Christmas Gift Ideas 2020 – Supporting Local Businesses
More than ever we want to show our support for our local Australian/Victorian businesses out there. We’ve done a special call out to collect some funky, local and special Christmas gift ideas for you, your family and friends.
As usual, we’ve paired a Vlog with this blog, highlighting some of our favourite food related gifts, though check out the following categorised list for a myriad of local gift ideas. Let’s #ShopLocal this year.
Keep in mind that AusPost has advised all orders be placed prior to the 12 December in order to arrive before Christmas.
