The unexpected gift dilemma
It happens every year. You’ve wrapped everything, ticked everyone off your list, and then it happens — someone gives you a gift you weren’t expecting. Or a neighbour drops in with homemade shortbread. Or you suddenly remember the 'Secret Santa' at work.
Cue the scramble: what can you find, will it look rushed, and how fast can you make it look thoughtful?
So, what's our secret to avoid this? It's simple! The stress disappears when you’ve got one or two ready-to-wrap gifts tucked away. They’re simple, elevated everyday essentials that don’t need fussing — just add your favourite paper (or let us wrap it in our signature black-and-white style) and you’re sorted.
Here are a few of our favourites to have on hand - and the best part? If you don't give them away you can gift them to yourself!! Have us gift wrap them, pop them under your tree, and if they are still there January 1 - they are a gift to you!
Puzzles that spark calm
Reverie puzzles aren’t just fun — they’re art you can play with. Whether it’s the magical Christmas Market edition that forms a larger scene when both are complete, or another artist-designed piece, they make for a gift that’s beautiful, calming, and easy to wrap. Take a look in our Unplug & Play collection and choose your favourite!
Water bottles that feel personal
A Beysis water bottle is sleek, practical, and a little bit special. It’s the kind of everyday essential people actually want to use — whether they’re at the gym, work, or heading off on summer holidays.
Eye masks that say “I thought of you”
Soleiz warming eye masks are small enough to slip into a drawer but thoughtful enough to feel like a treat. They soothe, relax, and come in scented or unscented options — perfect for anyone who could use a little calm at the end of a busy year.
Paint sets and puzzles for creativity
Paint like Frida mini sets are compact, creative, and fun — ideal for the friend who’s always looking for a mindful moment. They’re gifts that feel personal, not panicked. You can see our range in our Unplug & Play collection.
A bag that does it all!
Our clear cosmetic bag is the ultimate multi-tasker: makeup case, first aid kit, travel pouch, or handbag organiser. It comes boxed and ready-to-wrap, so it looks polished even if you’ve pulled it straight from your secret stash.
Add in some stress-free wrapping that gives back
Of course, we can do the wrapping for you, too. Add our signature black-and-white wrap and we’ll take care of it — with every dollar donated to Wildlife Warriors, the Australia Zoo charity. Beautiful presentation, zero stress, and gifting that does good.
Your elevated gifting safety net
Life is full of surprises, but your gifting doesn’t have to be. With one or two ready-to-wrap essentials on hand, you can say goodbye to the last-minute scramble — and hello to gifts that feel thoughtful, elevated, and genuinely useful.
