The festive season is almost upon us. Time to start thinking about teacher gifts. What better gift to give than a piece of iconic Australiana; a May Gibbs collectible.
The legacy of May Gibbs; one of Australia’s most talented illustrators, artists and authors, lives on in the most beautiful Snugglepot and Cuddlepie keepsakes. Here are some of the best May Gibbs pieces you can buy as teacher gifts in 2018.
