You know what will kill your Christmas spirit faster than The Grinch? Getting a notice from your bank that your credit card is overdrawn. Cramming all your gift-buying into the last few weeks of December isn’t just a recipe for a mental breakdown, it can also lead to overspending as you buy the most convenient pressies at the most expensive prices.

The answer is to start for shopping for your Christmas gifts now. Yep, we said now. (And yep, we know it’s only September and mince pies aren’t even on the supermarket shelves yet.) But starting to stockpile a Chrissy gift haul early actually makes a whole lot of sense. Here’s why:

 

You can spread the cost out over three months.

Instead of putting all the pressure on your December pay packet to cover your Christmas expenses (with all that festive season socialising, it’s probably already shaping up to be the most expensive month of the year), start to shop for gifts as early as October. This means you can take a smaller chunk of cash from each monthly deposit and you’re less likely to wake up with a nasty credit card hangover on Boxing Day.

 

You don’t have to settle for a ho-hum present.

Fact: When you leave gifts to the last minute, bad things happen. You make hasty decisions, your judgement becomes be impaired by stress and panic, and you start thinking, ‘Yeah, I reckon Mum will totally like a hot pink, diamante-studded laundry basket.’ But when you have time up your sleeve, you can mull things over, you can listen for subtle hints and you can totally ace every gift on your list.

 

You’ll probably end up spending less.

One perk of having time on your side is you can jump on any sales and you won’t have to pay last-minute express delivery fees. Lots of hardtofind sellers offer fast courier but it’s a bit more exy than their regular free shipping option – so getting in early will save you precious dollars. Dollars that you can then spend on yourself!

 

How to ace the Christmas gift stockpile.

1. Make a list of everyone you need to buy for. Check it twice.

2. Decide how much you can afford to spend on each person and make a budget. (It’s a good idea to keep a little buffer in your budget for unexpected additions!)

3. You might want to also tally up your other Christmas costs, like that giant turkey, your party season outfits and the office Kris Kringle, and add them to your budget.

4. Divide your budget in thirds so you know how much to put aside each month. Then you’re ready to start shopping!

As the temps start to drop and hibernation season closes in, it’s time to start prepping for the cool change. So how do you make it through the big chill? With the help of these autumn survival kit essentials…

 

1. Baking dish

If summer is for salads, then winter is for carbs. Think potato, think pasta, think endless loaves of sourdough toast. Preheat your oven and get cooking your heartiest recipe – that winter bod isn’t going to happen on its own…

 

2.  Woollen fedora

You know what comes with the autumn/winter cool? Wind. (Otherwise known as ‘your hair’s worst enemy’.) Do yourself a favour and invest in a sweet woollen fedora that’ll keep your noggin’ warm, while keeping your tresses under control.

 

3. Bath caddy

For those nights when your only plan is to cancel your plans (seriously, who wants to go out when it’s < 16 degrees?)…. embrace the JOMO jump in the tub. Enter: this clever bath caddy, which will hold your wine while you soak.

 

4. Decanter and glass set

New season, new spirit! (Sorry to love you and leave you this way, Aperol Spritz…) Whether it’s whisky or red wine, pouring your winter drink into a decanter makes it extra fancy – and it tastes better, too. Gotta let that bevvie breathe.

 

5. Hydrating face cream

As the Starks would say, ‘Winter is coming’ – and your skin needs to prepare for the harsh winds, freezing temps and super-drying heated air-con. Give it a hope it in hell of staying dewy by slathering on a natural hydrating face cream.

 

6. Moody scented candle

Nothing says ‘autumn is here’ like a rich scented candle, flickering away on the coffee table, while you watch 10 hours of Netflix straight. Just shelve the summery scents – you don’t need a seaside smell taunting you till August.

 

7. Stripe sheet set

The days are getting shorter, which means more time you-know-where. (BED. MORE TIME IN BED.) Cosy up with some fresh cotton sheets and not even that annoying snooze alarm every nine minutes will be able to rouse you.

