Our First Box

In 2013, Australia’s Governor-General, Dame Quentin Bryce, commissioned the very first "Little Kisses" gift box.

With a new royal baby on the way, Dame Quentin visited our Brisbane store and asked what Australian items might be included. At the top of the list was a book, and the choice was clear: the much-loved Australian classic Possum Magic by Mem Fox. For a snuggly companion, it had to be a Flatout sheepskin bear, which looked perfect alongside a soft, Australian-made Branberry blanket. For dress, a romper and bib set featuring Australian flora and fauna was specially created by Brisbane label Tickled Pink.

The prototype red box arrived just in time, wrapped in silver foil with a red grosgrain ribbon for that extra special touch. Dame Quentin was kind enough to let us know, the gift was a hit, and the new parents were thrilled, eager to share Possum Magic with the little Prince.

So thanks Quentin inspiring us to create the first hamper!
