The Fig Tree Gift Shop

Beautiful, ethically made gifts with heart.

We donate 50% of profits to The Fig Tree Children, supporting orphaned and vulnerable kids in Sierra Leone. At the same time, we also help social enterprises, small businesses, and artisans thrive.

Hi, I’m Jane, welcome to my Gift Shop!

I live in Brisbane, Australia, with my husband Jeremy and our sweet dog, Leila. Our son, Harry, recently left home to begin an exciting new chapter overseas, and with a little more space in the house (and heart), I’ve been pouring even more love into curating this shop.

Everything you’ll find here is handpicked with care, not only are the products beautiful, they’re ethically made and sustainably sourced from talented artisans, small businesses and social enterprises around the world.

Even more special! 50% of profits go to The Fig Tree Children, a charity I started to support orphaned and vulnerable young people in Sierra Leone. Your purchase doesn’t just delight someone here; it helps build a brighter future for someone there.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy browsing as much as I’ve enjoyed bringing this together. Our Story.

Happy shopping!

Who your purchase is supporting

We donate 50% of our profits to The Fig Tree Children.

The Fig Tree Children are currently supporting 85 orphaned and vulnerable children and youths in Sierra Leone. Through a sponsorship scheme, they are paying school or tertiary education fees and provide school materials every year. They also support the children’s carers by paying them an allowance every month to help care for the child. They now have the challenge of helping the children after leaving school realise their dreams and become self-sufficient in a country where 60% of youths are unemployed.

The Fig Tree Gift Shop is another way we are raising funds for their cause.

So far we have donated $9,465.
