Fashion Journal’s annual gift guide for 2023 is here

Thoughtful presents from some of our favourite local makers and creatives.

I shudder to think of the hours I’ve spent in packed shopping centres or scrolling online, only to settle on gifts for loved ones that are (most likely) regifted in the new year.  You know the type: a thoughtless, crowd-pleasing gift set from a mass chain store that says nothing about the person you’re buying for and could just as easily be given to nan as it could to your nephew.

Despite our best intentions, when you consider how many gifts each of us gives over this time of year, it makes sense we end up taking shortcuts. But here’s a gifting shortcut that will have you feeling better about yourself.

At Fashion Journal, we’ve been working to curate the ultimate 2023 FJ Annual Gift Guide. Split into convenient budget brackets, it covers everything from $10 electric-blue eyeshadow to delicate $450 baroque pearl earrings.

Each item has been hand-selected by the expert gift-givers at FJ (if we do say so ourselves), and the guide includes pieces from some of our favourite local makers and creatives. Click below to open the gift guide in full screen, click on any product to shop and happy gifting!
