Customer photo review of Chocolate Platter - Flowering Gum

Cheryl And John L.Verified

We have purchased many of these beautiful plates for special gifts for friends and family both at home and overseas. They are always received with great pleasure and admiration of the beauty of these Australian handcrafted pieces. I finally have kept one for ourselves, the beautiful flowering gum Blay Bowl. They are timeless gifts for birthdays, wedding and special occasions,

Customer photo review of Standard Goblet - Stalagmite

Amanda G.Verified

"We received two goblets as wedding gifts and they are absolutely beautiful! The quality of the silver finish and artwork design is top notch. They are also very weighty which gives them a high quality feel. We will truly treasure them for a lifetime." (Written by the happy recipients of the Stalagmite design goblets.)

We use Don Sheil products as prizes in philatelic exhibitions. This one was the grand prize for best in show at a recent Hobart show. We love the products because they great to look ant, useful, light and easy to transport as well as being clearly Australian.

Customer photo review of 8" Bowl - Brolga

Floor B.Verified

Love the product but your packaging and sending is appalling. Why was it not send in a postage box ??? Why attach a sticker on the gift wrap box thereby destroying the box???? If it was not sad it would be laughable!!! Very very disappointed . This is meant to be a wedding gift but we now have to totally rewrap to present it as the beautiful gift it is and not something from the two dollar shop

Lindy T.Verified

Wedding gift to Chinese granddaughter. Love your product. Note: Gift box was damaged on a couple edges and corner but no time to let you know for replacement. Maybe needs to be in an outer box to withstand the rigorous mail handling.

Customer photo review of Nectar Cup - Satin

Benjamin T.Verified

We have bought the two cups as a gift. Our dear friends in England have moved from London to a house in the country. We plan to visit them later in the year. The housewarming gift is the pair of nectar cups. They will love having something entirely Australian to show off in their new home. It was years ago, here in Sydney, that they met: Australia is dear to their hearts. Don Sheil, you'll be treasured in Dorset.

I just love Don Shiel products and have given it to all my family in UK, for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries. Kept a lot for myself also. Used to buy it in Brighton when the shop was open.

Patricia M & R Bruce J.Verified

We wanted an enduring, stylish gift for a family member's wedding. This salad bowl is the perfect one. It is even more beautiful than the picture. A genuine work of art that will last their lifetime.

We am loving our brand new heat mat. It not only looks great on our table, but will protect it from the many gatherings we have for years to come. We received our first Mat from Alan and Jan Roper as wedding gift 42 years ago. Its starting to look a little shabby and the cork backing is wearing down, but is still in use everyday.

Misty Z.Verified

I love the cups!! My Aunt has many of your pieces and I fell in love with these cups on a recent trip to Australia. I ordered these as soon as I got home and it took 8 months to get my pieces. A little long in my opinion. But great product!

Rhonda E.Verified

Our family and extended family have each of their own design for their family being stalagmite, lunar and swirl. When their is a newborn or marriage the new members of the family are welcomed with their family "design" cup. It is a tradition thats has been going on for decades. These cups travel everywhere with us, camping, on holidays, to each others homes for family events and christmas. The quality is timeless and the size is generous. The ability to chill before pouring in a beverage and...

Sarah C.Verified

Impressed with the speed of delivery. Initially thought the order would be around 4 weeks away as it was on pre-order, but it arrived within a week. Purchasing the gift box was a great decision, saved me time on gift wrapping and keeps it safe and treasured for the receiver. Flowering gum is one of my favourite Don Sheil designs.

My parents have many pieces in swirl design, so the pen rest was the perfect gift to acknowledge my dad's oncologist. The craftsmanship and artistry of the design is truly timeless.

I had already been able to purchase a plate from a stockist in Perth but knew I could also get a box after viewing your website. What was a perfect gift for an overseas client looks even more impressive in the box. Thankyou for such prompt service. 👍

The tray is gorgeous and the hand engraving and box with beautiful cloth have made it a wonderful wedding present. My aunt gave us a similar platter for our wedding, and I have used it continually for 30 years. It still looks as good as it did when I received it. It is my most prized and valuable entertaining asset

Trish B.Verified

I purchased this plate as a gift for my son's mother-in-law before she returned to Chile after visiting her family in Australia. She had commented on the beauty of Australian flora so I thought that every time she used or glanced at the plate, the etching of the waratah would be reminder of her stay with that part of her family now living in Australia.

Tom from Don Sheil of Australia went above and beyond to deliver an exceptional product to us. The gift has been met with admiration by everyone who’s seen it, from the beautifully crafted item itself to the lovely packaging and the company card that accompanied it. I would recommend Don Sheil of Australia, not only for their outstanding craftsmanship but also for their genuine and attentive communication throughout the process. Even though this was a corporate gift, their care and professi...

Thank you so much. Beautiful as always. I have been giving Don Sheil gifts for over 30 years. We were expats, living all over the world and they made lovely high quality unique Australian gifts. This time they were sent to Ireland as Wedding Gifts.

We bought 3 flowering gum dip bowls and 3 flowering gum platters as gifts for family and friends we visited in Italy as we wanted something that is made in Australia and having an Australian theme. We bought them with the gift box with the added advantage that they were not heavy and well presented. The gifts were very well received and admired by all and fostered even more interest in our country.

We purchased the small square tray with flowering gum pattern along with several other smaller pieces as gifts for European friends and relatives whom we visited in December. Like all of Don Sheil's pieces, it was perfect as an Australian-made gift featuring Australian flora. All the gifts of Don Sheil that we gave were very much appreciated by the recipients!
