An estimated $400 million was spent on 10 million unwanted gifts last Christmas in Australia, many of which were discarded and likely ended up in landfill.

Gift cards endure as a great solution. When you know your friend or family member loves nature, the garden, craft, and the outdoors, FORA can help you alleviate that "did I get the right present" anxiety and quell that Gift Card buying guilt.

Sustainability aside, some of us are just are not that organised so a Fora Gift Card will make a handy last-minute digital gift. 

This beautiful design is thanks to Basia Stryjecka, of Little Valley Studio. Originally from a small town in Poland, Basia now calls Michigan in the US her home. Often inspired by the beauty of nature, she creates pieces that bring a sense of calm and wonderment to our everyday lives. With a strong interest in color, composition, and texture she loves to integrate her knowledge of design into her abstract works. Watercolor is Basia's preferred medium, allowing the pigment to guide her brush in creating calming yet playful paintings
