Our Suppliers
At Thinking of You Gift, we are passionate about supplying ethically sourced products. That means we handpick suppliers that showcase great Australian made products and cleverly crafted international wares.
It’s so important to us that our suppliers and manufacturers treat their employees fairly in accordance with local laws, both in terms of the wages they pay their employees and the working hours and conditions for their employees. We are really proud of the quality products that line our shelves and we know you’ll love them as much as we do!
Here are some of our great suppliers:
Signature Bunting
Our bunting is screen printed by Freya on upcycled fabrics. It is our signature gift and can be designed around your personalised message or the child’s name.
We have the alphabet ready and waiting to be pieced at your request and can be delivered the same day if you call in the morning.
Once a year invite the community to join Freya and foster her love of sewing at our annual sewing bee to sew the individual pennants.
