Shop meaningful gifts this Christmas

Aboriginal Retail Australia Members Christmas Catalogue 2025

A festive celebration of First Nations retailers, culture and creativity.

This year’s Christmas Holiday season brings something special for those who love meaningful gifts. Aboriginal Retail Australia has officially launched its first Christmas Catalogue — a collection of authentic, ethical, and beautifully crafted gifts available online by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander retailers across the country.

The catalogue shines a spotlight on businesses whose products aren’t just seasonal purchases, but unique expressions of First Nations culture, storytelling, community, and Country.

Aboriginal Retail Australia is “committed to enhancing the participation of Aboriginal businesses in the retail sector to drive economic development, equity and social impact.”

That vision comes to life on every page.

🎁 Gifts with Culture, Story and Purpose

From fashion and jewellery to bushfood, bath products, books, toys, homewares and artisan chocolate, the Christmas Catalogue elevates gifts that carry history, language and connection.

Highlights include:

• Ilan Style Cosy Treats Gift Box — a complete wellness ritual featuring native teas, tea-infused chocolates, and accessories “wrapped with intention, grounded in First Nations wisdom, and made to be shared.”
• Aussie Bushfood Chocolate Gift Bag by Chocolate on Purpose featuring native ingredients like Davidson Plum and Macadamia, wrapped with their Blak Santa, Babiin Ngungghi (Father of Giving). ARA_Christmas_Catalogue
• Blak Angels Blakmas PJs from Clothing the Gaps, with playful artwork, flag-inspired buttons, and matching family sets. ARA_Christmas_Catalogue

These products bring joy, creativity and celebration not only to the recipient, but to the businesss who create them.

🌿 Products representing Country

Many gifts bring forward the everyday relationship First Nations peoples share with nature, healing practices and land. For example:

• Wadhi Bush Aromatherapy by L.A Couch expresses how the scent of the bush enhances “spiritual awareness and connection to self and Country.”
• Native Rebalance Tea by Kakadu Organics offers a way to soothe the mind and body, promoting focus and calm.
• Indigenous Ivory Clay & Wattleseed Soap by Mwerre nourishes the skin with Kaolin clay and crushed wattleseed exfoliation.

These gifts nourish the spirit, helping wind down from 2025.

Gifts for Baby and Little Adventurers

There’s plenty for young learners, adventurers and storytellers:

• Dreamtime Connection Matching Game by Songlines. Art. Culture. Education helps children build knowledge through play while learning culture respectfully.
• Books for Bubup by Yarn Strong Sista introduces little ones to animals, numbers and Country in visually engaging ways.
• Kids Garden Tool Set by Gardening on Country diverts plastic from landfill and gets kids exploring nature.

These aren’t just toys — they’re tools for cultural enrichment and education.
