable.

With the same funky kaleidoscope of Aussie motifs, this beachy spaghetti graffiti masterpiece boasts a greater water carrying capacity and even more space for epic artwork. So grab your Livin’ the Dream beach shower and let the Aussie icons that adorn its cover inspire you!

Get a Beach Shower and show your support for local indigenous artists with the Jamigam 5L. Translated to “salty water” in the Bandjalangic language, the Jamigam is more than just a compact and robust Beach Shower. Easy to carry and easy on the eye (and wallet), the Jamigam is a constant crowd-pleaser.

beach souler bag 'n' mat Beach Soul

An essential companion for any outdoor lover, this 100% waterproof carry bag and changing/rinsing mat combo make washing off post-adventure even easier. With a 50 L capacity, the easy-carry bag fits our Beach Showers and all your wet clothing or gear comfortably, so your vehicle stays dry, spotless and sand-free.

As for the non-slip mat, it makes removing stubborn dirt, dust and sand particles simple.No more getting into the car only to realise your feet are still grubby! Use them how and when you want, and give our bag and mat a new home in your boot today. $125.00

popularity, and according to Bec and Luis, it all started with what they fondly call their "Franken-shower" - a DIY portable shower they built using an assortment of bits and pieces from a local hardware store.

After countless hours of trial and error and plenty of time spent sourcing the right materials and vetting manufacturers, the hard work has paid off and the results now speak for themselves.

Every Beach Shower is made from BPA-free plastic and built using ergonomic design principles for ease of use, easy carrying and convenient storage.

They also come with 10 different showerhead modes and an insulated neoprene cover with a unique design created by local Australian artists that acts like a tea cosy when the shower is filled with warm water (a lifesaver for anyone enduring chilly water temps or cold weather). Just top up the shower, give it a few pumps and pull the trigger for up to 6+ minutes of continuous water flow that delivers enough pressure to wash dirt and detritus from just about any person or object - no batteries or power source required.

As for their philosophy, Bec and Luis are conscious of the fact that Beach Soul exists thanks to nature lovers and adventurous families who share their adoration for the outdoors. As such, there's a heavy emphasis on giving back, with Beach Soul donating to various local and national organisations like Surfing The Spectrum and the Perth Children's Hospital Foundation, as well as planting one tree for every product purchase and running myriad special promos and discount sales.

Clearly, the success of Beach Soul is a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, as well as an inspiring example of how small businesses can make a big impact. Bec and Luis' story serves as proof that anyone can turn their passion into something tangible with enough determination and creativity - no matter the industry.

With their commitment to sustainability, dedication to creating the best products possible and a desire to give back to the community, it's easy to see why this mum-and-dad brand has become one of the leading names for portable showers amongst outdoor adventurers around the world.

From Switzerland to the World How a humble slipper (and some Kiwi wool) became the journey of a lifetime Many people dream of living and working in different countries and raising their children of be people of the world yet realizing that dream seems beyond the imagination of most. But one family currently living in Wellington is achieving just that, and all because of a cute, felted slipper made from New Zealand wool.

D

an and Galina, and children Lara and Alice are in the midst of a global journey that has been enabled by invention, vision and opportunity… and New Zealand wool.

The story begins when Management Consultant, Romanian-born German Dan, was working in Indonesia with Swiss wife Galina and two small children when they hit on an idea to make slippers.

They wanted to have a business that would allow them to travel. To take their young daughters to other countries – not to visit – but to live, witnessing the culture, making friends and learning languages around the world. But, essentially, the business had to be ethical and sustainable to its very core.

So, after a youtube tutorial and a very messy kitchen, the first pair of Baabuk slippers were born, made in the traditional European method.

“We have never done shoes,” says Dan. “We bought wool and made them in the kitchen. It took us three months to make eight pairs of slippers - eight hours each slipper. And by doing it by ourselves for ourselves, we learned what needed to be done with this product,” he says.

Samples made, they booked a trade fair stand at a huge German Trade Fair. Dan caught the plane from Jakarta with high hopes, but on arrival, quickly discovered how much he didn’t know about the shoe business!

