It’s time to get festive, frankfurts.

Lend us your ears, dear reader, for we have something very special for you this gifting season. Introducing… (drum roll, please) the frankie box! This swish parcel of bits and bobs brings a bucketload of our favourite brands together in a present that offers a little something for every kind of folk. Spanning 24 super-lovely items valued together at over 600 bucks, you can get your mitts on a frankie box for just $175 from November 20th! (Better yet, if you're a frankie subscriber you'll be able to nab the frankie box for just $150 from November 17th.) Take a peek at what will be awaiting inside below.

Natio – Sun Invisible Mist Sunscreen SPF 50+. (Valued at $24.95) 
Goodbye, sticky sunscreen hands and over-coated skin – hellooo sunscreen mist! There’s no denying that mist is an ace medium for absorbing bits on the skin – it’s quick, refreshing, and it feels extra chic not to get gooey stuff stuck under your nails every time you reapply.

Paire – Socks. (Valued at $26) 
You know what feels good? Socks that don’t slip down into your shoe every time you take the smallest step. Is that too much to ask? Apparently not, because Paire's nifty – and oh so cute – socks do just the job.

kikki.K – Snap Ballpoint Pen. (Valued at $9.99)
You can never have enough pens. Seriously – where the heck have all the pens gone? Lucky for us, we’ve nabbed this swish Snap Ballpoint Pen from kikki.K. Like your best pal, it’s equal parts glamourous and practical. Best to hang on tight to this one.

Marimekko – Tote bag. (Valued at $25)
If you’re already wondering how you’re going to transport all the goodies you’ve acquired in the frankie box so far, fret not – Marimekko have come through with the top stuff. Their rose-y tote bag is the perfect size for beach towels and seaside reads – plus, it’s limited-edition, so you’ll be one of the few folk flaunting it at the beach.

Hinu – Hair Growth Oil 30ml. (Valued at $55)
We dream about the day we’ll wake up to Rapunzel-length locks of hair – until then, we’ll have to make do with the locks we’ve got, plus a dash of hair growth oil from Hinu. In just one bottle, you’ll find everything from aloe vera extract to peppermint oil. “Yummo,” says the hairs on our heads.

earth greetings – Wattle Crowned Cocky Greeting Card. (Valued at $6.95)
There are nice birds, and then there are handsome birds. This, dear friend, is a very handsome bird. So handsome, in fact, that we’d be just as chuffed to give this greeting card to a pal as we would be to receive it. Plus, this fancy Australian Black Cockatoo adorning a crown of native wattle leaves and flowers is printed on 100 per cent recycled paper.

RAWW – Coconut Splash Lip Gloss. (Valued at $24.99)
They’re called superfoods for a reason, you know. OK, OK – they might not be able to rescue babies from burning buildings or stop a train in its tracks with their bare hands, but they sure do help us have soft-as-heck lips. Sitting somewhere between a lip balm and a lipstick, this coconut splash lip gloss is the Goldilocks of lip heroes.

LOCO LOVE – Treat-sized chocolate bar. (Valued at $6.50)
Nothing gets our mouths watering like a slab of top-notch choccy. LOCO LOVE's nuggets of goodness contain nothing but high vibes – oh, and also fair-trade and organic cacao. Plus, they're completely plant-based, so no one has to miss out on seven minutes in LOCO heaven.

Bendigo Woollen Mills – Yarn ball & pattern. (Valued at $20.95)
If you’re anything like us, yarn needs to start being cast onto your knitting needles (or crochet hooks) well before summer ends. These recycled wool+ 8 ply balls of yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills help save fibres from landfill and repurpose them into natural fibre yarn. A reduced carbon footprint and swish yarn to knit? It’s a win-win, really. Plus, you’ll even nab a pattern to get you started!

Ciroa Beauty – Raspberry & Vanilla Mini Body Butter. (Valued at $7.95)
Word of warning: don’t apply Ciroa Beauty’s body butter when you’re hungry – it smells too darn delicious. Blending raspberries and vanilla together to take advantage of their revitalising characteristics and B-vitamins, your skin will love you for this swish treat.

Clemence Organics – Calming Daily Face Lotion. (Valued at $69.99)
We won’t get into all the awards Clemence Organics has collected in its time – we don’t have all day. What we do have, however, is very happy skin. Just look at our grins – our faces have never been calmer!

