Our Story

Welcome to The Bastet Collective, where each collection is made by parents, for parents, because we get it. We’ve been there, and we’re here to help you navigate this beautiful, messy, and amazing journey called parenthood.

We are inspired to curate thoughtful, meaningful and memorable gifting experiences during the most exciting and exhausting transition of your loved ones life.

The Bastet Collective journey began with the heartfelt desire to truly support parents during the rollercoaster ride of parenthood. Founded by Paula, an Aussie mum with 2 beautiful children, our mission is simple: to provide thoughtfully curated gifts and products that don’t just look pretty on a shelf, but actually serve a purpose for parents. Whether they’re bringing home their first brand-new bebe or experienced mums and dads that need to stock up on the essentials for bubs arrival.

Before I became a parents, like many others, I showed up to baby showers and new baby visits with gifts I thought were lovely, but in hindsight, were often just cute trinkets that ended up collecting dust in the corner. We’ve all been there, right? Those well-meaning gifts that look great, but aren’t exactly what a new mum or dad really need at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday morning. Now, that I’ve been through pregnancy, labour and new born life, I kinda cringe at how much I didn’t know or understand what mums and dads really need or want in those first few months.

That’s where The Bastet Collective comes in. Our collections have been created with one clear focus: to curate gifts that parents not only want, but need, and may not even know they need until they’re facing the realities of sleepless nights and endless feeds. Each item in our gift baskets is chosen with purpose, practicality, and sentimental value in mind and a few treats thrown in for good measure. Whether it’s something that makes life a little easier, a product that brings comfort, or an item that offers a sweet touch of nostalgia, everything we curate has a reason for being there.

Every product we stock has been handpicked by parents, for parents. These are products we’ve used, products that have made our lives smoother, or things we wish we had when we first became parents. We know what it’s like to juggle it all—feeling like you're running on fumes, but still wanting to provide the best for your little one. That’s why we’re dedicated to offering gift sets that are more than just good-looking. They’re thoughtful, useful, and tailored to the real moments of parenthood. The kind of moments that no one warns you about, like the 3 a.m. feed or when you’re staring at the pantry for a quick easy one-handed meal.

At The Bastet Collective, our aim is to make parenting a little easier and a lot more meaningful. Our carefully curated baskets reflect the love and care that parents put into every decision, whether it’s practical or sentimental, every product has a story. We want every parent to feel supported, appreciated, and understood, whether it’s with a handpicked gift for a new mum or a thoughtful care package for a seasoned parent who deserves a little extra love.