 

8. Super-cosy scarf

Unexpected chills can you hit you at any time: A freezing cold movie theatre. An overly-air-conned office. Arm yourself with an incredibly wool blend scarf that’s big enough to double as an emergency wrap.

 

PS. Six accessories for any season and try our go-to cocktail recipes

Mother’s Day comes but once a year. (The second Sunday in May, so put that date in your dairy and underline it six times with a red pen.) But mums? They’re working like superheroes the whole year round – dishing out life advice, pushing broccoli on their unwilling offspring, and making sure no one in the family goes outside without a jacket. Yep, she deserves a really really good gift. Whether it’s a luxe leather jewellery case, embossed with her initials, a heart-shaped collage of her favourite happy snaps or a bespoke cake tin to store her famous apple pie (hint hint, Mum!), we’ve got Mother’s Day gift ideas that’ll make her day – just like she’s made yours. All 365 of them.

You’ve heard Mum say that ‘it’s the thought that counts’ (along with her other faves, ‘Because I said so’ and ‘I’m not a taxi service, you know’…) and when it comes to the best gifts for mum, it should come as no surprise that Mama Dearest is absolutely right. Thoughtfulness is everything. Think about that hand-painted pasta necklace you made her in preschool that she actually wore. For several months. If you’re older than six, you might want to raise the bar from DIY dried-food accessories, but you can still create a present that’s unique and personal – you just need a little help from a secret weapon we like to call ‘personalised pressies’.

Our collection of personalised Mother’s Day gift ideas is chock-full of customisable accessories, homewares and gifts that she’s bound to treasure for years to come. (They’ll definitely be joining the pasta necklace in the gifting hall of fame.) With everything from a dainty bracelet to a leather wash bag, cotton PJs or a custom print, it’s quick and easy to make these pieces your own by adding a bespoke name, date or special message. Simply enter your chosen details into the personalisation fields as you order and it’s kind of like you made it yourself, with no craft skills required.

Need a little extra help coming up with the perfect gift ideas for Mum? Try searching for gifts based on your mama’s personality. Maybe she’s a keen baker who can make miracles with flour, sugar, butter and a wooden spoon? Maybe she loves to jet-set and always has an eye on her next destination? Or maybe she’s more interested in the fashion runway than the airport one. Whatever your mum’s style, we’ve rounded up a selection of our favourite gifts for mum Australia below, so you can treat your wondermum to something truly wonderful!

 

The baking mum

She’s like Nigella in the kitchen – cooking up feasts fit for a family of 50 (never mind that there’s only a few of you). As her sous chef, she’ll happily teach you how to poach the perfect egg, roast the perfect whole chook, and bake her signature lemon tea cake. Ask her for the secret ingredient, and she’ll tell you it’s a ‘sprinkle of love’…

1. Personalised Mum Cooking Apron 2. Retro Baking Label Collection 3. Personalised ‘Baked With Love’ Pyrex Dish 4. Personalised ‘Queen of Cakes’ Round Baking Board

 

The stylish mum

She’s not a regular mum, she’s a cool mum. She’s read the latest issue of Vogue from cover to cover and her credit card statement reads like a list of stores on the high street. Oh, and don’t worry, we won’t tell her that you ‘borrowed’ her favourite linen shirt last season…

1. Monstera Clutch Bag 2. Palermo Summer Boater Hat 3. Personalised Monogram Cut Glass Tumbler 4. Coco Chanel Perfume Bottle Print

 

The homebody mum

She’s happiest when she’s at home in her cosy knitted socks, with the sweet scent of a calming candle filing the air. Her living space is her happy place, so she wants to fill it with beautiful pieces that spark joy (yep, you bet she watched that Marie Kondo series on Netflix!).

1. Crosley Soho Turntable Stand 2. Personalised Name Wine Glass 3. Peony Soy Candle 4. ‘Home Sweet Home’ Steel Sign

 

The green thumb mum

She’s always pottering around in the garden with a wide-brim sun hat and a pair of gloves. She can tell instantly why that hydrangea is wilting and will happily take it in for a little rehab under her supervision. She’s your on-call plant helpline – and, thanks to her green thumb wisdom, you’ll never confuse a weed for a flower.

