Beat’s Xmas Gift Guide: Get yourself sorted this Chrissy with this sweet list of pressie ideas

2020 has almost come to an end and if one thing’s for sure, it’s that we all deserve a pat on the back just for making it through the seemingly eternal past 12 months.

As we emerge from lockdown straight into the silly season, joy is well and truly in the air knowing that we can spend the holidays with loved ones and enjoy simple pleasures together over summer.

Christmas is just around the corner and while the pandemic may have you feeling a little disorganised as we barrel towards December 25, there’s still plenty of time to sort out your Christmas shopping and you won’t even have to step foot inside a shopping centre!

This year has highlighted is the importance of supporting local businesses and with that in mind, we’ve rounded up a bunch of stellar Australian makers, venues, stores and more to look to for your gifting needs this giving season.

From gift vouchers for some of Melbourne’s most revered live music venues to vinyl, locally-made booze and much more, our Xmas Gift Guide has got you well and truly covered for thoughtful gift options that give back to the local community after an incredibly tough year.

Happy shopping!
