Shop Make Me Iconic kids’ toys – Melbourne

Born in 2009 out of a couple’s love of Melbourne, Make Me Iconic Toys captures the special spirit of Australia’s culture capital. Collaborating with local designers and craftsmen, the brand transforms distinctive elements into stunning collectable pieces that are just as much at home on the mantlepiece as they are in the playroom.

From the famous old-school trams to tea sets with a side of Arnott’s Bikkies and everything in between, this local firm does it all – and they do it with flair.

Each item is researched in detail, carrying a rich history with it. That history seeps its way from the brand’s headquarters and into conversations around the dinner table and living room, uniting grandparents who knew the city of the past and kids who know the city as it is now.

Being from Melbourne ourselves, Toybox Tales is proud to have Make Me Iconic kids’ toys in our collection. We consider it an honour to be spreading awareness about our cultural wonders and educating through fun play pieces, that showcase our local treasures. Order a piece or two and enjoy the experiences they bring into your world now.

Make Me Iconic toys showcase Melbourne at its best

Make Me’s love of Melbourne shows through in its’ beautifully designed kids toys. Find everything from Australia Post boxes to the city’s heritage trams in our selection, plus a whole lot more!

Made from non-toxic materials, the wooden pieces are both safe for little ones to play with and made to last - which is why they’ve made it into our collection of wooden toys. The company puts a lot of thought and care into making them that way, staying true to the high standard of design excellence and craftsmanship that mark the city as an artistic centre.

The Toybox Tales selection is a snapshot of the kind of lifestyle you can expect from our hometown. Fashionable kids’ purses, dentist kits, ice cream melts, and gorgeous animal figurines are ready to make their way into your home - or to friends and family who miss this part of the Land Down Under.

With age recommendations on each product, the process of buying something special for your little ones is made even easier.

From Melbourne, with love

Buying thoughtful souvenirs isn’t always easy. As the founders of Make Me discovered after returning home from Europe, fine-quality memorabilia that captures the heart and soul of a place is truly meaningful. Not finding much around, they decided to create their own range - and we’re so glad they did!

Now you can access gorgeous Australian-made replicas of our favourite city online, direct from our toybox in Hampton. There’s truly something for everyone, whether you’re collecting items from our line of car, plane, and train toys, or just want your kids to have something that reminds them of the place you grew up in.

Shop online and enjoy fast shipping all across Australia. We’re more than happy to gift wrap items if you intend them as a present - a handy time-saver if you’re preparing for an upcoming trip!