34 Christmas Gift Guide

“I had the slippers, but I had actually no idea which price to sell for,” Dan says. “A guy popped into the show and said, "Oh nice product. How much is your selling price?" I replied, "No idea, but can you help me to make one?"

“I had a fridge full of bottles of champagne - we opened the first bottle at 10 o'clock in the morning and he spent three hours explaining how to correctly create my price.

“Then another guy came on the stand and said, "Are you looking for a retailer, distributor, or agent?"

I said, "What's an agent, what's a distributor?"

Another bottle of champagne or two and Dan had his answers. And one week later the couple received their first order - a Dutch retailer wanting 700 pairs of the Baabuk slippers delivered in six-months-time.

“700 pairs in six months! I did the calculation. If it takes you four hours a pair - eight hours a day - it'll take two years and one day to make them all on our kitchen table!” says Dan. “So basically, we had to find a way to make the shoes. And that's how we started the company.

Now, celebrating a decade of

shoemaking, Dan and Galina’s business Baabuk has retailers and distributors throughout the world. Their product range includes sneakers as well as their original felted slippers. And they’ve built their own factory in Nepal employing 30 local people to make them.

Ethics and sustainability are absolutely central to the family’s business approach.

Baabuk is B-Corp certified, meaning they meet rigorous social and environmental impact standards and how they treat their employees and communities.

For example, wool in the slippers needs to be from New Zealand, because of the superior treatment of the animals over most other countries.

And the Nepalese factory operates in the same way, to a plan designed by Dan, with fair pay and conditions including health insurance, pension fund.

For now, the Witting family, Dan and Galina, Lara and Alice are based in Mt Victoria in Wellington, with the children going to a nearby school and soaking up the local culture.

While Dan does much of the talking, Galina is clearly a powerhouse at managing both business, home and family. Next step for the family is to return to Switzerland. It

mel - bottle green, mykonos, tangerine & dark grey, navy blue Baabuk

We wanted to make slippers that weren't just comfortable for people to wear, but that we were also comfortable putting out into the world. That meant trying our hardest to make them in the most responsible way possible.

This starts with the wool - a long-lasting and renewable resource. Then we hand-make these products using the traditional art form of wool felting; a technique considered by many to be the oldest textile in the world that uses only water and soap. Since every one of our skilled artisans has their own process, each slipper they create has a unique look and feel. Every pair is finished with natural latex soles and glue sustainably harvested from rubber trees to make these shoes eco-friendly from top to bottom. $146.00

was Galina’s dream that the children got to live and learn in other countries while they were young.

“We used to live in many different countries. Our two girls were turning 10 and 13, not yet adults. So, we wanted to show them the world, not just to learn about life from the books at the school, but also to experience things, with their own mind and body and everything.

“We looked at New Zealand's educational system and how I think you are ahead of many countries in education. It's not only writing and reading and counting, it's also experiencing things, and sharing, and collaborate together. I knew that there was something more happening here, so we

wanted for them to experience this. This is why we came to live in New Zealand,” Galina says.

Dan and Galina’s story is infectious and every time it is told the couple gain a new partner and collaborator. While living in Mt Vic they met a local distributor and retailers wanting to stock Baabuk, and to their surprise, they’ve also met local wool producers wanting some of Dan and Galina’s vision and international connections to help their own brands.

And those chance meetings are central to the Baabuk business.

“The way we make business is actually just meeting people,” says Dan. “It's like literally when you're dating

somebody. It's who you meet with, who you have a coffee with, where you can create affinities.

“That’s part of what started this world tour - to be in places where we can go and meet people without any grand plan.

“So, we didn't come here with the idea that ‘I have to do your business’ - we wanted to live here and to meet the people.

And I think this is the most beautiful way - there's no pressure, there's no obligation, there's no need, there's just ... fun! It's the pleasure.

“And when you're having the pleasure in the morning to wake up, then you don't work, actually. And that's how we want to work and that's how we want to live.”

