Despite the fact that I spend my days researching and writing about great design, I struggle when it comes to gift-buying for friends and family. Time constraints, too many choices, not enough choices... finding the perfect gift can be challenging, especially when it comes to milestone occasions such as the arrival of a new baby or housewarming. So when I received an email from Catherine Blackford recently, introducing her new eco gift service Bindle, I was eager to find out more.

Catherine's clever take on the name Bindle, which traditionally refers to the bundle of possessions carried by a hobo, has seen her form relationships with many local Australian brands such as Salus, Kennedy and Wilson, Melbourne Rooftop Honey and TreeHorn Design. The resulting gift 'Bindles' are not only unique and exquisitely presented, they artfully blend sustainability with style and are one hundred percent Australian made.

Whether you are buying for a mother to be, loved one or corporate client, Bindle provides something special and memorable for friends, family and colleagues. Bindle gift boxes can be purchased from the online store at bindle.com.au and delivered anywhere in Australia. My only hope now is that Bindle expands into New Zealand!
