Aussie Women’s Christmas Gifts
The females in my family pretty much outweigh the males 2:1. And frankly, that has made gift shopping so much easier. I know some people will disagree, but for us girls there’s always the standard perfume, jewellery, something green – plants or flowers—or clothes to fall back on.
Although the guys are an outdoorsy bunch, I still find the girls easier to buy for.
So, here is the inaugural Great Australian Blog Aussie Christmas Gift Shop list for women. We’ve done the hard work. We’ve walked the streets of the internet to bring you a variety of Australian owned shops. Not all the items are made in Australia, but many are. We have chosen one business, Songbird, which supports women’s manufacturing in Thailand – and we’re happy to do that.
We’re happy to support small business, make shopping easier for you, and allow everyone to have a very Merry Christmas.
Our 20 Best Christmas Gift Shops For Aussie Women
Vine Apparel
Vine Apparel is about making it easy. Effortless. Taking the thinking out of getting dressed. The clothes are reliable, in that you will always have something to wear, and that something will look good every single time you put it on. You know how something can look good one day but the next day you have no idea how on earth you wore it the day before? That doesn’t happen with Vine Apparel stuff.
They want choosing what to wear to be one less thing you need to think about.
You can rely on it. You don’t need to be skinny. Or tall. You can be you, and you can look beautiful, and you can feel beautiful, regardless of what’s going on in your world.
And Vine Apparel is always affordable. Always. You can treat yourself and still pay your bills. Buy your kids (and yourself of course) an ice cream at the beach. You can still do life.
