10 AUSTRALIAN GIFT IDEAS

For my whole life I have had most of my family overseas.  Cousins, uncles, aunts and now the next generation of kids.   

When a birthday came around, or when we were lucky enough to go for a visit, I would spend hours searching for gifts that weren't.....well, weren't NAFF.   

What is NAFF?   NAFF is the gifts that are cheap, ugly or that no-one uses. The 6th set of coasters, or a t-shirt that says  'I ❤️ AUS' that is always the wrong size. 

 

I'm happy to share this fabulous collection of Australian toys. We are sure that  there is something for everyone here. 

Let's check them out:

  

1 - AUSTRALIAN ANIMALS PUZZLES

Thick wood pieces that won't get bent or break.  These Super Chunky puzzles make for a great first puzzle.
