LotusMagic in Bowral is a special spot to find gifts that bring a little comfort and warmth to everyone. They are truly filled with gifts from the heart!
This shop was established by Sharon McDuff, a local psychotherapist and writer with over 30 years of experience working with children, families, and people with disabilities. She started the shop to give back, not only to the everyday person, but to grassroots children’s charities also.
Sharon has designed an amazing selection of toys and written books to accompany them. They’re not only awesome in their own right, they also have added benefits.
They help instil empowerment, connection and resilience in a world where these things are dissipating. Ready to be there through the good and bad times. It’s their job to bring a smile to your face.
And if that’s not awesome enough, $5 from every Lotus toy sold supports BackTrack Youth Works and Destiny Rescue. Keeping kids alive and on the right track! How awesome is that?
The toys are super soft with silky coats that feel so nice to the touch. They’ve got a friendly, welcoming look, and they’re squishy and perfect for cuddling. Always up for a hug, these toys are all about bringing connection to your world and helping you feel confident and at peace.
Filled with personality they are made with care and attention to detail, which makes them extra special.
From Bumble the Blue-banded Bee with glasses, who was inspired by the Australian native bees on Sharon’s property in Bowral, to the hyperactive wolf cub or Nia, the happiest grey bunny you’ll ever meet. Then there is Sudhira the lioness and Mango, the black labrador who is a local Bowral boy too! All their stories unfold in different ways to empower, connect and build resilience.
These toys are great for anyone going through tough times, for people with sensory sensitivities, people who have lost loved ones and even for folks with dementia. But honestly, we think they’d make an awesome gift for anyone, no matter their age or needs.
Along with these wonderful toys, LotusMagic also has a great selection of Jim Shore and Romero Britto’s Disney figurines as well as Matt Buckley’s evocative sculptures, homewares, gift items, skincare, fashion, and more.
There’s really something for everyone on your shopping list.
Everything in the store reflects Sharon’s journey as a mother, teacher, and healer. It’s a place where every item is chosen with love and care. Whether you’re treating yourself or looking for something special for someone else, LotusMagic is a fab place to find meaningful, thoughtful gifts.
