25.01.2022 Storytime: We love watching young Harriet when she is choosing which cuddly treat she wants. She is in with mum each week and they have a tradition of one cuddly squishy character each visit. Weve not asked why, its none of our business. However, the purchase is clearly special and meaningful for them. Harriet picks up each character and hugs it, working her way along the row. Then, she goes back to two or three and then to two and, finally, to the one she wants. They all... feel different, Harriet said the other day. They speak to me. Her smile was wide and genuine. Harriets mum smiled a perfect mum smile. It was a treat to see. Who knew running a shop could bring so much joy every day. #hugs #love #squishy #comfort

23.01.2022 Storytime: We had a dad and his daughter of people in the shop the other day wearing Pokemon t-shirts and masks. They bought a bunch of Pokemon products. It was a joy to watch their excitement looking through the range. They talked about their favourite characters and even made some character noises. They were happy to be lost in the fantasy world of Pokemon, not worrying about anyone else. It was wonderful to see. Here in the shop we get to see many parent and kid interactions. It is wonderful getting to see shared love for something, like Pokemon the happiness and joy shared. Its like none of the other noise of 2020 mattered for the time they were here and in the Pokemon world. I feel really lucky on days like this, days we get to see such happiness. #love #parenting #happiness #Pokemon

23.01.2022 If you have friends and family in the UK, now is the time to buy their Christmas card and send it. We have a wonderful range of Christmas cards with Aussie icons and themes, designed to brighten their Christmas. With the news overnight of more Covid challenges, your card could be brightness they appreciate. #Christmas #SafeHugs

22.01.2022 Storytime: When we work out the Christmas cards we will have in the shop, we look at the charities they support as much as the card designs because we know plenty of people who make purchase decisions based on the charities. We are grateful to have Christmas cards that support Beyond Blue, the Starlight Foundation, the Peter Mac Cancer Centre, R U OK?, Make A Wish and more. These charities do good work and knowing that sending Christmas cards help them in their work is, we think, important to our customers. #DoingGood #Christmas #CharityCards

22.01.2022 Storytime: I remember the first letter I ever received in the mail. I was 5 and it was from my grandma and grandpa. It was a birthday card and a letter. They were on holiday and could not see me so they posted me a letter. It was exciting. Ive still got it, too. Thats why I do this. 80-something Jessica was explaining why she buys so many birthday cards for kids. It turns out she works with a couple of community groups and sends cards to kids. Secretly, I hope its the first letter they ever get, Jessica said, with a twinkle in her eye. There is no doubt that in 2020 cards have taken on greater importance. They are a perfect way for giving someone a safe hug. #Love #2020 #Cards #Letters #Hugs

21.01.2022 Storytime: One of the consequences of corona has been an increase in card sales, especially thank you cards, blank cards and birthday cards. People really are sending more cards. It started in back May and has continued ever since. I know some newsagents who have seen card sales increase more than 20%. Its probably to do with people not being able to be in front of each other as much. It kind interests me because in this time of technology, its good to see the old paper c...ard back in vogue. The way I see it, cause Im kind old-school like this, a card is like a hug, when you cant give someone a hug. The thing about a card is that it lasts well beyond the moment It is received. People often keep them, meaning the wonderful memory can be recalled years later.

20.01.2022 This is Buckley the Deer, a new member of the Ty family and just arrived in Australia. What a cutie. #deer #love #Christmas #Comfort #hugs

20.01.2022 We are thankful...

20.01.2022 Storytime: Some days, newsagents share the most heartwarming stories. A colleague shared this with me a few days ago. It chokes me up to think about it. Here is the story they shared A regular customer of mine, Viktor, put a small stack of cards on the counter, covering all the highlights of life: 18th birthday, 21st birthday, engagement, wedding, new home, first anniversary, second anniversary, a couple of new baby cards, some blank cards and a youve got this card. I kn...ew Viktor and said him thats a lot of cards there mate. He glanced at me before looking away, saying nothing. I scanned all the cards, worked out that he bought enough for a couple of free ones, gave him the discount and put the purchases in a bag. Viktor stood for a moment after paying. He took a breath, and told me the story. The cancer they thought was gone, is back, in a couple of other places. Six months, maybe a little more, they think. I figured cards are the best way I can be part of Mels life as she grows up. So, Im going home to write on these over the next few days and give them to Jill to give to Mel on each occasion. Its the best way I can be there for her. My heart was full on hearing Viktors story from my colleague and what he planned to do for his teenage daughter. #love #compassion #family

19.01.2022 Storytime: Happiness is infectious, and I can prove it. Recently, we put three of the happiest cards we could find at the counter. You didnt have to open them or read them to get happiness from them. It was there, on the front. They were perfect cards to give when you want to pass on happiness. We noticed customers notice the cards. We loved seeing their smiles. We loved, too, the comments about the cards. But, it was one customer, who gave is the most important feedback. You werent to know, but I needed that right now, she said, pointing at one of the cards as she was buying something else. It reminded us that we dont know how people really are sometimes, how they are doing and that they may need a hug. This happy card was that hug. We are so grateful to find out.

19.01.2022 Storytime: Terry was excited to show off the finished product, a beautiful wooden model steam train. Hed spent hours and hours on it. The result was a work of art. I told you Id bring it in and show you, Terry said with a wide smile. Terry placed the steam train on the counter. It was a stunner. It looked exactly like the photo on the box. Several customers congratulated Terry on his craft work. He was proud. A young boy, 10 or 11, asked Terry how he made it. Terry expl...ained as mum and dad looked on. We love it when customers bring back completed projects they bought from us. It is great to see the result, and to see other customers loving it too.

