I love the idea of giving a hamper to someone for Christmas or milestone event,  find one with filled with beautiful things, sure you can make your own, but I've found even better! 

Bindle is an online Australian eco gift store that blends sustainability with style. With artistic license, 'hampers' are replaced by 'bindles'. Tailored around a specific theme or occasion, Bindle presents gifts for His Lordship, Her Ladyship, mothers, babies, and corporate clients alike. They make an excellent alternative to traditional gift hampers and come complete in hand-crafted Bindle signature gift boxes, which are enclosed in high-quality wrapping paper. The wrapping of each individual bindle is completed using only tying and folding – with no staples or tape to be seen. Because of this, the process of unwrapping a bindle is an experience in itself, and the wrapping is in itself a precious gift!  With shipping available Australia wide, prices start from just $45.
