With thousands of positively glowing reviews on the listing, this simple Lego set is ideal for flower enthusiasts, with two pastel-hued cuttings of these iconic blooms. Each lotus flower stem measures over 19cm long and comes with different coloured pieces to create your own unique stems.
Despite receiving an upgrade with the Mini 2K camera in recent months, Blink's impressive first-generation Mini 2 has just gotten even more affordable thanks to Amazon. Now just AU$17 for a single unit, the Blink Mini 2 offers high-resolution live-view footage, a built-in LED spotlight and two-way audio. The camera also detects motion, so your loved ones can put their mind at ease when away from home. You can also grab a two-pack for just AU$31, now discounted by 61% — that’s just AU$15.50 each.
If your loved ones are constantly on the go, be it commuting or travelling, there's no better accessory to have than a portable power bank for your devices. Our colleagues over at TechRadar give it top marks in their best power banks guide, as it can fast charge your phone or your laptop with ease, and still have extra juice left over.
Keep track of your keys, bag, or wallet with Ugreen's FineTrack smart tracker. Now just AU$17.99 on Amazon, the tracker has a built-in buzzer that can play up to 80dB of sound to find your item and can be tracked through the "Find My" App for iOS users.
Gifts Under AU$50
Knocking up to 51% off, these clogs are extremely versatile, breathable and dry fast when wet, making them perfect for almost every activity. Not to mention that Crocs have come back into style lately, with sizes for kids, women's, and men's to choose from, making these clogs perfect for everyone. Plus, at this price, you can grab a discounted pack of Jibbitz to personalise the pair for your giftee. A range of colours is available under the same listing.
The festive season is here, and these Harry Potter Lego Advent Calendars typically sell out like hot cakes. If you've got a young wizard in your life, zoom your broom and nab one of these 24-day sets right now.
Another great home security gift is Blink's Video Doorbell System, which includes a Sync Module Core for secure footage saving. Blink's doorbell has a two-year battery life, meaning you won't have to worry about hardwiring if your loved ones are renting. It also has a 150° head-to-toe view, can automatically send parcel and person alerts, and help keep their worries at bay with continuous live view.
A great travel gift is the Twelve South AirFly SE, a handy little transmitter that connects your Bluetooth headphones to your in-flight entertainment screen. This transmitter was an absolute winner in my books, as I was able to use my Apple AirPods Max throughout the entire 10-hour flight to Tokyo with no hassles (or annoying wires!).
Sometimes the best gift is one you don't think about receiving — and that sentiment rings true for this electric toothbrush. Oral-B's Pro 800 CrossAction may not offer more than one cleaning mode, however, this electric toothbrush surpasses manual brushing with its rotating and pulsating head for superior plaque removal. It also includes a travel case and a replacement brush head.
Gifts Under AU$100
Looking for a great gift for the gym junkie in your life? This portable blender is perfect for on-the-go protein shakes, juices, smoothies, party drinks and more. It's compact, cordless and can power through 15 blending cycles on a single charge.
Available in fun colourways, including navy, white and magenta pink.
As the first in the series made specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2, Pokémon Legends: Z-A promises sharper visuals and smoother gameplay than the notoriously rough Scarlet & Violet. However, this time the classic turn-based combat has been swapped for a real-time system, sure to thrill some fans and frustrate others.
I'm not going to lie here — I got one of these Kogan ice makers as a Christmas gift in December 2023, and it's truly become something I cannot live without. Perfect for summer (or in my case, all-year-round iced coffees), this machine can produce up to 12 kg of frozen bullet ice within 24 hours. You can choose between small and large sizes, and it comes with a scoop for easy serving into your preferred beverage.
Arguably, my most sought-after gift this year would be this Pixar Luxo Jr Lego build (though my second choice is the Twilight The Cullen House Lego set, of course). This fun lamp brings home the nostalgia of all the studio's movies with a posable head, extendable arm, and the beloved Pixar ball.
Gifts Under AU$300
Got a home barista who loves creamy lattes and cappuccinos on your list? This bundle offers the same one-touch coffee convenience as the standalone Nespresso Vertuo Pop, only with an included Nespresso milk frother and iced travel tumbler. This deal applies to both the stunning Pistachio and Lemon colour variants.
If your budget doesn't stretch to the full AU$198, you can nab a similar model without the frother in Coconut for AU$98.
If you're giving your kids a new TV or shopping for your parents this Christmas, this screen from Kogan could be the one. At an impressive 62% discount, this 32-inch smart TV will do the job well according to user reviews, and it costs less than AU$250. You can stream using your favourite apps, and even use it hands-free thanks to the built-in Google Assistant voice controls.
Finally, a Lego set that represents the feline friend on your shopping list, this adorable creature is the purrfect companion to any home decor. Available with yellow and blue eyes in the box, this Lego cat is designed with a posable head, tail and paws.
Got that one friend or sibling who's already planned their next holiday? Featuring a waterproof base compartment, laptop pocket, internal key clip, detachable shoulder strap, and a separate shoe compartment, this stylish yet durable bag is perfect for any weekend away or short trips. It's also the perfect size for carry-on luggage, with room to keep any travel necessities close by during long-haul trips.
This versatile bag is available in four colourways — ivory, olive, pebble and charcoal — and also comes in a larger Long Weekender size.
If you or your partner works from home, this walking pad could be a great addition to their gifts. While we haven't reviewed this particular walking pad in our best under desk treadmills lineup, it does meet the criteria to be included in the running. The Sperax RM-A-01 walking pad houses three modes — walking, jogging and vibration — so you can meet your fitness goals while working from home. It's light, compact and easily folded away, so you won't have to worry about the machine taking up too much floor space when not in use.
Honestly, there's someone in your life who doesn't have an air fryer, so it might be the best time to gift them this Ninja model, now 50% off. This model houses two independently controlled drawers that can cook up to four different foods at once, all while taking up less counter space than a typical extra-large air fryer. With a massive 7.6L capacity, you can even control the timings so that your whole meal — sides and all — are done at the exact same time.
Also available in the white 9.5L variant for AU$299.99, down from AU$499.99.
