All our beach gifts feature stunning Indigenous artworks, creating unique gifts for beach lovers! When they're dipping into salty seas and baking on the sand, they'll love thinking of you with the new items in their beach bags. 


All sales at Yarn pay royalties to the artist, supporting their career and creativity. So as well as being useful, these gifts also support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists!
