Gift Ideas from 10 Australian Stationery Brands

As the holidays approach, we’re celebrating the small, local, and independent brands at WashiGang. It's been a tough year for many small businesses, but that hasn't stopped independent brands from continuing to burn the candle at both ends and create beautiful and unique designs for their loyal customers. 

This year we urge you to support your local community by shopping small and independent Australian brands. Not only will you find a personal gift made by local small businesses, you will also help to keep unique perspectives and voices alive and well in your community! 

We stock a range of stationery and accessories by independent Australian brands at WashiGang! Here are a few gift ideas from Aussie brands.
