The Ultimate Sustainable Gift Guide: Eco-Friendly Gifts Made with Heart in Australia
The joy of giving, the sustainable way
If you’ve ever found yourself panic-buying a last-minute gift that ends up collecting dust faster than a forgotten treadmill, you’re not alone. But here’s a thought: what if your next gift could make someone smile and do something good for the planet?
At Mulbury, we believe the ultimate gift isn’t about glitter and ribbons. It’s about crafting something meaningful, eco-friendly, and made right here in Australia. Our range of sustainable timber frames, homewares, and décor pieces aren’t just presents; they’re stories told through reclaimed wood, handcrafted with care, and designed to last for years to come.
Why Mulbury’s gifts make the greenest kind of sense
We’ve spent decades turning salvaged timber into high-quality picture frames and home essentials. It’s our small way to give back to the planet, one offcut at a time.
Our practice of using recycled materials means less waste, more creativity, and more beautiful things for you and your loved one to enjoy.
And because we’re powered by clean energy and passionate about sustainability, you can shop knowing every purchase helps contribute to a healthier environment and a happier community.
1. Recycled Timber Frames: A present that frames your story

Our handmade frames are the sustainable gift that keeps on giving. Each piece is crafted from reclaimed timber, rescued from old homes, warehouses, and forgotten corners of Melbourne.
Whether it’s a wedding photo, a birthday memory, or a cheeky picture of your dog wearing a Santa hat, a Mulbury frame turns it into something special. They’re eco-conscious, practical, and downright stylish as a gift that any recipient will proudly hang on their gallery wall.
2. Coat Racks and Wall Hooks: The practical green gifts

Got a friend whose keys vanish daily into the abyss? Our coat racks and hooks are your eco-friendly and ethical solution. Made from recycled timber, they’re a practical, thoughtful gift that keeps any hallway looking neat and full of character.
Add a small indoor plant or even a reusable cup on the shelf for a bonus touch of eco flair.
3. Mulbury Gift Boxes: A bundle of joy!

This season, we’ve curated the perfect box of eco-friendly goodness. Each bundle features locally crafted pieces that complement any home from mini frames to handmade décor. It’s our eco gifts take on the classic present, wrapped in minimal, recyclable packaging.
And yes, we’ve made sure it all fits beautifully inside a bag! No plastic container nightmares here.
A few extra sustainable tips for your Christmas gifting
If you’re feeling inspired to go a little greener this festive season, try these quick wins:
- Reuse wrapping paper or wrap your gift in an old newspaper or organic fabric.
- Pop a handwritten card inside: everyone loves a note that feels thoughtfully made.
- Swap out the plastic ribbon for twine or a sprig from your garden.
- Ditch single-use gift wrap entirely. We promise your loved one (and the Earth) will thank you.
Give a gift that gives back
Whether it’s a frame, a cup of coffee with friends, or something from our huge range of ethical gifts, your choices make a difference. Each Mulbury creation is part of a bigger practice of sustainability proving that even small, eco-friendly gifts can have a lasting impact.
So, this Christmas, explore our collection of sustainable Christmas gifts and discover why thoughtful gifting is one of the best ways to give back.
Because a sustainable gift doesn’t just say “I care” — it says “I care about the world we live in.” And that’s something worth framing. 🎁
