Gifts Under $100

Solaqua is an up-and-coming Sydney brand that started out with Turkish towels and is now expanding its offering. We love this green cap ($59.95)

Forget holly and tinsel. These Maison Balzac Christmas tree decorations are distinctly Southern Hemisphere treats: juicy summer fruits ($89). Perfect for parents in law? Work colleagues? Friends living overseas and missing a sunny Christmas?

Everyone needs a set of playing cards and they don’t come much chicer than these from Oroton ($80).

This is a gift you’d never think to buy yourself, but something they’ll use all the time – a set of 10 makeup brushes from Mecca ($89).

Gift them an extra pair of swimmers, like this square-neck, ribbed swimsuit from COS ($89 with 20% off).

Everyone needs an emotional support water bottle and this one from Frank Green ($54.99) comes in fun colours like purple and pink one as well as a happy buttermilk yellow (photographed above).

This stone teaspoon ($25) from Dinosaur Designs would be cute on a serving platter or to serve rock salt – and it comes in a huge range of fun colours.

Pool toys don’t need to be garish! Exhibit A: this stylish ring ($39.99) from Sunny Life.

How elegant is this Maison Balzac martini glass ($69) which even features a glass olive. Fun with a capital F.

Culinary maximalist Molly Baz is back with her second cookbook and one heck of a Caesar salad recipe. Essential reading for the OTT foodie in your life, $39.95.

You can’t go wrong with a black mascara and a red lippy – especially when it’s from YSL ($72). Chic and useful.
