Caroline Clements’ Gift Guide
AHL's Australia Editor shares her list inspired by a few key things: the new taste of freedom after coming out of months of lockdown, the smell of summer in the air down under, and the feeling of supporting local makers and producers
AHL's Australia Editor and author of Places We Swim, Caroline Clements
This year has given us a few things – a lot more time for cooking, listening, reading, watching and being at home. Making our spaces more comfortable and more livable, we’ve spent our travel money on books and homewares, artworks and food. Here are a few of those things. They’re great as gifts for others, or for ourselves.
