Welcome to Choosing Keeping!
Choosing, Keeping, Cherishing
-your gift, your story.
AU-based, family-run gift shop.
Choosing Keeping began in 2021 as a small dream between my daughter and I.
I’ve spent over 20 years in handbag design, production, and retail, but it was her spark of creativity that gave me the courage to start something new.
What started as a passion has now become our daily joy and profession. Surrounded by stacks of fabric, soft ribbons, and drawers full of treasures waiting to be stitched. Every tote bag, pouch, or personalised gift passes through our hands with thought and intention. We love imagining where each piece will go and whose story it will become part of.
Knowing that our work is loved and trusted by happy customers around the world fills us with gratitude. Your kind words keep us inspired — don’t be shy, we treasure every bit of encouragement.
Processing & Shipping
Each gift is lovingly wrapped and shipped from Melbourne, Australia. Processing usually takes 1–5 days. Delivery within Australia is around a week, and to the USA or Canada usually takes about two weeks. Need something quickly? Just reach out — we’ll always do our best to help.
Thank you for supporting a family dream that grew into something bigger than we imagined!
With warmest wishes,
Jenny & Family

One by one, they’re pressed, trimmed, wrapped

It’s slow, it’s simple, but it’s where Choosing Keeping comes alive.
