Facebook's director of policy, Mia Garlick, said the guide was created to support the regional economy,

"It was developed to celebrate the innovation and success of regional small businesses across the country that play an important role support the national economy," she said.

"As we've travelled around Australia meeting more than 10,000 businesses [with Facebook's two-year Community Boost initiative], we've heard amazing success stories of how regional and rural businesses are using the internet to grow their business both here and internationally; creating jobs and economic growth for Australia," she said.

"This holiday season, we're encouraging Aussies to discover something new; to support small business and gift off the beaten track."

The guide was launched on Monday and includes the Bridestowe's Lavender Relaxation Kit for $72.

Bass MHR Bridget Archer said that Bridestowe was an iconic tourist attraction.

"It is fantastic to see that their business will be highlighted in Facebook's 2019 Gift Guide, one of only 30 businesses in Australia chosen by Facebook to celebrate and support regional innovation," she said.

"Supporting small businesses is so important to our local economy and I encourage the community to get behind a small business either online or by visiting a local shop during the lead-up to Christmas."