1. Even Steven Large Original Pot 2. Ladies’ Gardening Glove 3. Personalised Luxe Copper Fork and Towel 4. Pot Plants Notebook

 

The travelling mum

Now you see her, now she’s in Tokyo. She loves being up in the air, whether she’s jetting out of town on business, taking the family on a trip interstate or escaping with the girls to sip mai tais Hawaii. Her passport is her prize possession – and it’s got more stamps than your primary school stamp collection.

1. Personalised Adventure Awaits Luggage Tag 2. Maya Dress in Midnight 3. New York Minimalist Map Print 4. Jet Travel Pouch

 

The super sentimental mum

She’s got photos of the family on every wall and she’d probably tear up if one of her kids gave her a recycled toilet roll. She’s all about gifts that are meaningful, personal and come straight from the heart – think engraved jewellery, a custom family print or a key ring with her child’s illustration. It’s all going straight to the pool room.

1. Personalised Family Illustration Print 2. Personalised Family Names Russian Ring Necklace 3. Personalised Colour-in Family Portrait 4. Personalised Family Tree Cotton Cushion

 

PS. Meet the new status candle and you can’t go wrong with something from this list for Mum

Hardtofind is Australia’s leading online curated marketplace for gifts, fashion and homewares.

The tailored blazer. The white shirt. The skinny jeans. They’re your wardrobe classics – high-rotation pieces that will survive through the seasons. But what about those little finishing touches? While a fun slogan tote or a colourful beaded necklace can be an easy (and affordable!) way to embrace what’s trending, creating an accessories wardrobe that’s truly versatile starts with a solid foundation of classic pieces. Meet your six essential building blocks…

 

1. The subtle hoop

Sleek, simple and with the ability to transition seamlessly from day to night, the hoop is your jewellery box’s unsung hero. The trick to finding the perfect pair? Opt for something small or midsize (aka less Jenny From The Block circa 2002) in solid gold, rose gold or silver.

 

2. The black leather handbag

The tale of the ideal bag reads just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears – not too big, not too small, but just the right size to fit all your essentials (think: phone, wallet, lipstick and emergency snacks). Pick a style in classic black leather and it’ll work back with any outfit.

 

3. The nautical boater hat

Shield your face from the summer rays (whether you’re at the seaside or in the city) with a boater hat. It’s a style that looks luxe and flatters most face shapes – and it’ll certainly score you some bonus points if you find yourself yachting through the harbour…

 

4. The tortoiseshell shades

A single pair of sunnies to get you through the seasons? Tortoiseshell shades reporting for duty! Timeless yet with a contemporary feel, the brown patterned frames will accompany any outfit (and complement any skin tone). They’re a better investment than stocks.

 

5. The sophisticated watch

You know what’s great? Being able to catch the time, without having to dig through your bag for your smartphone. And nothing beats the beauty and simplicity of an analogue watch face – even if it can’t also text your mate back about dinner…

 

6. The checked linen scarf

Whether you’re covering up from the sun or dealing with an unexpected chill, a lightweight linen scarf is an accessory that’ll work hard for you – and look good doing it. For ultimate versatility, embrace a monochrome palette and pared-back prints.

 

PS. Meet the new status candle and our latest swimwear crush

Hardtofind is Australia’s leading online curated marketplace for gifts, fashion and homewares.

When New York magazine’s The Cut recently pondered ‘What’s the next Status Candle?‘ – a slick pink package was at the top of their list. Made in LA but distributed here in Oz by hardtofind seller The Candle Library, Boy Smells is ready to replace the old guard of status candles (think the flowery perfume of Diptyque and the classic luxury of Cire Trudon) with its more earthy scents and iconic millennial pink packaging.

‘Conceived beyond the gender binary’, Boy Smells began in 2016 as an experiment in candle-making in the kitchen of co-founders and real-life partners Matthew Herman and David Kien. With a goal to ‘burn up expectations’, the duo created unexpected scents like Cinderose (a blend of rose, oakmoss and smoke), Kush (green and bright with a hint of cannabis flower) and St Al (where sandalwood meets exotic florals and frankincense).

