Gift Me Again’s ethical practices include handmade production in Howlong, NSW, Australia, with no offshore mass manufacturing and small-scale, accountable production with full oversight. The brand provides transparent material disclosure, specifying 100% cotton outer fabrics and recycled cotton cords. Australian suppliers are prioritised where possible, including collaboration with Australian surface print designers.
Gift Me Again designs products to replace single-use gift wrap for years, using 100% cotton fabric with reinforced features for long-term durability and repeated reuse. The brand donates fabric offcuts to local schools for creative reuse and sends larger textile waste to the Upparel textile recycling program. Packaging prioritises donated second-hand boxes and mailers and studio operations are paperless with digital order management and thermal printing to minimise ink and paper use.
Gift Me Again manufactures locally in Howlong, NSW, supporting regional employment and economic participation. The brand donates fabric offcuts to local primary school and preschool for creative and educational use and supports the Upparel recycling program by sharing its own recycling habits. It uses its platform to provide practical sustainability education to its audience and maintains transparent communication about materials, sourcing and product composition.

Product Reviews by Experts


This is such a practical and elevated alternative to single-use wrapping. I love that it still feels gift-worthy and special, while making the low-waste option easy for busy households. The inclusion of the words “Gift Me Again” on the product tag is great too because it encourages the receiver to re-use the bags. The local handmade production in rural NSW, transparent material disclosure and small-batch model are strong ethical positives. The sustainability statement is particularly credible because it addresses offcuts, reused packaging, textile recycling and product longevity.


The fabric is incredibly soft and the patterns are gorgeous. It’s the exact type of bag that makes a gift feel even more special; I love it. The bag is very obviously made to a high quality and the design of the bag opening out to a boxed base is very clever.


What stood out immediately was the quality and thoughtfulness of the design. The branding feels cohesive and considered, and the product itself is beautifully made, with details such as the reinforced, double-lined opening giving it a premium feel and suggesting it will withstand repeated use over many years. I could easily see it becoming a versatile household item beyond gift giving alone. Its durability and attractive design mean it could also be repurposed for storing spare clothing, organising children’s items or a range of other practical uses, extending its usefulness well beyond its original purpose. I was particularly impressed by the brand’s commitment to local Australian manufacturing and its focus on longevity as a sustainability strategy. Rather than simply creating a reusable alternative, the product has clearly been designed to withstand years of circulation and repeated use. The use of natural fibres, recycled cotton drawstrings, responsible management of textile waste and support of local suppliers demonstrates a thoughtful approach to reducing environmental impact at every stage of production. As a small rural business, the level of transparency around materials, sourcing and manufacturing is especially commendable.
