We’ve all seen those memes, right?

“When you buy from a small business, someone does a happy dance”.

It’s actually true!  

So, why not vote for a better world with your dollars this holiday season and buy from a small creative Australian-based business.

We’ve gone and gathered up a bunch of items made by friends of Make Good Things Happen, including people we’ve worked with in 2022 and our lovely members to help you along in your gift giving endeavours.

Here is the MGTH 2022 Holiday Gift Guide! From decorations to ceramics, art to candles, stocking stuffers and so much more, there’s something for all ages, tastes and styles to be found.

*Some items are a little over $50, ’cause sometimes you want to spend a little more.

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday season from Make Good Things Happen!
