This festive season, we’re proud to bring back our Christmas Gift Wrapping Initiative, helping every gift you give spread joy far beyond the tree. For 2025, we’re thrilled to be partnering with Starlight Children’s Foundation to help bring fun, laughter, and happiness to seriously ill children and their families.

Last year, thanks to your support, we raised over $5,800 for our 2024 charity partner, Children’s Ground, and we’re so delighted to continue making a difference again this Christmas.

For every gift wrapped, $1 will be donated to Starlight Children’s Foundation, helping create moments of light and joy for children facing the toughest of times.

Close to Home

This year’s partnership with Starlight Children’s Foundation feels especially close to home for our team. When our founder Alischa’s young son, Albert, spent time in Sydney Children’s Hospital last year, it was the visits from Captain Starlight and the magic of the Starlight Room that brought light to their hardest days. For Albert, those joyful moments filled with singing, laughter, and play were the absolute highlight of each hospital stay. Seeing first-hand the impact that Starlight has on families has deepened our admiration for their work – and made this collaboration all the more meaningful. We’re honoured to support an organisation that brings hope and happiness to children and young people during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Lottie's Story

As part of our initiative this year, we’re honoured to be helping to share the story of Lottie – Starlight’s hero child this Christmas. After being diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder, Lottie spent months in hospital, enduring painful treatments and long periods in intensive care. But even during the darkest moments, Captain Starlight brought laughter, play and joy into her world, turning fear into confidence and hospital into something a little more magical.

That’s the power of Starlight. And together, we can help make that magic possible for more children and families this festive season.

The Season of Giving

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, life can become consumed by hospital stays and treatments. It can be overwhelming – but that’s where Starlight steps in.

For more than 35 years, Starlight Children’s Foundation has been brightening the lives of seriously ill children and their families across Australia. Working hand in hand with health professionals, Starlight’s programs bring play, creativity, and connection into hospitals, helping children build resilience and find moments of happiness through hardship.

Research shows that happiness helps kids cope better with pain, fear, and isolation – and that positivity can have lasting effects on their health and wellbeing. That’s why Starlight exists: because happiness matters.
