Post-friendly gift ideas — flat-pack gifts that ship easily

Gifts designed to ship flat and post easily — for sending to friends and family across Australia or overseas. Lightweight, low-bulk, and protective-packaging-ready.

What ships well by post

Greeting cards (obviously), tea towels (lightweight, fold flat), small art prints (flat-pack in rigid mailers), small ceramic items (with bubble wrap), illustrated soap bars (small and durable), pocket books, and fridge magnets. The full greeting cards, tea towels, and art prints ranges are post-friendly by default.

Sending gifts overseas

For international shipping, weight and dimensions matter most. Koala greeting cards and koala tea towels are the most-shipped overseas — recognisably Australian and flat-pack. Avoid bulky homewares (mugs, bowls, large ceramics) for international post.

Birthday and Christmas use cases

Post-friendly gifts solve the ""I forgot to send a card on time"" problem. Order before midday Sydney time and most cards and small gifts ship same-day. For Christmas, order at least one week before December 1 for capital cities and two weeks for regional postcodes.

Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $60.
