Christmas gifting is officially underway, and if you’re keen to skip the generic, last-minute shopping chaos (and we vote yes to skipping it), then let us introduce you to your new festive best friend: Raw & Wild Market & Café, Bowral.
If you’ve ever wandered into Raw & Wild, you’ll know the feeling… that happy little gasp when you realise half the store could solve your Christmas list. It’s the perfect blend of deli, wholefoods haven, gourmet treasure trove and “oh wow, I need this too.” And this year, the gifting options? Next level.
If you’re shopping for your health-conscious bestie, the foodie who loves discovering new favourites, that impossible-to-buy-for relative, or you just want your Christmas table to look and taste amazing… Raw & Wild has goodies for absolutely everyone.
Let’s unwrap the festive goodness.
Handwoven Baskets You’ll Want for Yourself
Forget the standard gift bags, Raw & Wild sells real baskets. Beautiful, handwoven, sturdy, stylish-as-anything baskets that instantly elevate your gifting game.
You grab a basket.
You fill it with gorgeous things from the market.
You walk out feeling like the queen of Christmas.
They make the perfect base for personalised hampers, thoughtful, beautiful, practical and very Highlands.
A Store Filled With Festive Goodness
Every shelf at Raw & Wild is packed with something delicious, beautiful or wonderfully practical. You’ll find gluten-free shortbreads and artisan chocolates for the sweet-toothed friend, handmade soaps and natural body scrubs for the self-care lovers, and plenty of wholesome treats for the health-conscious humans in your life.
There are gluten-free Christmas puddings ready to wrap, spiced nuts that disappear far too quickly, eco-friendly drink bottles and food jars for the low-waste crowd, and even pots and pans made without the nasty chemicals.
You’ll also spot their famous in-store chilli oil, local honey, specialty teas, beautifully scented candles, gentle lotions, pantry heroes and all kinds of small-batch goodies that make gifting feel thoughtful and personal. It’s the kind of place where every corner offers another “Ooh, this would be perfect for…” moment, and that’s half the fun of shopping here.
Gifts That Are Actually Useful (and delicious)
The best part about gifting from Raw & Wild? People use the things you give them. A hamper becomes someone’s go-to pantry booster. A bundle of teas and honey becomes their new nightly ritual. A candle or soap becomes a little luxury they enjoy every single day. It’s gifting that feels meaningful and memorable, not something that gets tucked in a drawer and forgotten.
You can go wholesome, indulgent, eco-friendly, gourmet or completely custom. Mix and match and create something that feels very “them.”
And yes… treat yourself too
It’s impossible to walk out without grabbing a little something for yourself, a block of chocolate, a jar of that chilli oil, a new tea to try, or even a quick stop at the café for lunch. Consider it a festive perk.