Dua Lipa and the Puma Palermo Living the Sweet Life This festive season, PUMA reinvigorates the beloved Palermo sneaker, intertwining classic style with modern panache in their latest campaign. In a historic Italian villa, the new campaign features global sensation Dua Lipa, showcasing the time-honoured Palermo as the centrepiece.

T

he PUMA Palermo, an ode to the Sicilian capital, is steeped in football culture. Originally part of PUMA’s tribute to Europe’s major capitals, the Palermo became a terrace favourite in the football stadiums of the 1980s. Its iconic design, featuring a gum sole, nylon mesh upper, suede overlays, and signature gold-lettered tag, continues to evoke a sense of nostalgia.

Today, it's treated to a suite of new colourways including Fresh Mint-Fast Pink, Cobalt Glaze-PUMA White, and Special Pink Delight-PUMA GreenGum, among others.

Captured by the lens of Francesco Nazardo, the campaign is a fusion of playful and candid imagery. The Palermo sneaker emerges in bubbly and bright new colours, complementing the contemporary aesthetics of today's fashion.

Dua Lipa, embodying the spirit of the Palermo, adorns these iconic low-tops,

accented with a signature tag and the classic gum outsole. The sneaker's T-toe construction adds a retro touch, perfectly aligning with the campaign's chic, terraceinspired aesthetic. Complementing oversized sportswear, jeans, and teamcoloured tricots, Dua Lipa's style encapsulates an effortless blend of traditional charm and contemporary flair.

"The Italian villa was a dreamy setting to showcase the Palermo, a sneaker that stands the test of time. The new hues are incredibly versatile, promising endless styling possibilities. I'm excited to see how my fans will make these their own," Dua Lipa commented.

Echoing the spirit of 1980s football terraces, the Palermo has evolved from its origins as a part of PUMA's homage to Europe's iconic capitals. Its distinct DNA still sparks a nostalgic connection to football's golden era.

For 2023, PUMA revitalises this

classic with fresh, vibrant colourways. It maintains its signature T-toe design and the iconic gum sole, now accompanied by a gold-lettered PUMA tag and the emblematic cat logo on the heel.

Coinciding with the campaign's release, Dua Lipa dropped her new single 'Houdini', a follow-up to her hit from the Barbie movie, 'Dance the Night'. The music video, amassing over 24 million views in just three days, showcased Dua dancing in the Palermo PUMA BlackFeather Gray-Gum. Her outfit, a black mesh and navy track pants combo, subtly hints at Palermo’s football roots.

The PUMA Palermo, a perfect blend of heritage and fashion-forward design, is available now for NZD $160 at JD Sports or on nz.PUMA.com! This is one of our top picks for this year's gift guide.

Whether for a fashion enthusiast or a sneaker collector, the Palermo's allure is undeniable.

The Ultimate Choice for Dreamers and Achievers Born in Melbourne but embraced globally, MiGOALS is the undisputed gold standard for next level pen-to-paper planning. Rooted in the personal experiences of founder Adam Jelic, the 2024 range blends Adam’s signature goal setting method with sleek design and unmatched functionality.

W

ith an emphasis on daily action, accountability, and thoughtful planning, the collection is designed for those ready to put in the work to achieve their personal and professional dreams.

More than just a stationery brand, MiGOALS is defined by the ethos of tangible daily action for personal growth.

Each product in the range is intuitively and stylishly centred around breaking down big goals into small ones and chipping away at them, one day at a time.

With an eye on users’ long-term vision and short-term targets, MiGOALS primes each individual to stay motivated, disciplined, and, most importantly, accountable.

Says Adam, “Beyond its core function of organising and empowering users to do their best every day, the MiGOALS

collection also serves as a great tool for alleviating self-doubt, anxiety, and assisting in maintaining mental health.

“As someone who struggles with anxiety, the simple act of goal setting and performing small but meaningful daily tasks helps keep me grounded and on track. Everyone has dreams and goals, but the journey towards realising them can be difficult with a solid framework in place.

That’s why I’m so passionate about the range and the amazing results that have been achieved by those who have used it.”

