May Gibbs’ Gumnut babies, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie

June 13, 2020

While American have their Micky Mouse, Japanese have Hello Kitty, Finnish have Moomin, for Aussies, we have our very popular Gumnut babies and Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.

May Gibbs (1877-1969) is one of Australia’s most treasured illustrators and the first female cartoonist in Australia.

May Gibbs’ Gumnut Babies was published in late 1916 and was an instant hit. Other bush babies were born in the following two years, including Gum Blossom Babies, Boronia Babies, Flannel Flower Babies and Wattle Babies.

These bush babies were now firmly established as part of Australian folklore.

Gibbs later published The Complete Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie in 1918, which has become the iconic Australian children’s story till these days. It is a story of two gumnut babies and their escape from the villain Banksia men.

Gibbs’ beautifully illustrated fantasy tales brought the vivid sights and sounds of the Aussie bush alive, the stories are filled with excitement, adventures and magic that have fascinated generations of children.

Great Australian made

I love both my bags. Beautiful wrist bag and Kisslock clutch. Unique fabric patterns. Quality workmanship is visible. Nice to have something that is not mass produced. Customer service was fantastic. Bought the cross over bag as a gift, will be buying some more for gifts. Warning these bags are addictive. 😁

Lovely little bag

I bought this as a gift for my daughter and she just loves it. She says it is large enough for her phone and keys.

Thoughtful detail

Thank you Pink Oasis for including a hand written note with the gift bought by a niece and nephew dedicated to their Aunty on the other side of the country. The wristlet was gorgeous of course, but the note made it special. Thank you.

I so love my bag. I’ve been getting lovely comments while out and about. And it does look great with all my old cameras when I’m not using it. Such a useful piece of Art!

Love locally made

This is the second bag I have purchased from you as a gifts. I always have trouble deciding which bad to choose as the designs are beautiful. The quality of the product is excellent and thee service around the ordering, packaging and delivery is faultless. Well done to your small handmade business - we need more of it.
