About Us
Hi, I’m Jane. I live in Brisbane, Australia with my husband, Jeremy, our son, Harry and our dog, Leila. Thank you for visiting my Gift Shop, I know you’re going to love all the gifts I’ve selected for you. Not only are they all gorgeous, but each one is sustainably and ethically made and is supporting the talented artisans, small businesses and social enterprises I source the products from. Also, please have a look at The Fig Tree Children website and see who your purchase will also be helping. A combination of loving the products and wanting to raise funds to help The Fig Tree Children after they leave school is my inspiration for this social enterprise. Our Story.
Have fun 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.
Here you can see some of the young people we’re supporting:

🌟 Meet Liam Foldi, the inspiring force behind Kenshi Candles! 🌟
At just 12 years old, Liam developed a passion for reading, but it was a school trip to FareShare at 14 that truly ignited his mission to combat hunger in Australia. From hand-pouring candles in his bedroom to partnering with the Chin refugee community in Melbourne, Liam’s journey is a testament to the power of determination and community.
Today, Kenshi Candles isn’t just a product; it’s a movement. By buying these candles and diffusers, thousands are fed. Together with his father Michael, Liam’s vision to eradicate hunger in Australia continues to shine brightly.
Join us in supporting this incredible cause and let Liam’s story light up your heart and home! 🕯️❤️
