A wide variety of
hand-made Australiana and Aboriginal art
tableware items, fashioned in alloy that never requires polishing
[

], is becoming increasingly popular as corporate gifts and as a
house gift for couples. There are
nut bowls
for Christmas entertaining and larger bowls for fruit, biscuits and
sweets.
Plates and coasters are among the
other pieces that shine in this Aussie craft range, which sits
somewhere between artwork and functional tableware. Most pieces
display specially-commissioned Aboriginal artwork representations of
Australian native wildlife, drawn by Marsha Hall, a widely-respected
Aboriginal artist from Far North Queensland. The local wildlife
representations include the pretty green tree frog, the brolga and
the crocodile. Some of this tableware features the perennially
popular Australian flowering gum design. Any of these pieces looks
great on a favourite coffee table or dining room buffet.
All items in the art print and tableware metal
art product ranges are also ideal as
corporate gifts and 'extremely special' gifts in the workplace.
Children are certainly, absolutely not to be forgotten as
another group of seriously important recipients of Xmas gifts.
Especially for boys and girls alike, Australia Gift Shop stocks a
very
cuddly range of soft toys [

]. There are fluffy kangaroos and koalas with
flags and swags and red ribbons for Christmas. A couple
of shelves are lined with tiny cling koalas that can clip on to
other objects. Some hold the Aussie flag and some don't.
Koalas that snore, plush crocodiles and even
kangaroo and koala trolley bags for little travellers are
all waiting to be given a home. Our range of
Australian Children’s Books [
shop for these in Aussie Dollars ]
provides some excellent offerings for Christmas gifts. Eucalyptus
gum drops and Outback fruit lollies and confectionery often follow
the toy marsupials wherever they go. This is an
Aussie Toy Story [

Most boys love to play with
colourful returning boomerangs [

the most suitable for this purpose. Girls enjoy accessorising with a
koala opal pendant or a furry koala leatherwork purse. One
particularly trendy
carry bag features an embroidered koala and a
mobile phone holder [
