In 2026 more buyers will look for gifts that express meaning rather than simply fill a need. This means gifts that tell a story, support local makers, and reflect the values of the recipient. Consumers and corporate buyers alike want gifts that reflect care, connection, and intention.
Support for Australian-made products continues to grow. Buyers are choosing locally produced items that support regional economies and small businesses. Australian-made gifts also offer a unique sense of place and identity. This trend is particularly strong among buyers who want to give something meaningful that also supports the local community.
Customisation remains a key trend in 2026. Gifts that can be tailored to the recipient are more memorable and personal. This includes personalised messages, curated product combinations, and packaging that reflects the occasion. In both corporate and personal gifting, customisation adds an extra layer of thoughtfulness.
Wellness gifting continues to rise in popularity. People are gifting wellbeing experiences, products that support relaxation, and items that encourage healthy routines. These gifts reflect a wider focus on holistic care and emotional wellbeing. Wellness gifts are popular in corporate gifting as a way to show appreciation for staff into 2026.
Sustainability will continue to influence buying decisions. Gifts that use sustainable materials, ethical production practices, and environmentally friendly packaging are becoming standard expectations. Buyers are more likely to choose items that align with their environmental values.
Experience-led gifts that create memories rather than just provide objects are gaining traction. This trend includes food experiences, workshops, events, and curated gift sets that offer a sense of exploration and delight. People want gifts that create moments, not just things.
Products with a compelling story behind them will stand out in 2026. Buyers want to know who made the item, where it came from, and why it matters. This trend aligns with greater interest in provenance and purpose in gifting.
Corporate gifting continues to blend with personal gifting. Buyers are choosing gifts that can work across both contexts, such as high quality food hampers, wellness packages, and lifestyle items. This trend makes it easier for organisations to create gifts that feel personal and professional.
