Tea parties always lift our mood even in the winter time outside! We love drinking up a pretend almond chai or a skinny mocha latte YUMM. This classic tea set is designed to sit loud and proud on your coffee table next to your designer coffee table books. It's stylish just like your little Barista in the making, and not pink or blue making it gender neutral. And of course, a good host should always serve their guest first. Manners are important these days, “how many sugars would you like Charlotte?”. We also have designed a beautiful cardboard box to pack your tea set away in afterwards, incase like us, you prefer to keep things neat and tidy.

Whatever they’re into, your little ones will have hours of fun ahead of then with our iconic wooden Aussie Mini Vehicles set. Enjoy some simple daydreams about rolling down to the beach in a Aussie Ute to check the waves. Meanwhile your little ones can pretend to get somewhere quick to save the day with one of their emergency Aussie Vehicles! Was the Aussie Firetruck going to save the day or was it the Aussie Police Car?

Wait what? Christmas already? We know it feels super early to be thinking about your Christmas shopping OMG. But sometimes when family and friends don’t live close by - we have to get in super early to send their special gifts overseas. Now is a great time to get this part of your shopping out of the way, and crossed off your list early!

This week we've had a chat to the lovely Bec from @ocean_daze. Her images are just divine and we know you will love her as much as we do. As part of giving back to the community we really love to support other up-and-coming businesses and the people behind them who juggle work, life and parenting. We know just how hard it can be! Sharing the work of inspiring brands and building each other up is so important to us. Check out Bec's work in our Blog

When you have little ones at home, one of the best things about winter's arrival is the outdoor play without worrying as much about sunburnt skin and overheated toddlers! We say embrace the cooler, cosier weather and set up for a day of play outside, in nature. With your collective imagination, a few props and their favourite toys, you can create hours of play with your kids, creating memories and family traditions you'll all cherish.Take inspiration from this beautiful play set up, and share your play creations with us!

Even before the pandemic, it was hard work to be a parent. And now, as parents we might be pulling our hair out with the extra stress of trying to a be a teacher now too. Being a parent is hard work – meaningful, rewarding, wouldn’t-trade-it-for-the-world – but hard work even more so now.. So take care of yourself and keep your cup full.  If you don’t do things to keep your cup full, you have nothing left to give or share with others.

I have put together some ways we try to manage our stress and anxiety daily during Covid-19. These are just some small things we can try help ourselves and our families as we navigate our way through this. Taking care of our mental health is something that I personally have been working on in the last few years and now seems needed more than ever. On an airplane, we’re instructed to put on our own oxygen masks first, before helping a child do the same.  If you think that’s a crazy idea, realize that you’re not much help to anyone if you’ve passed out due to lack of oxygen because you tried to help everyone else first.

Put your oxygen mask on first and please stay safe.

Mum's & Carers love knowing that they are cherished and appreciated. As we spend a different kind of Mothers Day at home this year it's nice to reflect a little bit and take a slow pace to life.

We draw inspiration from the beloved quickness of our cities, and from the unsung icons of Aussie Life. One thing is for certain: at Make Me Iconic, we love this beautiful country that we get to call ‘home'. As time goes on, and as we face challenges together — such as the devastation of the current bushfire crisis  — we find ourselves appreciating our country’s natural beauty and rich cultural history even more. 

A blank canvas rental is injected with colour and character to become a stylish family home. After 10 years of living a fast-paced life in London, the lure of a more laidback beach lifestyle brought Australian-born Natasha Skunca and her family - Canadian husband Karl and their two young boys, Kasper and Kristof - back to her home city of Melbourne.
