There’s nothing I love more than when someone walks into the shop and says, “Oh! This is exactly what I was hoping to find.”
This week, Joshua and I have been working on recategorising the website. It is something that always needs attention. Products come and go, and we need to keep things fresh so that the shop always feels surprising and joyful to browse. It is a lot of work. Some days, it is genuinely exhausting.
But at the heart of it is this: I spend so much time thinking about you. Who is going to pick that card? Who is going to unwrap that baby toy or sip the tea they were gifted and feel that tiny spark of being known and loved?
Our shop is full of creative, beautifully designed, and meaningful things. We try to stock as many locally made products as possible because we know that supporting Melbourne makers means supporting community, connection, and culture.
We wrap everything with care. I love wrapping. It is the moment where a beautiful thing becomes a beautiful gift. The next thing that happens is magic. Someone unwraps the bow and discovers a treat chosen just for them.
New baby presents are especially close to my heart. It is never lost on me that what we are wrapping might be one of the very first gifts a baby ever receives. That is why we offer beautiful gifts at a range of price points. We want everyone to feel like they can find something meaningful here, whatever their budget.
It is such a joy to be the person who helps people mark life’s big and small moments. Birthdays, anniversaries, new homes, baby showers, or my favourite: the just because gift.
I still remember one of the most meaningful gifts Joshua ever gave me. It was not expensive or extravagant. It was a bag of coffee beans, a handwritten note, and everything set up so I could make a cup the moment I got home. It meant everything.
That is what we hope our shop helps you do. Find something small but perfect. A clever, creative, thoughtful gift.
Come visit us in Caulfield North or browse online. We have always got something special waiting for you.
