Gold Coast-based Nifty Homewares Pty Ltd was put under the control of liquidator Thyge Trafford-Jones on December 23.
The online family business sold well-known kitchenware and homeware products including Stanley Rogers, Wiltshire and Furi.
The small business was put into liquidation as debts climbed, with $71,344 owed to 12 creditors.
Nifty Homewares owes $28,942 to Paypal, $18,821 to Fackelmann Housewares and $6901 to Australia Post.
