Right now, Afghanistan has war on two borders. Iran to the west. Pakistan to the east. Our usual route out through the Torkham crossing to Karachi is closed.
Getting stock to Australia now means going north — through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, all the way to Turkey. The ancient Silk Road. It's a long road, and our next shipment won't reach Adelaide in time for Christmas.
So we're clearing our Adelaide warehouse to help reduce costs.

Reusable Gift Bags
Say good-bye to wrapping paper and sticky tape; stop ransacking the house for a pair of scissors at 11pm on Christmas Eve. With our reusable Christmas gift bags you will wrap that 7-sided dollhouse on wheels in four seconds flat and make clean-up on Christmas morning a breeze. Once you've switched to bags you will never go back to paper!
Our bags are pro-planet, 100% cotton and look beautiful under the tree. Best of all, they will last generations and create your own family tradition as they get handed down the generations.
Our mission is to take the waste out of the most excessive time of the year: no more wrapping paper, ribbons, sticky tape, gift tags, or tissue going to the bins.
Combined with our reusable Christmas crackers, we can remove most single-use waste from December 25.

Hello! Curious?
I have always gone ‘slightly’ overboard Christmas. Too much food, too many costumes, drowning in decorations and spending waaay too much money on things that don’t last – or if they do last it’s because they’re plastic and will outlast me and another 20 generations.
I was sick of the waste, sick of wrapping presents for hours and hours on Christmas eve, fighting with the sellotape and searching the house for a pair of scissors.
I embarked on a journey to craft reusable bags, realistic Christmas crackers and even fabric tissue paper.
Now, everything is wrapped in half an hour! Then on Christmas morning the kids easily stuff everything back into the biggest gift bag.
I thought I was onto something great when family and friends requested their own. After thousands of happy customers, tens of thousands of crackers and hundreds of thousands of gift bags, I am sure.
