Supporting our local brands | Gift locally this Christmas

Christmas is only days away and if you have left things last minute (like a lot of us) we would love to shift your focus to some of our local and most loved brands. Shopping small and supporting local businesses invests back into the community and people around you. We are so lucky to have so many amazing brands based on the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas. Read on for our top picks for last minute gifts this Christmas from our local brands. Pop into our boutiques located in Noosa and Maroochydore - local store pick up for online orders available until 5pm Christmas Eve.

1. Charlee Swim 'chilli' bikini

For the ultimate cool girl bikini, look no further than Charlee Swim. Based in Noosa, Charlee Swim is a sustainable Australian swimwear label with stand out pieces that draw inspiration from the modern woman. Each piece is handmade in Australia from recycled materials such as old fishing nets and plastic water bottles. We love their new 'chilli' colour for a bright pop of colour on the beach or by the pool.

2. Joyeux 'Le Chill Boxy Tee'

Elevate your beachside style with the Le Chill Boxy by Joyeux. Crafted from soft, breathable cotton, this tee features a relaxed boxy fit perfect for laid-back days. This tee embodies effortless beachy vibes and pays homage to the beautiful beach town of Noosa, where Joyeux is based. Embrace relaxed elegance with the Le Chill Boxy Tee – your new favourite summer staple.

You can discover the entire Joyeux range online here.

3. Juni Studio plantable cards

No gift is complete without a personal card to go along with it. Our favourites are Juni Studio's plantable greeting cards embedded with daisy seeds. Their stunning cards tick all the boxes for Christmas gifting by being both sustainable and local to us.

4. Gentle Habit snorkel set

Heading a bit further down the coast and based on the Gold Coast is our all time favourite lifestyle brand - Gentle Habits. For an Australian summer Christmas gift we are loving their snorkel sets. Available in lots of colours and a great unisex gift!

5. Little Palma caps

Also based on the Gold Coast is Little Palma who have perfected the dad cap for this season! Lots of colours available and we think they make the best gift for the girl that has everything or a perfect Secret Santa gift too.

We hope this helps with some last minute Christmas gifting, especially if you are local to the Sunshine Coast and our stores. We are open all the way up until Christmas Eve, with in store pick up for online orders available until 5pm.

Merry Christmas, with love, the Alterior Motif team xx
