22.01.2022 If you haven’t purchased your 2021 calendar yet, you must WAIT for one of these!! New to Yakkity Yak and arriving in store very soon, are these beautiful calendars by Rhicreative. Also on their way, family planners and diaries!! Lets embrace 2021 with colour, fun and positivity and put 2020 behind us! They’d make a great gift for any age. Calendars $32.95, Family Planners $28.95 and Diaries $27.95. BTW who else has given up turning their calendar pages this year?!) Australian made and arriving soon!!

22.01.2022 There’s nothing better when your feeling a ‘little flat’ (due to all the Covid doom and gloom), than to open your shop doors and see two of your favourite people outside greeting you with BIG warm, friendly smiles!! I met Janet and Scott several years ago through the shop, and as a result they came on one of my treks to Nepal. I’ve been incredibly lucky to make friends with so many lovely customers over the years, and I look forward to reuniting with you all again! Hang in there Melbourne we can’t give up!!! (and incase you’re wondering, Scott was wearing a face covering and as he pulled it down to sip his coffee I took a quick pic ) #customerappreciation #dontgiveup #wewillbeback #lovemelbourne

21.01.2022 Shop will be open today, Saturday & Sunday 10.30am to 3.00pm. Plenty of time these days for any enquires, click and collect or post! Thank you for your ongoing support

20.01.2022 Wouldn’t mind be stuck indoors with that view!! We will be open today 10.30am to 1.30pm

20.01.2022 Colouring, reading, writing...why not, when you’re spending so much time at home!

Online orders welcome (post $9.20 for wraps only, colouring books will incur higher postage charge). #fairtrade #giftideas #supportsmallbusiness

20.01.2022 New product alert Arriving today, just in time for the cold snap are these deliciously warm alpaca socks from Humphrey Law. With overseas freight delays making business a little tricky at the moment, I looked a little closer to home and was delighted to find such a beautiful product made right here in Melbourne! Humphrey Law socks are also endorsed by ethical clothing Australia We have two sizes available for $28.50 a pair, and for stripe lovers we also have merino & baby alpaca socks $22.70 (in a beautiful array of colours too). If you can’t make it in store to grab a pair we are happy to post. #cosy #warm #comfy #dreamysocks #ethicallymade #australianmade #greatgift #supoportsmallbusinesses

18.01.2022 We were not surprised that our block print cotton robes sold out first time around! Made with soft Indian cotton and such pretty designs to choose from, each robe comes in its own matching bag making them a very special gift indeed! We’ve just had another shipment for those who missed out and this time we’ve added these gorgeous kaftans which are perfect for hot nights or over bathers at the beach! #ethicallymade #slowfashion #yakkityyak #giftsthattellastory #ethicalshopping #consciousconsumerism #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinessthischristmas #lochvillage

17.01.2022 Every now and then a product comes along that instantly grabs my attention (and surprisingly these are not from Nepal!). Single Use Multiverse earrings did just that!! Not only was it those gorgeous colours, I think it’s utterly fantastic how these earrings are made! 100% recycled single use plastics, such as shampoo bottles, milk bottle lids, play doh lids, baby formula lids and milk cartons is what is used to make these fabulous earrings! They are ethically made right here in Melbourne and you will be keeping them out of landfill by wearing them! Perfect for jazzing up your zoom meetings! Earrings start from $22 (triangle studs) to $66 (for the Shimmy Shimmy Dangles).

03.01.2022 Finally a package from Nepal!!! It’s been a long time, but things are starting to move again! What a challenging year it’s been. Initially opening my shop to support Nepal, it’s been a stressful time wondering where all this was heading ...workers in lockdown, freight restrictions..but just receiving this package from Samunnat Nepal is like a big ray of hope! In order to help my business survive this tricky time, I had also stocked ethical products from small businesses base...d in Australia and for those businesses we are grateful and we will continue to support you!
