Making a
social impact
Thinking of You Gift makes a positive social impact by sourcing and stocking handmade, socially responsible products that support communities and emerging artists (many who are marginalised) to gain meaningful work and live a fulfilling life.
The shop provides a platform for local artists – many living with disabilities – to sell and share their work and develop their own microbusinesses. It also supports 13 social enterprises from across Australia and overseas to positively impact their communities.
Everything is carefully considered right down to the packaging, using recycled newsprint from Earth Bound Creations and recycled bows from the One Billion Stars project to reduce our environmental footprint.

Can you make a difference just by buying some cards?

Community Sewing Bee
Sew We Can events
Sew We Can is an annual event that draws together a community of enthusiastic sewers to give back through sewing.
Started in 2016, sewers assemble bunting letter pennants which are then individually screen printed by Freya to form Thinking of You Gift's signature customised bunting.
A day of happy chatter, beautiful bunting, clacking machines and new friends and old, the event brings the community together. It also provides an opportunity to share Freya's story and encourage other people who are marginalised to pursue their passion and live a life driven with purpose.
