About Us

Welcome to Making Spirits Bright

Since 2001, Making Spirits Bright has been spreading Christmas magic from the heart of Bright, Victoria. What started as a small shop called Country Heart & Home, founded by Amanda & Brett Ralph, has grown into one of Australia’s most loved Christmas destinations, attracting locals and travellers alike.

In 2023, we opened a second store right next door, creating an even bigger festive wonderland. From sparkling trees and lights to ornaments, ribbons, florals, and home décor, every item is carefully handpicked to help you create a truly magical Christmas.

Our Mission
Our goal is simple: to make your Christmas unforgettable. We travel the world to find the finest seasonal collections and craft inspiring displays, delivering an exceptional shopping experience – whether in-store or online. With our passionate team and heartfelt service, we help you create joy, spark creativity, and make lasting memories with your loved ones.

Our Customers
Whether you’re decorating your home, collecting special pieces, or finding the perfect gift, we have something for every style and budget. Every customer is welcomed and inspired, and every visit is designed to be a joyful experience.

Our Stores & Online
Step into a world of festive wonder across our two Bright stores, featuring themed displays from Traditional and Elegant to Whimsical. Prefer to shop from home? Our online store brings the same magic right to your door.

From Our Family to Yours
Making Spirits Bright is more than a store – it’s a celebration of everything we love about Christmas, and we’re proud to share it with you.
