Quick answer: The best quokka gifts are the ones that match how the person lives. A $6.99 art-parody card or $9.99 sticker sheet for a small thank-you, a $17.99 quokka mug for coffee people, a $25.99 quokka tee for a wearable gift, and the $64.99 Professional Napper blanket when you want to go big.
Everyone knows one. They send you quokka videos at midnight, they have been to Rottnest Island (or won’t stop talking about going), and their phone background is a small brown marsupial with a big grin.
This guide is for buying that person something they will use. If you are searching for quokka gifts, here are 25 ideas from $6.99 to $89. Every design is original, drawn for Quokka Planet, and everything is printed only after you order, so nothing sits in a warehouse.
One thing before the list. 3% of every order’s subtotal is set aside for quokka protection, and that is 3% of what you pay for the products, not of profit. Our one shop rule is love loudly, touch nothing, which is why you won’t find a single quokka selfie here.

How do I choose the right quokka gift?
Start with what the person already does every day, then pick the quokka version of it. A coffee drinker gets a mug, a hiker gets a tee, and someone who is always cold gets the blanket.
A few rules we use ourselves:
- They drink tea or coffee all day: a mug. See all quokka mugs.
- They have been to Rottnest, or are going: a Rottnest Field Club tee or the enamel mug. More in Rottnest Souvenirs.
- They love art, or at least like pretending to: an art-parody tee or card. The full set is in famous paintings, but quokkas.
- They have a baby or a toddler: the bodysuit or kids’ tee in Kids & Baby.
- All you know is that they like animals: a funny tee from Funny Quokkas.
- You have a firm budget: start with gifts under $30 and work up.
Still unsure? A mug or a tee. Both get used, and neither needs a spare shelf.

Which quokka T-shirt should I buy?
All our quokka tees are $25.99 and unisex, so the question is about the person, not the price. Pick the joke they would say out loud. Each product page has a size chart, so check it against a tee they already own. The full range is under quokka T-shirts.

A blanket, a beanie, a knitted jumper or a wall print. These are the gifts people keep out on the sofa from November to March.

Babies grow fast. If you are unsure about size, check the size chart and think about the date the child will actually wear it, not the date you order.
What are good everyday quokka gifts?
The things that live in a bag or on a desk: a notebook, a tote, a towel. They get used weekly, which is the best test of a gift.
- Ideas I Had While Doing Nothing Notebook, $24.99. A spiral notebook for the best ideas, which famously arrive during naps.
- Love Loudly, Touch Nothing Tote Bag, $29.99. Organic canvas, a minimal quokka and our shop rule in handwriting.

When should I order, and how do I make it feel like a gift?
Order early, because everything is printed after you order and usually arrives in 1 to 3 weeks. For a Christmas or birthday date, count back at least three weeks and add a few days of cushion. The shipping page has the details.
Order a week before you think you need to. A printed-to-order parcel can take longer than a warehouse one. That is the one trade-off, and the reason nothing is wasted.
Some small things that help. Pair a small gift with a big one: a $6.99 card with a $25.99 tee looks thoughtful and stays reasonable. Write the joke on the card, since half the fun of a quokka tee is explaining it. A mug with the sticker sheet, or the notebook with the tote, makes a set without much extra cost. And keep the wrapping simple. Brown paper and string suit the quokka look and are easy to recycle.
Free shipping applies in the US over $35, and to Europe (including the UK), Australia and New Zealand over $60. Two or three smaller items are an easy way to cross the line.
How should I look after a quokka gift?
Wash printed clothing inside out and follow the care label. Wash mugs gently and check the product page for what it says about dishwashers and microwaves. A quick look at the label saves most accidents.
If anything arrives damaged or misprinted, send us a photo within 30 days and we reprint it free.
