Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him

KeepCup

Does your beau love a good coffee or tea? More and more Australians are jumping on board the reuse wagon and we think a KeepCup is a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift for the eco-conscious coffee fanatic. Grab him an elegant glass KeepCup that he can proudly take to the cafe each time he needs a little caffeine hit. These come in a variety of different colours to suit everyone’s personal style.

Oiled Reclaimed Timber Frame

Print off a photo of a romantic moment, or a travel snap of your favourite holiday destination and pop it in a beautiful oiled timber frame. Our collection is handmade in Melbourne from reclaimed fence pailings and are available in a bunch of different sizes, washes and stains. We love the simplicity of the oiled timber. The polished look lets the reclaimed material really shine and pop against a wall.

The perfect everyday bag for cyclists, the Alchemy Goods Dravus Messenger is made from reclaimed inner bike tubes and seatbelts! It’s super durable and tough but is also incredibly lightweight, making it ideal for anyone who commutes on two wheels to work, school or uni. We love how cleverly designed this bag is, with tonnes of zippered pockets for excellent organisation and also a reflective strip for ultimate road visibility.
