It’s getting hot! Although I’m sure you’re well aware of this thanks to your annual yuletide commitment. I imagine by the time you reach the Federated States of Micronesia you have stripped down to a modest singlet and shorts ready for your Down Under drop-off. With that in mind, I’ve opted for a more practical…
There is always someone who is impossible to buy for. Oxfam Unwrapped has one solution – buy them a pile of poo. Or maybe a buffalo, some fruit trees, a canoe or even a rice bank; there is something for every price range, and the best part is: your donation goes to those in need,…
There are plenty of summertime trends we here at Peppermint love to get behind, but sweaty and flustered is not one of them! We think summer’s must-have frock (and the solution to your perspiration problems!) is this lovely halter neck number from Eco Peko. The limited edition organic cotton dress is dyed with natural plant…
Summer is my favourite time of year: hot weather, holidays, and lots of catch-ups with friends and family. This year I’m fortunate enough to live in a house with a nice big deck so my Christmas wishlist pretty much revolves around sprucing up my deck and making it a lovely outdoor space to live in…
I’m sorry, but these are just too sweet not to share. Handmade by SquinkStudio in Sydney, this range of jumbo teacup candles are created from a natural (and naturally-scented) soy wax that, when melted, can be used as a massage oil or moisturiser! Delish. And, even better, once the candle has burned out you can…
This year’s been a big one for me: I’ve finished uni, started my first job and I’ve moved out of home. Yep, I’ve turned into a responsible adult, so I think some sensible presents to help me prepare for the new year might be apt. I’d like to eat more healthy foods, and I think this…

Did someone say those three magic words: pre-loved, designer and charity? Because these five handmade necklaces made from recycled materials and being auctioned off for the Vinnies ‘Think Outside The Jewellery Box’ promotion tick all the right boxes. College of Fine Arts student Sophia Davison has created an impressive collection to highlight the beauty found in…
Ground control to Major Tom – because this new Melbourne-based online vintage store is offering all Peppermint readers 20% off right up until Christmas! All you need to do is enter the word ‘Peppermint’ into the coupon section at checkout. Commencing countdown…
Remember when I was eight, you got me a bike. It was spray painted white with pink rims and it had my name in stickers on the side. Well, I grew out of it, but I have found an appropriate successor: an Electra Limited Edition Amsterdam bike. All you need to do is add a…
If you are like me and are getting a little tired (read: jealous) of our English and American friends boasting of their upcoming white Christmases, then it’s time to show them what we Aussies can do… Yep, there’s no heat or rain or humidity too great to stop us making all the Christmas wreaths out…
Melbourne-based fashion label Cylk recently got home from Mexico where they were nominated to represent Australia at the 27th International Apparel Convention. Luckily they didn’t return empty handed and now hold claim as the first Australians to win the coveted ‘Best Way of Working With Fabric’ award. Established as a pioneer and innovator of seamless knitting…
