Jamala Wildlife Lodge Jungle Bungalow
Treat your parents to the overnight stay of a lifetime at award-winning Jamala Wildlife Lodge in a Jungle Bungalow. One of 5 luxury suites (there are also Giraffe Treehouses, uShaka Lodge, Lemur Rooms, Shark Grand Suite, Merkat Room, Merkat Suite, Wild Encounter Room and Reef Room), the large glass viewing wall is all that separates you from a pride of lions, a cheetah, tigers or a pair of Malayan sun bears! Her experience includes afternoon tea, a self-guided safari, pre-dinner drinks, dinner in the African room with wines and Moet champagne, breakfast and a hands-on zoo tour. From $3,275 per night.
The Truffle Farm Canberra Truffle Hunt & Lunch
A truffle hunt is basically Christmas treasure hunting for adults. Book tickets ahead for an experience your lucky truffle-loving friend can enjoy in the depths of a cold Canberra winter (why not do it as a Yuletide treat?). They will follow trained truffle dogs, dig up winter gold, then sit down to a luxury lunch featuring their discoveries. At the Truffle Farm Canberra, expect a decadent seven-course lunch with paired beverages after the hunt, as well as the opportunity to purchase fresh truffles and other farm-made products. It’s earthy, indulgent and delightfully unexpected — the perfect gift for the foodie who loves adventures or deserves something more interesting than another cookbook. $250.
National Museum of Australia Monopoly
A playful gift with a local twist. Canberra Monopoly turns Parliament House, Black Mountain Tower and iconic Aussie landmarks into a board-flipping, laugh-out-loud family showdown. If you grew up in Canberra or your parents (or grandparents) are into boardgames, this will make a fun family get-together game. Also, ideal for nieces, nephews, game-night friends or anyone who loves a bit of friendly Christmas chaos. $69.99
Australian Map Gifts Canberra District Wine Region 2.0 A3 Unframed Print
Surprise one of your friends or family members living in and around Canberra with a gorgeous A3-sized watercolour print of the Canberra District’s cool-climate wineries and popular attractions. Ready to frame, it’s a perfect stocking stuffer for a colleague, your mum, or your wine-loving sibling who appreciates gifts that feel thoughtful without breaking the bank. While it's wholesale-only on the website, you can contact Australian Map Gifts directly to arrange purchase. $40.
Lake George Winery Homestead Accommodation
If your parents love having everyone around for the Christmas holiday but stay in a smaller home, here’s a great option. Make it a family get-together by booking a weekend away at Lake George’s 5-bedroom homestead. The homestead sits among rolling vines, moody lake views and crisp Canberra air, and accommodates up to 13 guests. It’s an instant escape for couples, parents, or friends who need a slow, peaceful post-Christmas recharge. Think luxury country vibes with a glass of local Riesling in hand. From $117
Shaw Estate Dine and Taste Experience
Want something fancy? Book a Dine & Taste experience at Shaw Estate’s newly opened restaurant right at the cellar door and enjoy a guided tasting of estate wines with a cheese and charcuterie platter to share in a beautiful setting. Perfect for a date-day gift, or anyone who loves wine but hates pretentiousness. $65 (for two people)
Murrumbateman Chocolate Co Sparkling Riesling Gift Box
A beautiful, locally sourced gift box of fine chocolate and wine. Think small-batch truffles, decadent pralines and artistic chocolate creations made in the heart of wine country. The Sparkling Riesling box contains a bottle of the local Four Winds Vineyard Sparking Riesling, a box of mixed chocolate coated treats and a chocolate. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser for friends, relatives, and colleagues. $89.
