  • Avoid shipping delays (Australia is notorious in December!)

  • Get access to full product ranges before stock sells out

  • Create personalised gifts without rushing

  • Take the time to choose something meaningful rather than defaulting to generic gifts

2. Give them something with meaning

Retro and memory-focused gifts have become one of the most popular trends for Christmas 2025 because people want gifts with a story — not mass-produced plastic.