Adam first encountered the art of goal setting as a 16-year-old aspiring soccer player but it wasn’t until much later that he discovered the missing component to actually advancing his goals.

Motivated by the profound statement, “out of sight, out of mind,” Adam

developed a prototype journal to consistently track his progress. This eventually evolved into MiGOALS. “The idea for the journal was born out of the need to see the steps I’m taking daily to gauge where I’m at and where I’m headed,” Adam recalled.

Chic and minimalist, the MiGOALS range is luxuriously crafted and a joy to incorporate into the daily routine. The 2024 collection comes in a range of gorgeous colours to inspire users to chase after their most coveted ambitions.

Adds Adam, “MiGOALS is designed to resonate with those seeking structure, discipline, and a tangible means to track their life’s progress. I’m so excited to introduce the range so that every individual can dream bigger and discover a life defined by purpose and passion.”

Just in time for summer: new technology directly adds fizz to a variety of different drinks in an instant – from refizzing flat soda to transforming everything from juice, wine and cocktails.

O

ctober, 2023: Global premium kitchen appliance brand, Breville, has launched the InFizz™ Fusion, its first sparkling beverage maker. The brand’s latest innovation can carbonate a variety of different beverages as well as water, opening up a whole new way for customers to enjoy and experiment with their drinks this summer.

The InFizz™ Fusion is set apart from its competitors by its pressure control system, the FusionCap™, which can directly carbonate flavoured beverages without the risk of overflow or having to add sparkling water to existing mixes. By enhancing natural base ingredients instead of adding processed flavour drops after carbonating, drinks retain their full flavour from start to serve. The InFizz™ Fusion enables you to sparkle a variety of different beverages, experiment with your favourite drinks, and put fizz back into flat liquids for enriched flavour.

Sabrina Smith, Global Category Manager at Breville, says: “We are thrilled to be launching the InFizz™ Fusion just in time for Australians to enjoy their favourite drinks throughout summer. This is a product that takes the sparkling beverage

trend to the next level.”

“The InFizz™ Fusion opens up a whole new way for our customers to experiment and enjoy their favourite drinks like they’ve never experienced before at home: from all-natural fizzy juice for the kids, to healthy sparkling iced teas, to entertaining with carbonated sangria and margaritas just to name a few.”

The InFizz™ Fusion features a fast and simple ‘twist and tilt’ action to engage and release the bottle, and a diecast lever to apply carbonation, making it an incredibly easy product to use. The bottle retains perfect carbonation until drinks are ready to serve - ideal for summer entertaining.

Otto Romer, Head of Cuisine, Chemistry and Experience R&D at Breville, comments: “Science can explain why carbonated drinks simply taste better.

When the bottle is opened, the carbon dioxide gas reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which has a taste that your tongue can actually detect - and one that accents the flavour of the beverage. At the same time, carbonation bubbles in the nose and mouth trigger other sensors in the brain, unlocking a more exciting, multisensory flavour experience.”

With a premium stainless-steel body and sleek design, the InFizz™ Fusion is available in three luxe colourways - Sea Salt, Black Truffle, and Brushed Stainless Steel - to match your other favourite Breville appliances and elevate any kitchen benchtop without taking up too much counter space.

A long-term cost saver, the InFizz™ Fusion has an RRP of $299.00 AUD, which includes a 1L bottle with stainless steel base and cap, double-sided cleaning brush, sieve, and funnel.

Breville will also release the InFizz™ Aqua alongside the InFizz™ Fusion™, which carbonates only water without the FusionCap™ feature, and has an RRP of $249.00 AUD including a 1L bottle and a one-sided cleaning brush.

Additional bottles can be bought separately for $39.95 (600ml, 2 pack) and $49.95 AUD (1L, 2 pack) at www.breville. com.au, and both the InFizz™ Fusion and the InFizz™ Aqua are compatible with standard 60L CO2 gas cylinders.

The InFizz™ Fusion and the InFizz™ Aqua will be available to purchase at www.breville.com.au, and participating retailers from 15 October 2023.
