It’s been a blockbuster 2025 at Broadsheet Access. And as end-of-year festivities kick off, we’re celebrating with 12 Days of Access: that’s 12 fab prize-package giveaways over 12 days that’ll have you (and your friends and family) set up for Christmas and beyond.

 

Each day we’ll reveal a new gift bundle from some of our favourite local independent brands, stuffed with goodies you can parcel out as presents to your nearest and dearest, offer to guests at your next holiday get-together – or just keep yourself for an extra dose of seasonal cheer.

 

Check here each day from December 1 to 12 for the current offer. Broadsheet Access members can enter each draw, so remember to pop by daily to make the most of the 12 Days of Access giveaways. (And if you’re not an Access member yet, what’s stopping you? Head here to join.)

Day 3 of the 12 Days of Access:

Thematikos is a mother-son duo from Melbourne making gorgeously scented (and shaped) candles, perfumes and home fragrances inspired by quirky family food memories (Nonna’s Fig Tree, Tsoureki) as well as more traditional bouquets (oud, honeysuckle, cedarwood) and even locations like Athens, London and Rome. Here’s what they’re giving away for the 12 Days of Access: one Yiayia’s Baklava candle, one Pappou’s Garden candle, one negroni candle, one Ciao Bella discovery set featuring three mini candles, one tobacco and leather room spray, one Melbourne scented postcard, one Sydney scented postcard and one Thematikos tote bag.
