Supporting local creators is always in, and this Christmas is no exception. Here at Urban List, we're big fans of trading generic gifts for something truly original. All while supporting incredible small businesses right here on the Gold Coast/Kombumerri Country and surrounds.
Our vibrant community is brimming with talented makers, artists, and boutique stores offering one-of-a-kind treasures. And chances are you've got a mate or two in the local business scene who's doing big things too. Maybe their name pops up here on this round up. Or, you can gift from one local creator to another. Kind is king.
Whether you're shopping for the foodie friend, the friend who needs a break (so, everyone), or the one who already has it all, this guide has something for everyone.
From handcrafted homewares to indulgent treats, here are top picks of locally sourced goods to gift for Christmas in 2025.
