LG 5 Garment TrueSteam Styler with Built-in HandySteamer

In partnership with LG

Price: AUD3,499

The LG 5 Garment TrueSteam Styler is the perfect gift for the man who always wants to look his freshest but often finds himself short on time. Now, he won’t have to take out his ironing board whenever he wants to put on a crisp shirt or a nice pair of trousers. Instead, he can take advantage of this appliance’s wide range of innovative tools designed to help him always look his best.

First, this clothes Styler’s DUAL TrueSteam functionality helps to refresh a variety of garments and fabric types by reducing odours and wrinkles. That means it can be used either to extend an item’s wearability between washes or to reduce the ironing burden after each laundry load.

Second, the EZ Fit PantsPress will have him looking the business from the waist down, as it helps to relieve trousers’ wrinkle-prone areas and even sharpens pleats for a more sophisticated look.

Third, the LG 5 Garment TrueSteam Styler features the built-in HandySteamer, a high-pressure, handheld steam gun that makes it easier to target stubborn wrinkles and creases in a hurry.

Fourth, the Dynamic MovingHanger feature helps to remove fine dust from clothes with six unique dynamic motions: shaking, waving, spreading, swaying, blowing, and arranging.

And finally, the AutoFresh System delivers automatic air circulation and indoor dehumidification to help reduce moisture in the surrounding air, maintaining a fresh and comfortable environment. With capacity for five items plus an additional pair of pants, it’s a game-changer and a massive time-saver for the well-dressed gent.

This conveys Porsche’s spirit of speed and precision, which is exactly how any serious coffee lover wants to receive their beverage. With a 1.7L volume, it’s also perfect for a solo cup of tea or group gatherings.

Boasting a soft-close lid and a cordless swivel base with non-slip feet, as well as an enamelled stainless-steel surface to ensure excellent heat conduction, this kettle collab has everything a stylish caffeine lover could want.

FIFA World Cup 26 Trionda Pro Ball

Price: AUD$240

The FIFA World Cup may be over, but that doesn’t make adidas’ tournament ball any less of a must-have for the football fanatic in your life.

It’s also the most stylish, thanks to the vibrant colours and bold national symbols that represent the 2026 tournament’s three host countries: Canada, Mexico, and the USA.

While Australia’s Socceroos exited the competition too early, this ball is still a perfect gift for fans here and around the world. ¡Viva España!

LARK’s Dark Lark No.166 Special Edition

Price: AUD$150

A unique gift for the truest of whisky lovers, this special release from one of Australia’s most esteemed distilleries is a celebration of Tasmania after dark, which the LARK folk describe as “a place where shadows awaken creativity.” It certainly seems to have done so in this case.

Each dram opens with delicate lemon shortbread and wild strawberry on the nose, before the aromas unfold to reveal blackcurrant jam and orchid blossom. On the palate, notes of berry custard and espresso gelato deepen into dark chocolate-covered cherries and sticky figs. Finally, a lingering warmth of peach crumble and almond meringue gives way to toasted marzipan and soft honey.

Moreish and silken, this very special release from Tasmania’s finest will make an unforgettable gift for even the most picky of whisky enthusiasts.

Things to Consider for Unique Gift Ideas

When it comes to unique gift ideas, simply wrapping a bow on a bottle of whisky isn’t quite enough. In fact, if you want to get the special occasion right, there are a few things you need to consider:

• Price: Perhaps the most obvious consideration, the price will inevitably play a factor in your purchasing decision. While you may want to splash out for a significant birthday or gifting event, more often than not, you’ll be aiming around the $50-$100 mark. To get the most out of your unique gift idea, don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price.
• Risk: Trying to buy a unique and different gift idea is not always the most straightforward predicament. When you stray from the path and pick up something a little out of the ordinary, you run the risk of missing the mark.
