I love gifts, but they're certainly not expected. For those intent on bringing a gift or sending a show of appreciation, here is some inspiration:
Wish List
Gift cards
Dymocks, Mecca Cosmetica, David Jones, The Iconic, Uber, Playful Promises
Fragrance & beauty products
Objects
One of those robot vacuums
Books
Light by M. John Harris (2002)
The Candy House by Jennifer Egan (2022)
Indulgences
You can't go wrong with treats. Any sort of fancy loose leaf tea, butter shortbread, or gourmet chocolates will win the moment.
