Flowers die. Plants require a certain level of maintenance to not die. And sweets are temporary. If you're looking for a longer-lasting and pun-tastic way to let someone know you think they're great, or 'egg-cellent', these statement earrings could be the way to go. These handmade resin pieces come served sunny side up from Brunswick West born funky jewellery crew FunkyFunYou. For more designs that are just unique enough to match the energy of the bold statement human in your life, featuring pressed flowers and tiny people figurines floating in epoxy, check out the collection here. If statement earrings are your jam, also check out the collection from Sydney's upcycled funksters Maraca.

Know somebody whose hair has been going through it? Well get them a jar of this rich, buttery formulation to slap on their scalp and work through their ends. Whether they've been going a little hard with the bleach in lockdown or just missing their faithful hairdresser, this stuff will help whatever follies their follicles have dealt with. The Nourishing Hair Masque comes from Parkes-based boutique hair care brand Hello Islie. The vegan-friendly formula encourages thicker and fuller hair, revives dry and brittle ends, and reduces further hair loss and breakage. Check out more options here, including scrunchie combo packs.

Buy one of these adorable little terrarium kits for a friend and you might find yourself green with envy over their new mossy little pal. These DIY domes come from creative family business Two Fish & me, based in Turramurra South. What sets these apart from the other open-top DIY terrariums on the market is that you don't even have to water them, ever. The organic component is a variety of preserved mosses. After you assemble your tiny garden landscape, just pop it somewhere out of direct sunlight, indoors with plenty of humidity, and it will do its thing. Check out the full range of moss terrariums, ranging from $29 to $73.50, here.

Now here is a gift for all the book hounds, dog people, sausage dog tragics and leather lovers in your life. This hand-stitched, vegetable-tanned kangaroo leather bookmark was handmade in Sydney by Yarrawarrah-based leatherworker The Local Craftsman. This handsome dachshund comes with or without a strapping red leather bowtie, just in case the person you're buying for would rather not have that added three millimetres of thickness on their page holder. You can check out more handmade leather goods from the same maker here.

Do you know someone whose space is just crying out for the beachy, boho vibes of a macrame statement piece? Western Australian-based biz Lorna & Lila Macrame has you covered for those. All of their pieces are handmade from Australian and recycled natural cotton. At $85, the 'Lila' Wall Hanger is about 60 centimetres wide and hangs down about 60-65 centimetres. You'll find wall hangers and pot plant hangers in varying sizes and shades (including dusty pink) ranging from $50 to $265 here.

If you're after a gift for the discerning ocean lover or fan of Sydney's coastline, check out the collection from Sydney-based photographer Sarah Silverton. Her evocative captures of the sand and swell around Bondi, Tamarama and Mackenzie’s Bay have been transferred onto dreamy sarongs, scarves and home furnishings. This 100 per cent linen tonal cushion cover fits a 50cm by 50cm cushion. You just know that this design would delight any statement cushion lover, and grind the gears of their partner who finds all cushions excessive and unnecessary. Fun! But if you'd rather not get into all of that, play it safe one of Silverton's tea towels ($35). Peruse the range here.
