Gifts for People Who Love Country Living
There’s something special about country life—the crisp early mornings when the air is fresh, the sunrise painting the skies with pinks and golds, and the relaxed evenings as the sun dips slowly over wide paddocks. For those who carry that country spirit in their hearts, gifts that reflect this lifestyle feel deeply personal and thoughtful.
Below are beautifully curated gift ideas—each one featuring a product from Middle Of Nowhere Creations, where the soul of the Australian outback meets practical elegance.
1. Country-Inspired Kitchenware
In country homes, the kitchen is more than a workspace—it’s where the day begins before sunrise, where breakfast is savoured slowly, and where family gathers. The Outback Australia Glass Cutting Board is ideal: tempered glass printed with a golden sunset sweeping across rugged paddocks. It's both a beautiful display piece and a heat-resistant, scratch-proof surface for everyday meal prep.
Pair this board with a matching mug from this beautiful country such as the "Australia – Our Way Of Life" mug to create a gift set that brings the outback into the everyday routine. It’s perfect for someone who loves cooking with scenery as much as flavour.
2. Cosy Homewares
Little touches in the home can transform everyday life into something comforting and serene. Your collections of cushions and throws feature earthy tones and floral patterns inspired by the outback—perfect for enhancing a lounge or guest chair with country charm.
A curated gift might include a throw in muted wheat or terracotta shades, layered with our beautiful Hattie's Design Premium Hypoallergenic Throw Pillow featuring a content koala in it's natural home, plus a country‑style mug for sipping an evening herbal tea during sunset. This trio invites calm and connection—ideal for evenings watched from verandas or living rooms warmed by soft light.
3. Rustic Bathroom Touches
Country living brings its charm to every corner—even the bathroom. A gift that includes our stunning Emmy Towel and a rustic-themed soap dispenser helps bring a touch of outback tranquillity to daily routines. Consider pairing these practical pieces with a scented candle featuring eucalyptus or native floral fragrances for a full sensory experience.
Even small decorative touches—like a framed print from your preserve-making heritage or a woven basket for storage—can turn morning routines into a moment of country-inspired indulgence.
4. Country Office Vibes
Country style isn’t limited to kitchens and lounges. For those who work from home or enjoy creative spaces, office ware with rural inspiration adds personality and motivation. At Middle Of Nowhere Creations, the office collection includes items like notebooks, and aprons printed with station life, native animals, and visuals from your own photography.
A thoughtful “creators’ gift pack” could feature a notebook with station photography, a country‑scene mouse pad, plus a country‑branded ceramic mug. This mix feels inspiring, practical, and deeply personal—perfect for those who draw creativity from the landscape.
5. Outdoor Dining Essentials
One of the greatest pleasures in country living is dining outdoors—whether it's breakfast at sunrise, lunch on a veranda, or casual sunset drinks. Items like the Amelia Apron can bring so much joy to those who are in charge of preparing the delicious food and nibbles under the open sky. Add durable drinkware and a picnic blanket in natural tones to complete the experience.
A gift bundle featuring your cutting board, a matching mug or ceramic (such as a floral or animal‑design mug), and a cosy throw for outdoor lounging would bring the essence of rural Australia to any gathering.
