Makeamixa Digital Mixtape
Who could forget hours spent planning, designing and dubbing your favourite songs onto a mixtape for a boyfriend/girlfriend or a long roadtrip? Makeamixa takes all that’s good about the mixtape tradition (the blank cassette exterior, the cool custom designed sleeve) and throws in some technology with a USB stick (much more time efficient). Super easy to create, just choose the colour of the cassette shell, design your ’sleeve’ (or pick one of their templates), purchase, wait for it arrive then fill it up with tunes and pictures via the USB.
The perfect gift for: The cool kid or muso-geek.
RRP: GBD $19.99

Peony Laptop Decal

The perfect gift for: The office girl who does a lot of presentations.
