Why We Don’t Do Black Friday (and What We’re Choosing Instead)

Every year around this time, inboxes overflow with countdowns, coupon codes, and “biggest sale ever” promises. The pressure to buy more, spend fast, and stock up before the clock runs out is everywhere.

We completely understand the temptation - it’s been a tough few years for many families, and finding a great deal can feel like a small win. But for us at Made In Hemp, our values guide us differently. We’re here for the long game: building something that lasts, supporting the people who make it possible, and doing our part to help the planet heal.

So while we won’t be slashing prices this Black Friday, we will keep offering products made with care, priced fairly all year round, and created with genuine purpose.

What We Believe In Instead

At Made In Hemp, we’ve always believed that “value” isn’t just a number on a price tag - it’s the care, craftsmanship, and intention behind the product.

Whether it’s our hemp skincare hand-blended on the Central Coast, or our clothing made from natural fibres like hemp and bamboo, every item we offer is designed to feel good, do good, and last longer than a sales weekend.

We choose ethical partners who share our commitment to fair working conditions and sustainable materials. We don’t chase trends or mass production - we build collections that tell stories, that evolve with the seasons, and that connect people back to nature.

This approach might not make us the loudest in your inbox, but it allows us to stand by every item we make or sell - proudly, honestly, and sustainably.

Why Supporting Hemp Matters

Choosing hemp isn’t just about natural skincare or breathable clothing - it’s a vote for the kind of future we all want.

Hemp is one of the most sustainable crops on the planet. It regenerates the soil it grows in, requires minimal water, and naturally captures carbon from the atmosphere. It’s fast-growing, renewable, and biodegradable - a material that’s as kind to the earth as it is to your skin.

At Made In Hemp, we’re proud to be licensed hemp growers here in Australia - taking our connection to this incredible plant one step further. Our goal is to one day use our own locally grown hemp within our skincare formulations and future product lines, bringing the process full circle from soil to shelf. It’s a long-term vision that reflects our belief in hemp’s potential to transform not just products, but industries.

Every hemp item purchased helps strengthen an industry that has the potential to replace harmful synthetics and resource-heavy crops with a cleaner, greener alternative.

Supporting hemp means supporting farmers who are restoring land, businesses who are innovating with sustainable materials, and families like ours who believe that small actions - when shared - can make a big difference.

Fair Pricing, Year-Round

We don’t raise prices just to discount them later. Our pricing reflects the real cost of doing things properly: ethical sourcing, local production, and quality ingredients that last.

When you shop with us, you’re not just buying a product - you’re helping to sustain fair wages, reduce waste, and build a more balanced kind of economy. One where “sales” don’t define value, and thoughtful choices create long-term change.

So this season, we invite you to shop differently. Skip the countdowns and chaos, and choose gifts that hold meaning - for the person receiving them, and for the world they’re made in.

A Kinder Way to Shop

If you’ve had your eye on something special, now’s a beautiful time to order early and support a slower, more sustainable way of shopping. You’ll find our Christmas Gift Guide filled with hemp favourites, skincare essentials, and thoughtful pieces that celebrate conscious living.

Every purchase, whether it’s a bar of soap or a hemp shirt, helps us continue what we love - making and curating products that are good for people, planet, and future generations.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
For choosing small business, for believing in hemp, and for helping us grow something that truly does good.
