RetroKitchen is about gifting something that is purposeful, sustainable and gratifying. Bring the outdoors in with these gorgeous little grow-kits, complete with peat pots, substrate discs, quality Australian seeds and a ‘how-to’ guide that includes great recipes. Easily nurture a mini garden of microgreens and micro-herbs or grab a grow-your-own-tea kit in chamomile, peppermint, echinacea and more. There’s even a mixologist’s blend so you can grow ingredients to add subtle zesty, spicy and citrus notes to almost any drink.

Designing product ‘systems’ as opposed to static objects, Alex Noble creates innovative and eco-friendly modular interior accessories to light up your home. These sustainable handmade homewares include table lamps and pendants all made from recycled polypropylene, with Noble’s work aspiring to have a point of difference beyond just alternative aesthetic form.

‘Stooga’ means ‘cottage’ in Swedish, and Stuga Design takes its inspiration from Scandinavian ancestors to simplify the art of grooming by drawing on traditional techniques. Build a simple and effective grooming ritual with handcrafted artisan wooden shaving brushes, hand-poured shaving soaps and hand-blended beard oils, all sourced from the finest materials and raw ingredients.

‘Accidental artist’ Adrina believes everyone can be an artist, if they just start with simple things. She spreads this philosophy with Little Noisy Miner, a collection of cute stationery and simple home décor featuring hand-drawn black and white line art. Stock up on prints, note cards, or comfy cushions and tote bags to bring a little sweet simplicity to your home.

Merchants of Nonsense certainly live up to their name with their fun and refreshing animal prints, each with its own cute personality and backstory. There’s Miku, for instance, a Dutch rabbit who loves baseball, sumo wrestling and anime, especially Dragonball Z. Or Dakota, a pony from Ontario who used to be in a girl band but is now a fashion and beauty blogger. Part-picture, part-short story, these prints are a whole lot of whimsical fun.
