Branducopia

Branducopia is a paper and digital publication that shares resources on business topics through the lens of branding and storytelling.

Their aim is to help business owners differentiate their branding, design, marketing, and communications, enabling them to build standout businesses they can be proud of. 

Think of Branducopia like the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, but for business.

This Christmas, you can share the gift of knowledge through a copy of the Branducopia digital publication (an excellent last minute gift!) or if you prefer, a beautiful printed copy.

PS: You can find additional Branducopia goodies and guest interviews over on their YouTube and Podcast channels.

Jasmine Skye Photography 

Fine art underwater photographic prints and coffee table book.

Local photographer Jasmine Skye has curated a stunning collection of artfully captured underwater portraits in her debut book, Underneath.

Each photo is accompanied by a story of vulnerability that is just as impactful as Jasmine’s incredible photography skill.

I personally have a copy of this book and it not only is beautifully made, but it makes for an interesting and insightful read.

It’s the perfect piece to feature on your coffee table or bookshelf that guests (and you!) will enjoy flicking through. Underneath is a thoughtful gift for all the women in your life – including you.

I think good books make a timeless present and if you love art, storytelling, and supporting local creatives, then you’ll especially love Underneath.

Laser Artistry

Laser cut and engraved keepsakes

Karina from Laser Artistry specialises in personalised laser-cut products, which are normally something you would need to plan and order well in advance.

But the beauty of shopping locally is that you can still secure a customised gift at the last minute – making it look like you’ve had your sh*t together all along!

Through the magic of laser cutting, customise your product of choice from the range in the Laser Artistry store.  

Choose from products like name tags, keyrings, gift tags and stamps to customise with a name or personal message. And voila! No one will ever know it was a last-minute Christmas gift.

I also am a big fan of the spicy corner featuring a rainbow of Spicy Dino’s for something a little bit naughty that’s guaranteed to bring a smile to your giftee’s face!

Lime and Mortar, owned by fellow FIFO-wife Leanne, is a well-loved Perth stationery brand celebrating ten years this December. With thoughtfully designed planners, journals, and more, it’s easy to find a gift that’s both practical and charming.

The brainchild of former chef and owner Jamielee, Mini Plus Me kid-friendly bakeware makes the perfect gift to inspire little chefs everywhere!

Gifting a child Mini Plus Me bakeware is more than just a thoughtful present—it’s an invitation to create lasting memories together. With these kid-friendly baking tools, your mini food lover can learn valuable life skills like cooking while spending quality time with loved ones in the kitchen.

It’s a great gift idea that blends fun with learning, inspiring creativity and confidence as they mix, measure, and bake their own delicious treats.

The Mini Plus Me range features quality silicon and timber cookware designed for little hands to use with ease.

I especially love the one-of-a-kind Sprinkles muffin pan – a functional design that combines a flexible food grade silicone base with an integrated steel reinforcement around the top. This gives the tray structure and means little hands can easily transfer their creations to the oven – minus the spills (and tears!)

The Prospect Project

Socially conscious soy candles and custom perfume workshops

I couldn’t do a gift guide without including local faves The Prospect Project (TPP). Owner Shannon has built a cult-like following with her simple but superb soy candles and in-person workshops.

Hustling from her Osborne Park studio (where you may have joined me for an Honest Biz Brunch!) TPP’s signature product is the ‘This Candle Smells Like...’ series featuring iconic candle fragrances like Mermaid Tears and Unicorn Poo. 

Plus $2 from every candle sale goes to your choice of not-for-profit cause.  The Prospect Project tagline says it all – Burn Candles. Do Good.

The Tea Crowd

Small Batch Teas & Tisanes

The Tea Crowd creates organic loose leaf tea and tisanes hand blended from real ingredients with good vibes and great taste in mind!

Head blender, Jodie, started The Tea Crowd in 2017 to find alternatives to coffee, sweetened beverages and alcohol after being diagnosed with endometriosis and IBS. 

Disheartened to discover that many commercial tea brands exacerbated her symptoms with their additives and poor ingredients, Jodie headed into the kitchen and after some fun mixing and making, developed a range of teas she could drink all day long that tasted good as well as having a dedication to wellness. 

The Tea Crowd is proud to produce quality, small batch teas with no hidden additives or flavourings – only the good stuff – right here in Perth, WA. 

The range includes gold and silver award-winning blends recognised by The Golden Leaf Awards and She-com Product Awards.

Or you can create your own custom tea sets from the cute accessories like mugs, coasters and diffuser cups available in the online store. Even better – give the gift of choice with The Tea Crowd gift cards – the perfect last-minute gift idea!

Last-minute shopping doesn’t mean settling for so-so gifts!

So, if time is running short, Perth’s small businesses might just be the perfect solution for easy and thoughtful, last-minute gifts!

With great ideas like express delivery and unique, home-delivered presents, they make it effortless to surprise loved ones, whether it’s a happy birthday or a Christmas celebration. Many even offer gift delivery services that can include extras like beautiful wrapping paper, making each gift a whole experience from the moment it arrives. 

Supporting local businesses not only saves you time but brings joy and creativity to every occasion—a win-win for gift-givers and small business owners alike!
