‘Tis the season to panic buy a bottle of Shiraz for your in-laws on the way to Christmas lunch. But, if you’re looking to be a little more considered (read: organised) in this year’s festive gift exchange, our 2024 gift guide is your saving grace.
Is there a greater feeling than nailing the perfect gift for the right recipient, or watching on as your coveted trinket gets stolen time and time again in the annual game of Dirty Santa?
From experiences to locally crafted tipples, this gift guide has a little of a lot and you’re sure to find something for everyone on your Christmas list.
Here are the best Christmas gifts in Perth from local brands we love.
Create Memories With A Live Experience
For that person in your life who is notoriously hard to buy for, scrap the material goods this year and get them an experience they won’t forget. Thanks to Perth’s very own home of live entertainment, RAC Arena, you’ll find something for everyone. Seriously, where else can you get a gift for your die-hard Wildcats fan cousin, your comedy-loving sister or your muso uncle all in one hit?
With acts like Childish Gambino, Paul Kelly and Cyndi Lauper heading to Perth in 2025 the choices are plentiful for the music lover in your life.
If you’re feeling extra generous, here’s your chance to elevate to god-tier friend status by shouting tickets to Katy Perry next June to scream California Girls like it’s 2010.
Head to their website here to check out what’s on and map out a memorable 2025 for your loved ones.
Give The Gift Of Self Care
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy a much-needed moment of self care—and that’s kind of the same thing, right? Mt Lawley locals, Blume Aesthetics are purveyors of pampering and with an impressive suite of skin and beauty treatments on offer, they're sure to leave your recipient feeling their absolute best heading into the new year.
Skincare is really having a moment (and rightly so, wear your sunscreen people) but if you don’t know your peptides from your ceramides, a gift card is always a good option so they can choose a perfectly tailored lineup of products to suit their personal needs.
Seeing as it’s the season for giving, our friends at Blume are offering a limited-time gift card offer that you don’t want to miss. Purchase a $100 gift card, and receive $150 value, a $200 gift card receives $300 value, and a $500 gift card receives $750 value.
Visit the Blume Aesthetics website to make the most of the limited-time offer, or sticky beak at the range of top- products and treatments available.
Share The Christmas Spirit, Literally
Experts in the world of distilling, Republic of Fremantle have spent years honing their craft and the results speak for themselves. These meticulously crafted spirits are laboured over from grape to glass and will be sure to impress the booze connoisseur in the family.
Our pick of the season is their limited release barrel aged negroni, created in collaboration with WA locals Chouette Wines. With delicious notes of blackcurrant balanced out with intricate yet subtle spice, all this needs is a big old block of ice, a fresh slice of orange and bob’s your uncle.
Republic of Fremantle also play host to a slew of masterclasses for any budding mixologists in your inner circle. Send them to cocktail school and reap the benefits—clever.

Now, choosing is the hard part when it comes to the extensive range from Mountain & Moon, so avoid decision paralysis with a gift card and let them choose their own adventure.

Beach Sets With All The Bells And Whistles
It wouldn’t be a Perth gift guide without mentioning icons, Dyspnea. Finally giving the people what they want and entering into swimwear this season (yay), means you can deck out your beach-loving bestie in some one-of-a-kind swimmers.
The Biarritz Bikini is all things saucy, sparkly, and mermaidcore—and it’s a big yes from us.
These prezzes are hand crafted, cruelty free and 100% hot. Head here to snap something up from the new Club D collection before it all sells out.
