Concept store. Kids and baby, Paddington
A concept store for a wooden toy brand where safety information is easy to find.


The brief
Gumnut & Co. is a fictional Brisbane wooden toy and nursery brand, designed as a concept by Laneway Commerce. It is not a real client. The imagined brief: parents and gift buyers want to see that a toy is safe before they care what it looks like, and the brand needs gift bundles that make buying for a birthday a two-minute job.
Warm, calm and quick to scan
A soft cream background, terracotta buttons and rounded type give the store a gentle feel. The collage hero shows three product scenes, each leading to a different room. Parents shop by age and room, so those are the navigation labels.
Each product page lists age range, materials and the test standard directly under the price. The answer to "is this safe for my one-year-old" is never more than one glance away.
Bundles that do the choosing
Gift buyers are often in a hurry and unsure what age group the child falls in. Gift bundles group products by occasion: newborn, first birthday, big sibling. They are built with Shopify Bundles so each item is still tracked in inventory, and the bundle shows a clear saving against buying separately.
Gift wrap and a handwritten card are added at checkout as a line item, which also keeps them out of the product catalogue.
Australian specifics
Toys for young children have to meet Australian product safety rules. We built the safety page, the product-level age labels and a recall contact process into the store, and flagged anything a merchant must check with a testing lab. Prices include GST, with Australia Post for small items and StarTrack for larger gift boxes. Afterpay and Zip suit gift purchases and are offered at checkout.
