Shop Local This Christmas
Hawkesbury Small Business Gift Guide
Working and living in the Hawkesbury, I’m constantly amazed and inspired by the ladies I meet and the work I get to hear about. With Christmas fast approaching, I have put together some Christmas gift ideas that are all from our beautiful Hawkesbury area. We are blessed to have so many talented creators with a great variety of amazing products right here in Western Sydney. If you’re like me and love finding unique Christmas gift ideas that match the people in your life, and also love supporting local creators and small businesses by always trying to shop local, check out these eight places to shop for the men or women in your life this Christmas (and sending them some hints for yourself doesn’t hurt either!)
Boho Lane Collective
Boho Lane Collective is a boutique shop in Richmond NSW with a beautiful and unique offering of clothes, accessories, scents and much more. Wheather you shop online or pop in their gorgeous store, you’re bound to find something for your mum, sister or any of the women in your life, as well as a few things to add to your own wishlist!
Designs by Sasha
Sasha has recently opened her gift shop in Grose Vale NSW, and it’s chock-full of handmade beauties. If you’re looking for gifts and home decor that are unique, there’s so much to see (and feel) instore, from bespoke Christmas decorations all the way to custom orders. Check out her beautiful range on Instagram and drop her a follow at Designs by Sasha to keep up to date with her amazing creations.
Ball Balm
Looking for a gift for the men in your life and not sure where to start? Check out Ball Balm, a Hawkesbury based all-Australian all-natural balm that you can easily order online and have delivered to your door. They have Boob Balm for the ladies too! These balms are great as a stocking stuffer, for someone tricky to buy for, or as a naughty santa/white elephant gift exchange!
Blue Bells Beauty
Know someone who could use a pamper? Blue Bells Beauty have online bookings and beautiful products available at their Richmond salon. With the end of year being a stressful or busy time for many of us, why not gift some self care and relaxation this festive season (or indulge in some yourself!)
Crate Day
Make this Christmas great with a crate! These crates make the ultimate man gift for hubby, dad, pop or even your son. Check out the range on their website and share the joy on Christmas day as they pry open their crate with a crow bar!
Kurrajong Kitchen
Whether you’re hosting a Christmas function or putting together a delicious hamper for a family member, teacher or colleague, Hawkesbury based family business Kurrajong Kitchen have a delectable range of lavosh crackers available at Coles and Woolworths that pair well with all your favourite picnic cheeses, fruits and deli meats. A perfect, easy and tasty gift for anyone this festive season.
CSTC Myotherapy
CSTC Myotherapy is a clinic in Hobartville that offers services as well as gift vouchers, Archies thongs, a range of creams and other products to help you or a loved one put health first. Taking care of ourselves isn’t always easy and finding the right person or products to help could be an amazing gift for a loved one.
Dido’s Place
If you’re looking for a bit more of an experience to gift this Christmas, check out Dido’s place. It’s an exclusive private holiday house in East Kurrajong, perfectly suited for for a Hawkesbury staycation or for family coming to visit. It has everything a family could need for a holiday both inside and out, and is the ultimate setting for a fun and adventurous family experience.
I’m always in awe of what people come up with and create. I love to see the unique ideas and approaches to business and even more I love seeing it come out of our beautiful Hawkesbury area. I hope these ‘shop local’ Christmas gift ideas in the Hawkesbury have helped. If there’s any other local places you love to shop at I’d love to hear about them too!
This Christmas, support small business as we shop local in the Hawkesbury, and give meaningful gifts with made with love.
Enjoy the season!
