24.01.2022 Now that you can sip your flat white from an actual cup, in (or just outside) your favourite Melbourne coffee house, you’ll need a good book, right? You can’t go past the new paperback edition of Sophie Cunningham’s Melbourne. We’ve stocked this delightful memoir since it was first published in 2011 (that’s the whole lifespan of Melbournalia!) Sophie writes a year in the city's life, a year that takes us from the heatwave that culminated on Black Saturday when temperatures s...oared to 47 degrees, to the destructive deluge of a hailstorm. We walk with Sophie through Melbourne's oldest suburb to its largest market, to the footy and to the comedy festival. Along the way we journey deep into the writer’s own recollections of the city she grew up in and learn stories from its history: the theft of Picasso's Weeping Woman, the Hoddle Street massacre, William Barak's trek from Healesville, the Westgate Bridge Disaster, the high drama of the 1970 and 2009 AFL grand finals. She strolls by Melbourne's rivers and creeks while considering the history of the wetlands and river that sit at Melbourne’s heart. #memoir #welovemelbourne #melbournewriter #perfectgift

18.01.2022 Did we mention our spiffy, bonza bike socks? The delightful print on Otto and Spike Bikes Socks (which also comes in a scarf) was inspired by composer Sir Edward Elgar who, in the summer of 1900, began to venture out on long rides in the countryside, returning with inspired new melodies and orchestral tunes. Elgar's Royal Sunbeam bicycle (affectionately named Mr Phoebus) is the model for the bicycle on this so-Melbourne ode to rainy spring days, bike-friendly streets and a lo...ve of the creative life. #bikesocks #bikeride #locallove #weekendvibes Socks by @ottoandspike Photos by @_bornonawednesday

06.01.2022 More goodness in Gift Packs! What do you give your loved one when the crack of the ball against the willow and sleepy afternoons kicked back in front of the telly in the scorching summer heat is all they've ever wanted? The Cricketers Gift Box is what! Or what about a gift for your bestie when afternoons in the howling winter wind with thousands of other happy (or despairing) punters, and a collection of woolly scarves (all in the same colours) is all they've ever wanted? Th...e Footballers Gift Box is what! Both @sporting__nation packs feature a robust, sport-sized, everyday wash bag for the good sport in your life, a matching enamel mug and a no nonsense soap for no nonsense cricketers and footballers. We’ve got em! #footy #cricket #perfectgift #locallove

01.01.2022 This range of 4 Australian animal decorations capture the silhouettes of some of our most beloved creatures. Each design is laser cut from sustainably sourced Australian eucalyptus plywood and finished with a Christmassy red satin ribbon. These little beauties from @godogoodaustralia are perfect for sending to loved ones afar (we bet someone in SA needs cheering up this week), trimming the tree, creating a native wildlife garland for the front door, or as delightful Kris Kri...ngle or teacher thank-you gift. We love them! #christmasgifts #xmastreedecoration #locallove #aussieanimals Photos thanks to @godogoodaustralia