Their fresh spin on traditionally masculine fragrances is one thing, but it’s Boy Smells instantly recognisable branding that has made them so covetable. Every candle is developed and mixed in the founders’ home in Los Angeles with fragrance and natural oils, all-natural coconut wax and beeswax. They’re hand-poured in a reusable glass vessel, hand-labeled and beautifully presented in their signature sleek pink and black packaging – ready for a permanent position on your bedside table.

PS. More unexpected pressie ideas and these Christmas decorations double as gifts

Hardtofind is Australia’s leading online curated marketplace for gifts, fashion and homewares.

It’s that time of the year, when festive decorations go up in the office, people start getting excited about Christmas break and you’re thinking about a way to thank your colleagues and clients for their ongoing support. Striking the right balance when it comes to corporate gifts can be tough – how do you find a professional gift that’s also memorable (and preferably won’t end up in the bottom of a desk drawer)? Here are a few things you should consider when deciding on your corporate gifts…

 

Who are you buying for?

It sounds simple, but this question can be tricky to answer – especially if you have a diverse range of clients or team members in your business. Make a list of all the people you want to thank and think carefully about the kind of gift they’d like to receive. Should it be something fun and celebratory, like a hamper or an engraved whisky glass; something functional, like a leather card holder or a ballpoint pen, or something more high-end, like a luxe laptop case? It’s also worth considering any cultural differences or company gifting policies.

 

What message should your gift send?

Corporate gifting is an opportunity to show your gratitude, but it’s also a chance to express your company’s values – so if there are things you are passionate about, find a way to work them into your gifting strategy. You don’t need to plaster your gift with overly-promotional branding to make your message visible. If your company takes an eco-conscious approach, a reusable coffee mug or stainless steel water bottle will align with those values. Similarly, if you run a workplace that’s focused on fun, a colourful speaker or novelty desk tidy will fit the vibe. Personalising gifts, whether it’s engraved glassware, embossed leather or a custom print, can also be a thoughtful way to make a memorable impression.

 

How will you go about delivery?

Delivering your corporate gifts in person can be a great way to keep you top-of-mind with clients – but if your gifting list is large, you might prefer to use a postal or courier service, in which case, you should consider the overall experience. Small details, from how the item is presented to the personalised note that accompanies it, can make all the difference. And if you are gifting perishables, make sure you place a call to the receiver on the day of delivery to ensure they’ll be there to accept it.

PS. Christmas decorations that double as gifts and get set for Christmas

Hardtofind is Australia’s leading online curated marketplace for gifts, fashion and homewares.

Ah, the silly season. A glorious time of year when you want to frock up and look a bit fancy, but you also want free reign on the canapés and cocktails. The trick is finding a dress that will let you do both – pretty enough to impress but floaty enough that it won’t judge you if you go back for seconds (or thirds). Looking for this season’s party-season staple? You can’t go wrong if you follow our golden rules to Christmas dressing…

 

Rule #1: No tight waistbands.

This is a fashion rule we’d campaign for year-round, but especially when Mum brings out her 12-hour turkey on Chrissy Day (after we’ve already scoffed down a dozen goat cheese tart starters). A restrictive waist band is only going to cramp your eating style and prevent you from saying ‘yes’ to a second serve. If you really must cinch in the waist for your hourglass silhouette, do it with a belt or a tie that you can loosen over lunch courses – because turning down Aunty Joan’s signature pav is just not the polite thing to do.

 

Rule #2: Keep it lightweight.

Christmas in Australia is no sweater-fest – unless you’re talking about the sweat that’s dripping down your neck while you’re scoffing prawns in the summer sun. So it pretty much goes without saying that your festive season style should be floaty, lightweight and cool as a cucumber. Our go-to? Cotton – it’s a great all-rounder for dry heat or humidity and the natural fibre allows air to circulate through like a wearable air-con. Team your loose-fitting cotton frock with a pair of strappy sandals and a festive red pedi and voilà!

 

Rule #3: Look for bold prints.

