Founded by Malyangapa and Barkindji chef and entrepreneur Matt Atkins, nunka. creates thoughtfully curated hampers, gifts and experiences that celebrate Aboriginal culture, Australian native ingredients and the stories of Country and community.

The word nunka means “bountiful”—a fitting expression of the brand’s approach to generosity, abundance and meaningful gifting. From gourmet food hampers and native Australian pantry products to wellbeing gifts, candles, florals, baby gifts and bespoke corporate collections, every offering is selected or created with quality, presentation and purpose in mind. nunka. helps customers give something memorable while discovering the richness and diversity of Aboriginal Australia.

Our vision is to become a leading First Nations gifting and lifestyle brand that connects people through beautifully presented products, authentic storytelling and the distinctive flavours and creativity of Aboriginal Australia. We aim to make culturally meaningful gifting accessible for everyday consumers, businesses and retailers while creating greater visibility and commercial opportunity for First Nations products, makers and stories.

nunka. operates as an online retailer, providing personal and corporate gifting with delivery available across Australia. Customers can select from curated hampers, create their own hamper or work with the team on a bespoke gift designed around a particular recipient, occasion, budget or theme. The range caters to birthdays, celebrations, new babies, wellbeing, Christmas, staff recognition, client appreciation, conferences and major corporate events.

Corporate gifting is an important part of the business. nunka. works with organisations seeking gifts that are distinctive, professionally presented and aligned with their commitments to reconciliation, supplier diversity and meaningful Aboriginal engagement. Custom options can include branded packaging, personalised messages, curated product combinations and coordinated delivery to individual recipients or business locations.

Products are made using carefully selected ingredients, with an emphasis on natural flavours, sustainable sourcing, recyclable packaging and products free from unnecessary additives and preservatives. Retailers interested in stocking nunka. can access wholesale information, a product catalogue and support with product education and storytelling.
