Last-minute Christmas gifts for the Sydney home

Christmas is the season of celebration and one of the best things about a homewares gift is that it suits so many people. Pick one up as a hostess gift or a last-minute present for grandma. Summer in Sydney equals relaxed living. So with this in mind, here are some last-minute gifts that would fit perfectly in any Sydney home.

Let there be light

Candles are a great last-minute gift. Ava & Me is a small Australian business run by a farmer’s wife based on the NSW/Victoria border. We think the Seaside Mist or Byron Bay scented candles would be perfect for a Sydney home. Another option is Palm Beach Collection, a family-owned business selling candles inspired by Palm Beach.

If you want to up the ante, Sydney-based Hunter Candles has A Candle A Month subscription. The gift that keeps on giving, your special someone can get a candle delivered monthly. You can also stop by their store in The Strand Arcade for last-minute gifts.

A beautiful spread

A bright, beautiful floral tablecloth from The Somewhere Co will look great with lots of fresh summer food on it. You can even get matching napkins.

Flower power

Cushion covers are a great idea if you intimately know the person’s Sydney home and what would work with the existing décor. Peacocks and Paisleys is a small business with an extensive collection of cushion covers that would fit seamlessly into a coastal Sydney home.

Another option to brighten up any home is the beach-themed cushion range at Willow and Beach. If the person you’re shopping for has a more eclectic home, Utopia Goods is known for its hand-printed cushion covers with unique Australian botanical designs.

Good cheer

There are glasses and then there are unbreakable silicone glasses from porter green. Established by two Melburnian sisters, their glasses collection includes stemless and stemmed wine glasses, cocktail glasses and champagne flutes. If you can’t choose, you can also buy a gift pack. This one includes two cocktail glasses, two champagne flutes, coasters and the vegan waterproof picnic rug. Add a bottle of crisp white wine or some bubbles and you’re done!

Snooze time

If you feel like spoiling someone, treat them to some bed linens from CULTIVER. The company is known for its high-quality products and textiles, which are thoughtfully sourced and carefully selected, with premium quality and style in mind. Not to be dramatic, but the linen sheet sets are life-changing. Another Aussie option are the linen sheet sets from I Love Linen.

A little of everything

If you can’t decide, guess what? You don’t have to with a homewares hamper! These hampers offer a little bit of everything and are a great last-minute gift that doesn’t feel last minute.

• Gifts Australia has several homewares hampers available, from Home Essentials to Lounging in Luxury.
• The Hamper Emporium also has lots of similar options.
• The It Kit has hampers like the Home Makeover Kit, Home Luxuries Kit and the Red Wine Time Kit. Pick your poison!

Still stuck?

If none of these ideas are working for you or the person you’re gifting, turn to Living by Design. On the website, there’s a section for homeware gifts by price. The under $50 range is comprehensive and includes everything from candle holders to photo frames to glasses and coffee table books. You can also purchase a gift voucher.