17.01.2022 Storytime: Thats a lot of Christmas cards, I said to regular customer Nancy, who is known as a big card giver. Yes, she said, pushing 15 boxes of 10 cards each across the counter, I have revised my list and added many people to it. Everyone needs Christmas cards this year, more than ever before. Good for you Nancy. As I bagged up the cards, Nancy explained. Id cut people over the years, pairing back and all that. But the other day I thought if people feel how I fe...el this year they would love to get a Christmas card and theyd love to get it early. So, thats what Im doing, spreading Christmas cheer early. Well done Nancy and thanks for shopping here for them. We appreciate every one of our local shoppers who support local community businesses. We are seeing everyday generosity from customers in their purchases with Christmas already popular and here we are only in September. People like Nancy are looking for ways to share joy and love with those they care about. It is wonderful to see. #Christmas #love #cards #hope #happiness

16.01.2022 Storytime: Towards the back of our shop, on a shelf that is somewhat hidden, we have foreign language newspapers. What we realised recently is that sales of these have surged through Corona. We should have noticed this before now. It was one of our customers who told us, who said how much their mum loved being able to read the news in her home country language. They were grateful that we kept stock of the title they wanted. The chat made us realise the importance of news and... newspapers, especially of foreign language newspapers in a period of big news, like we have seen in 2020. I felt embarrassed that we kind of hid the foreign language newspapers or at least did not treat them as well as we could have. We love hearing from customers about niche things, like foreign language newspapers. #news #corona #language

16.01.2022 Storytime: You may have noticed some holes in our magazine shelves recently. We want to take a moment to explain what is happening. In fact, several things are happening. Due to Covid, magazines are not being brought to Australia by plane, which is a good thing for the environment. Also, with advertising down, publishers are printing fewer copies, which results in less wastage, which is also a good thing. The last reason for empty spaces on our magazine shelves is you. Yes, you are buying more magazines, for which we are sincerely grateful. Crossword, puzzle, craft, hobby, food and special interest magazines are by far the most popular. We are glad to be able to play a role in helping you be entertained and connected in this isolated 2020. #magazines #crosswords #craft

13.01.2022 Storytime: I need a big jigsaw, like 5,000 pieces and its got to be hard, the harder to do the better. My 50-something customer the other day was clear in what they wanted. We looked through several jigsaws and eventually found a suitably difficult 5,000 piece jigsaw. This is perfect, she said with a big smile, not worried about the $170.00 price list. I can barely do a 500 piece jigsaw let along a 5,000 piece one, I said, as I bagged the jigsaw. Hell never finish i...t, she said. She could see I was confused. Its for my dad. He died after a long illness. Jigsaws were his thing. He loved them. I had promised to bury him with a difficult 5,000 piece jigsaw. This one is perfect. It will sit in the open coffin at the funeral. At the counter of the shop every day our customers surprise us with their stories and with how far they take us into their lives and how they express themselves to their loved-ones. Ive only ever seen a jigsaw as something to finish and here it is as a perfect memorial for a dad who will be missed. #jigsaws #sympathy #memorial #family #love

13.01.2022 Storytime: Looking at all the beautiful Australian designed Christmas cards this year we are so happy to have the work of Australian artists on our shelves. They work for months in their studios on their designs, bringing to life in art how people feel at Christmas time and the feelings they want to share with others. Seeing the work of these Aussie artists come to life in a whole range of cards is wonderful. We are so proud to stock so much Australian art. Our shop feels like an art gallery. We love it! #ChristmasCards #Aussie #Artists #Love #Art

11.01.2022 Storytime: We had a customer in the other day who made fun of our staff member who was wearing a mask. Covids not real, they said, Its a con. We dont like wearing masks. They are uncomfortable and hot. They can leave a rash. But, wed rather those things and be safe. We understand masks can make it harder to hear, and you dont get to see out toothy smiles know that under the mask, the smiles, and teeth, are still there. #safe #masks #healthy #smiles

03.01.2022 Storytime: We noticed a surge in diary sales over the last few weeks and did some checking. Sales are up compared to the same time last year. It seems there is considerable interest in 2021. Asking a girl in her twenties about why shes buying a 2021 diary, figuring that shed handle her appointments on her phone, her answer was wonderful. Its my wish book, she said, my book of hopes and dreams for a better a year, a full year. I love that, I said. Yeah, Im going t...o start writing in it now, kinda like a journal. It gets me thinking about the future. Who knew that a diary could be so much more than a place to record appointments. Here is it a book of hope and dreams, and 2020 is a year when we want those. Talking with a few more customers, it appears this is a bit of a thing. No wonder diary sales are good. #hope #dreams #2021 #love

02.01.2022 Storytime: Because, it makes me happy. Young George, around 6 years old, was hugging a multi-coloured sequin llama and answering his mums question about why he wanted it. His mum, Lisa, said he could have anything in the shop worth up to $30 for doing so well at his schoolwork. She was sure he was going to choose a couple of the Pokemon Pop Vinyls since he is Pokemon mad. Instead he chose Lola, the sequin flippable Beanie Boo. You still have $15.00 left do you want anything else. No, Lola is all I need. It makes him happy, Lisa said as she paid for Lola. We are finding that simple is loved by kids and simple can make them happy. Lola is like that. She is a cute and bright looking llama. I get why George told his mum because, it makes me happy.
