LOCAL AUSSIE BUSINESSES TO SUPPORT THIS CHRISTMAS

As someone who works for themselves, I understand how important support for small Aussie businesses is around this time of year (and all throughout the year!).

The businesses listed below are ones that the kids and I absolutely LOVE and use ourselves (none of this is sponsored btw, I would legally have to tell you if it was!).

Every time you purchase and support a small business, an actual person does a real happy dance behind the screen, so whenever you can, support small.

Petite Skin Co

Madi has been using this brand for well over a year now and she absolutely LOVES it. Not only is the packing super cute (obviously aimed at tweens, they nailed the brief!), the skincare itself has been formulated for younger skin and is gentle, natural and easy for the kids to use.

I swear my 11 year old has a more impressive skincare regime than I do, but she absolutely loves doing her routine with her products and prides herself on it.

There are also really cute accessories available to keep all your tween’s products in one place and I’m pretty sure you can get $10 off your first order too.

I hope you enjoy this local brand from Sunny Coast, Australia!

Strucket

Ohh the Strucket, I have many. I first found this product scrolling through Facebook one day because it looked amazing and you got it, I loved it. I own a few different sizes because I have two in the laundry and one or two in the kitchen (varying sizes). They just make life easier especially when it comes to soaking laundry or rinsing your fruits and veggies.

“Strainer meets Bucket” quickly sums up what you’re getting here and it’s life changing. I shit you not.

This is another local brand hailing from the Sunny Coast, Australia (gosh they’re good up there!).

Cheeky Winx

The brand was on my TikTok feed daily and when I realised they were a local Brisbane brand (where I live), I thought bugger it, i’m going to finally get myself a nice gym towel, one with my name on it.

These towels are ultra absorbent, quick drying, quirky, cheeky and unique, which is why I love them! Of course I got myself the taco towel, but I got a couple of spares for the training space as clients always forget their towel (guilty here too!).

I’m lucky to have a discount for this one, as I loved them so much!

Adventure Snacks

I literally ordered the kids some Christmas presents off here the same day that i’m writing this after searching high and low for some new lunchboxes for the kids. There are so many options and ranges on this website that the only problem you’re really going to have is decided which one to choose!

Lunchboxes, snack accessories, drink bottles - it’s all on there in the one place and can make going back to school a little more exciting next year or if you’re Coopy, walk around with your snacks wherever you go, because you never know when you might need a snack.

You can get 10% off your first order here, just like I did and support this wonderful Western Australian business.

Rudie Nudie

We have been using this brand since Coopy was born and he’s nearly 3 and they’re still going strong!

These playmates are colourful, bloody handy and most of all, WATERPROOF! We have 2 different sizes at our house - one small one that I use in the training space for my client’s kids and then the giant picnic rug which stays in the back of the car so we always have a rug ready to go at the park or whereever we may be (and when I say giant, my family of 5 could all lay on it if we wanted to but who lays down at the park with a toddler, haha).

Mine have been vomited on a million times, peed on, covered in milk, water - the general usage when you have kids and with one quick wash they’re all ready to go again. Like I said, 3 years and still going strong here.

You can get $10 off with your first order over $60 with these guys.

Serve Neat

I’m pretty sure that I was their first ever customer and I now have 2 Serve Neats to my name that get used ALL THE TIME. From brekky platters to party platters, there’s always a reason to use it.

Taco night, picnics, girls drinks, arts and crafts, you name it and there’s a bloody good use for a Serve Neat.

They come in three colours: black, pink and white.

This is a local Brisbane business that I absolutely LOVE and will be using like crazy this Christmas! You can also get 10% off your first order.

Mayrae The Label

Another local Brisbane business creating the most gorgeous and comfortable tees! Created with comfort in mind, i’m pretty sure this is the comfiest tee that I own and I absolutely love it.

This brand gives boho, chilled and zen vibes and I’m here for it. You can dress it down for the school run and everyday look or completely dress it up to head out, they’re so gorgeous you can do both.

Get 10% off your first order here too!

Enjoy, support local and happy Christmas shopping!