Want to distract from a food baby? Well, the humble pattern can be a master of disguise. Everyone will be too busy complimenting you on your bold choice of florals to be worried about whether that bump is a second bread roll or a second trimester bub. Prints are also a great way to fancy up a simple shift dress for those Christmas Day photos (just imagine your frock accessorised with all that beautiful jewellery Santa’s going to bring…).

 

Try these on for size…

PS. A few Christmas ideas for her and these decorations make great gifts

This year, hardtofind turns 10! And to celebrate we’re eating our weight in birthday cake and party pies. But we’re also taking a trip down memory lane and recapping some of our top products from the last 10 years. After a decade of supporting small, creative businesses, founder Eri has seen some pretty awesome things pass through hardtofind HQ – here are her top 10 favourite ever finds…

 

1. ‘My Dad’ Personalised Book for Fathers

“My youngest daughter asked me to buy this for my husband last year for Christmas. She wrapped it up all by herself and proudly gave it to him on Christmas day. He absolutely loved it, and it’s now the story my daughter chooses most nights to read before bed.”

 

2. Personalised Shooting Stars Ear Climbers

“I have the gold pair of these star ear climbers, and every time I wear them I get so many comments! They sit nice and flat against my ear, which I like, and they’ve never tarnished.”

 

3. Personalised Map Location Square

“We have this framed, personalised map in our living room. I chose Italy for the map because I’m half Italian, so Italy is very close to my heart. It’s also where my husband proposed to me! We were able to take the kids to the very spot in Fiesole where he proposed, last year – a very special family holiday.”

 

4. Personalised Grey Kit Bag

“This personalised duffle bag continues to be my go-to buy for blokes. I’ve bought one for my husband, one for my teenage son, and quite a few as birthday presents for my son’s mates.”

 

5. Personalised Script Socks

“I seem to have collected about three pairs of these personalised socks over the years! They are super warm and comfy – perfect for lounging around in – and they make great stocking fillers.”

 

6. Body Surfing Handplane

“The design and craftsmanship of these body surfers is exquisite. I bought one for my son a couple of years ago, and he loves it. My dad has one, too. At our last Christmas market, these handplanes sold out!”

 

7. Personalised Couple Boudoir Cushion Cover

“This personalised cushion sits on our bed at home. The lovely lady who cleans our house once a fortnight fell in love with it, so I bought one for her. Then all her friends started asking her to ask me to buy them one, too! Quite funny – I think I’ve bought four or five of these cushion now…”

 

8. Iconic Treat Sequin Purse

“This sequin purse is one of my favourite products on the site. It reminds me of fairy bread, and of being a kid. For a trip down memory lane, I highly recommend checking out this seller.”

 

9. Tour De France 1950 Print

“We have this framed on our wall at home. My husband loves to cycle, and he loves watching the Tour de France! I’m mad for vintage prints.”

 

10. ‘Super Cool and Fabulistic Sexy Mama’ T-shirt

“I bought myself this T-shirt recently and I love how soft the material is. The slogan says it all, really…”

If you want a Christmas gift that’ll keep on giving (that holiday spirit all December long!), a very merry decoration should be at the top of your list. It’s thoughtful, it’s affordable and it’s 100% guaranteed to boost their festive cheer. Not sure which Christmas decorations make the best pressies? That’s what we’re here for – with a bunch of our favourite silly season accessories that also double as awesome gifts.

 

Christmas ornaments

First up, Christmas ornaments. Forget a 12 pack of basic glitter baubles, personalised ornaments are a beautiful and thoughtful way for your friends and fam to trim their tree! These custom keepsakes can also be a lasting memento of an extra-special Christmas – think matching couple ornaments for your favourite newlyweds or an engraved wooden keepsake to celebrate a baby’s first Christmas. Or keep it a bit silly with colourful accessories, like a personalised bauble that you can fill with sweet treats (just hang them above the grabbing level of little hands!) or a custom doggo ornament to include your best furry friend in the festive fun.

1. ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ Personalised Stars Bamboo Ornament 2. Personalised Mirrored ‘Mr & Mrs’ Polar Bear Decoration 3. Personalised Fill Me Up Bauble 4. Personalised Dog Ornament

 

Santa sacks and stockings

If you’re banking on a visit from the big man in red, you best give him somewhere to put all those gifts and stocking stuffers… That’s why personalised Santa sacks and Christmas stockings make such great pressies. Created bespoke with the name of your special person (or pet!), they’re not just something to put out on December 24 – these custom decorations-turned-keepsakes are pretty enough to put on display all December with your tree. Just clapping eyes on them will definitely up the pre-Chrissy excitement!

1. Personalised Gold Star Navy Christmas Sack 2. Personalised Christmas Stamp Hessian Sack 3. Dog Personalised Santa Sack 4. Personalised Handmade Christmas Stocking

 

Wearable Christmas cheer

Quick question: If you don’t wear at least one kitsch Christmassy item on December 25 can you really call it Christmas? We don’t think so. Which is why we’re completely in favour of gifting festively fabulous clothing and accessories. Think earrings that look like mince pies, T-shirts with hilarious pudding puns, a mistletoe oven mitt or a super-cute onesie that tells everyone it’s your first Christmas. We reckon Rudolph would agree it’s so much better than a stuffy button-up.

You know the only thing better than getting a compliment on a new accessory? Getting a compliment on a new accessory that costs less than a couple of movie tickets.

Take it from us, the star sign medallion necklace by 2am The Label is a compliment magnet. First in our office to fall under its spell? Graphic designer, Georgia, who strolled into work one morning with a pisces pendant that caught all of our attention. There was much gazing, much swooning and much envy that we hadn’t been the first to spot it on hardtofind.

Because sharing is caring, Georgia sent around the link and a few days later, Sarah (also known as our seller production manager and resident cool Brit), had one in her own star sign glistening around her neck. Now, four of us have the necklace and it’s basically become the unofficial hardtofind uniform.

What makes this necklace so special? It might have something to do with the sweet twisted chain that’s subtle enough to layer with other dainty necklaces, but bold enough that it makes a statement all on its own. It might have something to do with the personal touch of your own cosmic sign (wear that lion charm with pride, Leo!). Or it might have something to do with the fact this necklace looks so much more exy than its $49.99 price tag. Either way, when we’re onto a good thing, we like to let each other (and you) know about it.

If the idea of getting your newly married mates a set of dinner napkins seems like a total snooze, go rogue from the registry and get the happy couple something unexpected but extra special. From a board game inspired by their favourite show to a custom constellation print for their marital home, these creative wedding gift ideas are a step up from the usual crockery and bath towel fare…

 

1. Games

You know what they say, ‘the couple that plays together stays together’… (Not sure ‘they’ ever played a heated game of Monopoly with their other half, but hey!) Upgrade the newlyweds’ game night collection with some fresh, fun activities – whether it’s a sleek set of playing cards, a new spin on a classic (Game of Thrones Cluedo, anyone?) or a creative puzzle that they can complete together. They also say ‘team work makes the dream work’!

1. Personalised Leather Playing Card Set 2. Games Room Poker 3. Game Of Thrones Cluedo Board Game 4. X-rated 1,000-piece Puzzle

 

2. Tech accessories

The perfect combination of super practical and ridiculously cool, the right tech gift will shoot straight to the top of their ‘favourite wedding gifts’ list. We’re thinking gadgets that mix the latest technology with a timeless façade – a sleek smart clock, a custom engraved solid oak charging dock, or a splurge-worthy Bluetooth speaker (you know, so they can replay their first dance song in the highest quality sound).

1. Lametric Time Smart Clock 2. Kreafunk Aplay Bluetooth Speaker 3. Personalised Family Charging Station 4. Marshall Woburn Bluetooth Speaker

 

3. Custom wall art

More long-lasting than a congratulatory message on a card, a piece of personalised wall art is a keepsake that’ll remind them of their big day (and their favourite guest) for years to come. Map out the stars in their wedding night sky with a custom constellation print, combine their initials in a simple, statement design or mark their favourite location with a personalised heart-shaped map.
