About us

Welcome to our online store and thank you for your interest in Babushkas.

We are an Australian retail, wholesale and internet business, founded in 1991 in Melbourne. We specialise in Russian & Eastern European Gifts and Jewellery and import all of our products directly from manufacturers in Russia, Poland, Germany, Czech and Slovakia often travelling to those countries ourselves to personally choose the product. Russian Matryoshki (Nesting Dolls) are our main product line and we operate as the exclusive Australian supplier for several Russian manufacturs of these dolls. All of our Nesting Dolls come with Authenticity Certificates. Other product lines include Amber from Gdansk on the Baltic Sea, Lacquered Boxes from the Golden Ring of Russia, Chess Sets and Wooden Boxes from the Tatra Mountains, Glass Xmas decorations from Poland and Germany and Easter eggs from Slovakia.

Our customers come from all over the world and we are more than happy to ship our Gifts to you no matter where you live. We happily ship our gift items to all parts of Australia free of charge and to all other countries for a flat charge of 8 AUD. We also offer next day delivery Australia wide if you require this extra level of service. All orders are sent via Australia Post the next weekday after purchase if you pay by Credit Card or Paypal or if you're paying direct into our bank account next weekday after receipt of payment.
