Sustainable
The Sydney Library of Things
With interest rates rising and the cost of living going through the roof, The Sydney Library of Things is offering a special annual membership joining fee for yourself and for you to gift to someone else.
There is a Sydney Library of Things at the Coal Loader at Waveton and another one coming soon to Lane Cove.
Now more than ever, we need a library of things. The cost of living is rising. How can you try new things or grab some much-needed equipment without spending much money? The answer is The Sydney Library of Things!!
The Sydney Library of Things has useful, fun and unique items. Why buy when you can borrow? How many times have you purchased an item, used it once or twice, and then it has sat in your Garage for years? That item will eventually end up as landfill.
You can join The Sydney Library of Things for as little as $65 (annual membership) and borrow up to five items per week without further fees or give your loved one or friends a gift certificate to join for a year at this Christmas Special price.
The Sydney Library of Things has over 250 items in the library

Interior Design Time
It’s become a bit of Groundhog Day staring at the same four walls. If it’s time for a change then it’s time to meet local Dani Bartholomeusz from Meusz Interiors.
Dani’s design ethos is ‘affordable designer style’ to help her clients achieve stunning, practical, and affordable spaces.
Some clients want a complete home overall while others just want to update certain rooms in their house or apartment. Some clients just need help with selecting finishes and fixtures for their new renovation. Clients may choose to have Dani’s help as much, or as little, as they require. It doesn’t matter if you have a 1-bedroom unit or a 5-bedroom house, Meusz Interiors can help you transform your home with affordable and creative solutions.
Dani combines style with function so that all family members (parents, kids, or furry friends) can enjoy their home for many years to come. She works closely with you so that your home reflects your personal space.
So if you know someone who wants a bit of a revamp around the house but does not know where to start – grab them a gift voucher from Meusz Interiors.
The perfect last-minute Christmas present, are E-Gift Cards delivered directly via email.
The lucky giftee will receive a 1.5-hour In-home Design Consultation, where our time may be used to chat about ideas to continue a project on their own, or we can move onto the next step, where I create a dreamy design scheme.
Only $299. Contact Meusz Interiors for more information and to make your purchase just in time for Christmas [email protected]