OBUS – Travel Club Scrunchie. (Valued at $15)
We love that scrunchies double as both hair bits and wrist accessories. Unlike their sad cousin, the boring hair tie, scrunchies inject a sense of flair into every outfit – nay, the entire world – that we’d personally not want to live without. Especially this one from OBUS, what with it being made from offcuts that would have otherwise gone to landfill. Divine!

OPI – Infinite Shine Nail Polish. (Valued at $25.95)
We love a splash of sparkle, a hint of shine, and a bucket load of bedazzled bits. Our garbs might not always look the part, but our nails most definitely do. As far as our digits are concerned, we’re walking disco balls thanks to OPI’s Infinite Shine nail polish collection.

endota spa – Pink Grapefruit & Lemon Aspen Hand & Body Lotion 500ml. (Valued at $35)
Nothing quite hits like stepping out of the shower and coating your body in a layer of sweet-smelling lotion. Yes, we smell like if pink grapefruit and lemon aspen had a delicious baby. And yes, we love it. Although we can’t take any credit – it’s all endota spa and their lovely hand and body lotion.

Timeley Coffee – Flux Blend. (Valued at $20)
An ace cup of joe in the morning is an undeniable necessity. The good folk behind Timeley Coffee understand this better than anyone. Their Flux Blend is roasted to be both heavy and creamy, featuring a scrumptious prominent body. Our mouths are already watering.

Kitiya Palaskas – Mini Collage Pack. (Valued at $15)
Keep your hands busy and your mind focused over the holiday season with this super-fun mini collage pack by Kitiya Palaskas. Every pack is one-of-a-kind and features a selection of shapes and textures, so you can get crafty in any way you like.

KeepCup – Thermal Cold Cup. (Valued at $45)
You can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll be spending the summer sauntering around with a giant iced drink in hand. Disposable cups have no place in hearts – lucky this thermal cup from KeepCup is just the perfect shape to fill the hole.

Dr Bronner – Pure Castile Liquid Soap in Rose. (Valued at $13.95)
There aren’t many bits in our bathroom cupboards that can claim 18 uses in one – except for this schmick pure castile liquid soap by Dr Bronner. From shaving to the shower, washing our pets to washing our makeup off, this nifty soap is like the Swiss Army knife of soaps – plus it smells like a rose garden on a summer’s day.

Thousand Apologies – Hot Sauce. (Valued at $14.95)
This hot sauce has absolutely nothing to apologise for as far as we’re concerned. It’s bursting with flavour, hot on the tongue, and is in the business of making everything it touches taste 100 per cent better. Even things that aren’t meant to be eaten! Although, we don’t recommend that.

Pukka – Chamomile, Vanilla & Manuka Honey Herbal Tea. (Valued at $9)
Before there was ‘spilling the tea’, there was gobbling it down in one slurp and reaching for a second. And maybe even a third? Suffice to say, we can’t get enough of Pukka’s herbal tea range. Consider the tea spilt down our throats.

Princess Highway – Cat & Flora Reversible Hat. (Valued at $44)
While your style might change day-by-day, the UV in summer is usually on a steady streak. But how are you meant to commit to one hat when you don’t know if you want a noggin adorned with kitties and flowers or you want to keep it plain Jane? This lovely hat from Princess Highway might just be the answer – it’s reversible, comes with ties, and knows how to keep up with your identity crises better than you do.

frankie – frankie tea towel. (Valued at $24.95)
The frankie box will also include one of our very own stylish tea towels – perfect for hanging up on the wall or using in the kitchen. Made from 100 per cent cotton and designed by artist Pilgrim Hodgson, the pretty artwork makes doing the dishes a whole lot more exciting. Plus, they’re limited-edition.

frankie – frankie back issue. (Valued at $14.95)
But wait, there's more – we also have a very special frankie mag for you, straight from our archives. If you've ever wondered what the frankies of yesteryear were cooking up inside their covers, you're about to find out with a lucky dip of one of our back issues. Yippee!

frankie – 3-issue frankie subscription. (Valued at $45)
Last but certainly not least, the cherry on top of the frankie box is your very own 3-issue subscription of frankie. Each mag comes chock full of a crapload of pretty illustrations, rad reads and stunning photo shoots, and we're sure you'll love them as much as we love putting them together. 

Keep your eyes peeled for the frankie box when it drops on the frankie shop from November 20th (or from November 17th for frankie subscribers). Happy holidays!
