Or, similarly, the craft markets that are around the place, and more frequent leading up to Christmas.

I like the idea of supporting individuals or very small businesses, and supporting creativity.

I can suggest some nice markets, OP, if you're in Melb.

I'm in Sydney unfortunatly, but thats a good idea, I'm sure we have some sort of decent markety things that haven't gone TOO commerical.

Wow, didn't know it existed. That looks awesome, thank you.

You can try Lush, all the stuff are made in Sydney.

Even though you already said it, I just have to express my excitement that an Oxfam store just opened right near me!!!
I'm buying all my Christmas presents there!!!

Oh and the Body Shop are a non-testing company right?
And Lush, I believe, are too.

that has a lot of gift ideas there although you'd have to edit for fair-trade/aussie made/ veganness etc. I'm sure you could find a bunch of stuff.

I have bought from them and found the service really good. I purchased a rubber yoga mat and its freakin awesome. Acutally it was my christmas present to myself last year. =)
