Joy to the world; it’s the time of year to buy pressies for your favourite peoples (and even perhaps those you don’t know heaps well).

Not a seasoned gifter? No worries! Our resident present hunter has done the hard yards for you, pairing Simone Walsh’s exquisite jewellery with other Australian Christmas gifts from local businesses. All you have to do is hand them over.

Spicy Australian Gifts

As is our tradition we’re supporting small businesses, beginning with the literal tastiest; Mabu Mabu. Kicking off in 2018, Mabu Mabu have brought Indigenous ingredients into the kitchen, waking our taste buds up to the flavours of the ancient land we call home.

For 2024 we suggest tapping into their hot sauce collection, specifically the pineapple. It’s a perfect hot sauce for this time of year; summery and tropical, and you can use it as a salad dressing. Delicious. To keep the warmth of the sauce going, pair it in a gift with Simone Walsh’s Wattle Branch & Sapphires Necklace. A shiny silver piece paired with a sparkly cluster of yellow and pink sapphires on gold pins.

Your gift recipient will be glowing from the inside out. And if they’re a big fan of hot sauce; choose a few from the range to reflect their tastes.

Colourful Australiana Gift Ideas

Sticking with colourful Australiana, our next gifted pair features the bright and beautiful Major Mitchell Major Coolness fine art print by Inaluxe matched with Simone’s Solid Gold Wattle Pendant.

We reckon these will be present bffs, making the perfect combo for one of yours. Inaluxe combines the work of artists Kristina Sostarko and Jason Odd, and like Simone they celebrate the nature of Australia in a bright, original way.

The pairing of Australian jewellery and art has the advantage of bringing our beautiful outdoors inside, without the disadvantage of triggering anyone’s allergies.

Outdoorsy Christmas Gift Pairing

If the gift recipient is an outdoorsy type, our next selection could be the one for you. We’ve put together our happy Starfish & Lapis Lazuli Cluster Necklace with this classic summer straw boater by Will & Bear.

With a range inspired by the Australian landscape, Will & Bear’s boater is made with 100% natural straw with a double brimmed edge to keep it strong. As a bonus the company uses profits to plant seeds for a greener tomorrow.

Personally we imagine ourselves in this cute combo looking out to sea, planning new, exciting adventures. Like a sunsafe, stylish starfish.

Comfy Australian Gifts: Tulips & Cushions

Our final present combo has been left for last on purpose. We’ve decided that the end of 2024 should be about the snuggle rather than the struggle. This is reflected by matching Simone’s gentle Double Tulip Rose Gold Earrings with an organic cotton Lazybones Flower Study Cushion Cover.

To us the classic elegance of both Lazybones’ cushion cover and Simone’s double tulip suggests long afternoons curled up with a book and purring cat or sleepy doggo.

A great present pairing for someone looking to slow things right down and breathe out.

Happy Christmas Gifting!

Don’t forget; most of Simone’s gorgeous jewellery has complementary pieces which make great Australian Christmas gift pairings all by themselves. Check out our jewellery shop for more.
