Christmas at BLAEK Store is all about giving gifts that people want, need and come with purposeful stories. From thongs and slides made from discarded tyres to 100% certified organic cotton tees made in Sydney, everything we stock has a story worth telling (and worth giving).

Giving a gift from BLAEK Store this Christmas is showing someone that you care enough to seek out quality, and it's a conversation piece that will make them proud to own it and have you in their life.

In short we sell sustainable, ethically made and organic products with stories, and here are our top 5 for her and him this Christmas, in no particular order:

GIFTS FOR HER

1 - Kowtow Direction Jacket - Pale Blue

Our fave denim jacket of the season, the Kowtow Direction Jacket in pale blue is one of our top picks for her. Layer it with the Kowtow High Neck Top in black or white.

2 - Lois Hazel Club Shirt - Sand or Blue

The Lois Hazel Club Shirt in sand or blue. Made by hand in Melbourne and pairs so well with any of our jeans.

The Pt. Nemo Standard Tee in black or white. Everyone wants some solid, basic tees in their wardrobe and you can't really ever have enough! These ones are made right here in Sydney from 100% GOTS Certified organic cotton, are incredible soft and hold their shape. Please the harshest critic, or layer with other items, with a beautiful and versatile cotton tee from Australian brand Pt. Nemo.

4 - Shampoo With A Purpose

Shampoo With A Purpose and Church Farm soap for the win! Shampoo With A Purpose are THE conversation piece in the store. They are shampoo and condition bars in the one product, served up in a cardboard box. Such a good stocking filler, and a subtle introduction to the world of sustainable shopping for your loved. These bars are a product that people try once and never ever look back. We are also gifting basically everyone we know a few bars of beautiful Church Farm soap simply because when they unwrap their gift, it will explode with the incredible, natural scent that can only come from Australia, family made soaps.

5 - Indosole - Thongs, Slides & Cross Styles

Everyone needs some solid, comfortable Summer footwear options and Indosole make theirs from discarded car and scooter tyres, which is a big plus for the planet. The big plus for you and your gift recipient is they last sooooo much longer than the next best on the market, come in a massive range of colours and styles and actually have some decent foot support. We have a huge range at BLAEK Store and Indosole have some a seriously good options this Christmas.

***Come and say hi in store or shop online and remember we are more than happy to offer exchanges and returns the other side of the big day. We would never deny you that right at BLAEK Store. Don't be shy and we'll see you in January if you need help with a new item or would like a refund.

GIFTS FOR HIM

There is a 100% chance of me and so many of our customers wearing a Nudie Jeans Co. Lean Dean on Christmas Day this year. They may already have one in their lineup and need a fresh pair, or they might want a new wash to add in, and we have you covered with NJCO a plenty this Christmas. So out of all the washes (colours) what's our pick? We narrowed it down to 2 which work really well this time of year and they are the Lean Dean - Lost Orange or Ink Navy. The first is great for a casual Christmas by the beach paired with a nice tee or shirt and the other is slightly more formal without being too much for any occasion. It's a Lean Dean Christmas this year and every year! Pick up a size for your partner or friend and we can help you with the chat function (bottom right online) or would love to see you in store to help you.

2 - Pt. Nemo - Premium Tee

Remember the 'nice tee' we mentioned above to pair with a solid bottom half outfit? Look no further than the Pt. Nemo 100% GOTS Certified organic tees made here in Sydney. They are a perfect plain tee with beautiful hand feel and a few very subtle but very unique details and fit great. A Nudie Jean and a Pt. Nemo Premium Tee is THE outfit for the holiday period.

3 - Patagonia P6 Tee - Surfboard Yellow

> 

What about a pop of Summer colour this Summer? What's your fave Summer colour for him? Ours has to be 'surfboard yellow' by Patagonia. The famous P6 Tee has been reimagined in this perfect Summer yellow and we made sure we have plenty in stock this Christmas. The P6 tees popularity is obvious on the streets but this colour is very unique so if you know someone who is a Patagonia fan then this is guaranteed to be a hit. Give it a go!

4 - ASUVI Natural Deodorants

ASUVI deodorants are a great gift for him (or her) and a way of saying not only I love you but I love your arm pits and I care about what you rub into them daily. ASUVI is 100% natural, born in Freshwater just down the road, made in Sydney and great for our health and our planet. Buy a 100% recycled plastic dispenser and make sure you tell the recipient that they can buy recycled cardboard refills at BLAEK Store thereafter! They will love the story behind ASUVI and once they start using it they will love how well it works. Such a great add-on gift, stocking filler or Kris Kringle.

5 - Indosole - Thongs & Slides

These just had to make the mens list also. Thongs and slides made from discarded car and scooter tyres that save the world, and also save your feet from hot sand, pavement and those pesky 'blow outs' we have come to expect from thongs for some reason. Indosoles last, can be dressed up or down, are very comfortable and supporting and we have them in a bunch of different colours ands styles. Our picks for him? You can't go past the Essential Thongs - Black or if he is a slide type of guy then what about the Essential Slides - Granite? These will be a hit with him and he won't take them off until around the end of April when things cool down, and even then he will only take them off to put socks on and then put them back on. Slides and socks are in!
