The Isadora Nim Self-Gift Guide: 9 Small Businesses to Support

We’re firm believers in taking care of yourself, and towards the end of the year, we think it’s best done with a little self-gifting while supporting hard-working Australian small business owners. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for yourself, we’ve got you covered. 

Here are 9 of our favourite small businesses, based right here in Melbourne, to support this year and in the year ahead.

  1. If you’re a lover of wines, you’re going to want to head on over to Blackhearts & Sparrows. With a full range of some of Melbourne’s best wines, and the glasses to pour them into, Blackhearts & Sparrows is always high on our list.

  2. Looking for some creative and colour earrings for Boxing Day and beyond? The Dainty Wonderer designs and creates some of the most beautiful clay earrings all from the comfort of her own home has a wide range of options, for however and wherever you want to wear them.

  3. Sometimes, we all need a little pick me up, and what better way than a fun delivery with a great unboxing experience? LVLY Flower Jars should be your go-to for a delightful self-gift and love note attached. In our opinion? They’re the simplest way to brighten your day.

  4. If you’ve got an insatiable sweet tooth, head on over to The Confectionist. For everything from decorated sugar cookies to a cookie with your face on it - they have what you’re after. 

  5. For those looking to add some colour to their walls or perhaps their keys, Three Cotton Knots have designed some of the most beautiful rainbow wall hangers for every room in the house.

  6. Not only one of the most delicious chocolates made here in Melbourne, but some of the most beautiful packaging also. Hey Tiger Co is handmade right here in Richmond and has flavors of all sorts from Milk Chocolate to Caramel and Gingerbread. #AddsToCart

  7. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we love our indoor plants as if they are our own children. The Plant Honey creates hand-painted pots are the perfect gift for any home.

  8. Did someone say flowers but make them last? Moments and Memories create some of the most beautiful luxury everlasting dried arrangement flowers in Melbourne.

  9. Looking for something fun for the little people in the house? Popstic Ice Cream is a Melbourne based, big-hearted, small business creating delicious festive desserts for all ages. 

We hope you found something from our list that you love, and if you have any to share, we’d love you to drop them in the comments below.
