Respectfully Melbourne
Respectfully Melbourne is a boutique gifting business that curates thoughtful, design-led gift hampers featuring ethically and sustainably made products from local Victorian artisans and producers.
Founded by Sarah, a Melbourne local and mum of three, Respectfully Melbourne was created in response to a growing need for gifts that not only look beautiful but are made with genuine care for people and the planet. In a market flooded with impersonal, mass-produced hampers, Respectfully Melbourne offers a considered and conscious alternative — one that supports small businesses, values craftsmanship, and honours the thought behind the gift.
Each hamper is carefully curated to suit a range of occasions — from birthdays, celebrations, and milestones to wellness, care, and corporate gifting. Every product is sourced directly from passionate Victorian makers who are committed to quality, sustainability, and ethical production. From naturopathic teas and bean-to-bar chocolate to skincare made with pure botanicals and sugarcane-based water bottles, each item is selected with purpose.
What sets Respectfully Melbourne apart is not only the product selection but also the presentation. Sarah designs each box with a refined, elegant aesthetic — featuring eco-conscious packaging, minimal waste, and seasonal touches like exclusive prints from local artists. The result is a gift that feels truly special, both inside and out.
Respectfully Melbourne’s curated hamper collections include:
Celebrate: Gift boxes designed to mark birthdays, new homes, job promotions, and milestones, often including fine Victorian wines, small-batch snacks, and handcrafted chocolate.
Wellness & Care: Gentle, nourishing products to comfort and support during challenging times, featuring natural body care, soothing teas, and aromatherapy essentials.
New Baby & Parent: Thoughtful gifts for growing families that support both baby and parents, including blankets and swaddles made from natural fibres, baby bath and body products, and keepsakes from local makers.
Corporate & Custom Gifting: Businesses looking to align with ethical, local values can work directly with Sarah to create custom hampers featuring branding options and tailored product selections. Ideal for client gifts, team appreciation, and events.
Sustainability is at the heart of every decision — from product sourcing to packaging design. Most gift items are vegan-friendly, and all are made without harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances. Every element of the gift packaging — including the box, tissue, and stickers — is made from recycled or plant-based materials and is 100% recyclable or compostable.
Respectfully Melbourne believes in gifting with intention — that a gift should not only delight, but also reflect a deeper respect for the person receiving it, the maker behind it, and the environment that supports it. Whether you’re celebrating someone special or sending a moment of care, every Respectfully Melbourne gift honours that connection.
You can browse the curated collections online or build your own custom hamper through the “Create Your Own” section. With flexible delivery across Australia — including Same Day Delivery within Melbourne metropolitan areas — it’s easy to send something meaningful, even from afar.
With a growing reputation for elegance, integrity, and local support, Respectfully Melbourne is proud to be part of the vibrant small business community in Victoria. Whether you’re a local shopper looking for something beautiful and personal, or a business looking to gift consciously and professionally, Sarah would love to help you find just the right thing.
Every Respectfully Melbourne gift is made with purpose — supporting local makers, prioritising sustainable practices, and delivering moments of joy with heart, care, and respect.
