Emma’s Gift Guide

HOLY SMOKE Eco INCENSE

There’s something special about burning incense. I use it everyday. It never fails to remind me of the sacred.

Holy Smoke Eco Incense, created by a mother-daughter duo in south east Australia, partners with Indian artisans to handcraft incense using only natural ingredients – pure essential oils, herbs, and resins, with no synthetic fragrances or fillers. Each stick honouring centuries-old techniques while supporting fair trade practices. It’s incense that feels as good ethically as it smells.

Favourites include: Simplicity, Prayer, Love & Gratitude.

TRIBE EARTH INCENSE

Tribe Earth is another brand of incense I love and use daily.

This is incense in its purest form – entirely plant-based, with no glues, binders, or synthetic additives.

Drawing on the innate wisdom of plants while honouring the traditions of First Nations stewards who have long protected and understood these plant teachers. It’s a bridge between ancient knowledge and conscious modern living.

Favourites include: Vedic, River & Peaceful Warrior

Nippon Kodo Mainichi KOH Sandalwood Incense Sticks

Living in an apartment has led me to start exploring Japanese incense – minimal smoke means I can burn it daily without setting off alarms or opening windows and doors. After trying several brands, Nippon Kodo’s Mainichi KOH Sandalwood is my clear favourite. The sandalwood is beautifully balanced – warm and grounding without being heavy, perfect for smaller spaces.

If you have any Japanese incense favourites, please let me know in the comments below.

THRIVE TALLOW

I’m obsessed with this product, although it’s obviously not for vegetarians or vegan friends! It smells like you’re smearing lemon meringue pie on your face. I’ve also noticed an improvement in my skin since using this product.

Favourites include: Original Tallow Balm (still working my way through the range).

The lovely people at Thrive Tallow have offered my community a 20% discount.

Simply use the discount code: Emma20 at checkout.

YOGA MUDRA ORACLE DECK

Call me biased, but I feel this deck is a special gift for yoga-loving family and friends.

Each card offers a simple hand posture that helps you embody and deepen the oracle’s message – turning insight into physical practice. It’s a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern spiritual exploration.

I’ve been exploring Hanako Therapies for years, and my husband Steve has made it a tradition to gift me something from their range every birthday and Christmas.

Everything is exquisite – I honestly have too many favourites to choose just one.

I adore Yogi Peace Club’s mats and clothes. Truly the best yoga mat I’ve ever owned.

For over 11 years, they’ve been crafting yoga mats for practitioners worldwide, renowned for their non-slip surface and eco-conscious design.

ELIZABETH GILBERT – All the Way to the River

I adore Elizabeth Gilbert’s book Big Magic, and I was lucky enough to see her in person this year at a weekend creativity workshop. She’s such a unique and fascinating person with truly exceptional outlooks on life.

Naturally, her new book is on my Christmas wishlist – I think it’ll make perfect holiday reading. It’s been described as “a landmark memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever been captive to love—or to any other passion, substance or craving—and who yearns, at long last, for liberation.”

If you’ve ever loved her work or are drawn to honest, soulful writing about the human experience, this is one to gift (or keep for yourself).

AVOCADO ZINC NATURAL TINTED SUNSCREEN

I’ve been using Avocado Zinc for years now and absolutely love it. As someone who only uses natural sunscreens, this one ticks every box – it’s incredibly hydrating, goes on smoothly – without a white sheen, and actually protects without the harsh chemicals found in conventional formulas.

Made with nourishing ingredients like avocado oil and zinc oxide, it feels more like skincare than sunscreen. No weird smell, no sticky residue, just clean, effective sun protection that leaves your skin feeling soft. It’s become a daily essential.

I use the tinted version in ‘light’.

DAUGHTERS OF INDIA

I have three dresses from Daughters of India and they’re beautifully versatile. This Australian small business creates slow fashion that empowers women in India, using hand block-printed cotton fabrics.

Each piece is ethically made and utterly unique. Sign up to their newsletter to stay updated on new collections and special offers. These pieces sell out quickly, and for good reason.

I have three dresses and hope to add more to my collection in time: Kyra Mini Dress ~ Lilac / Kyra Midi Dress in Fuchsia Bloom & Caramel.
