Last Thursday, I had the privilege of attending the Sydney Royal Easter Show's showbag launch media event which you could say was like fulfilling a childhood fantasy! Imagine, all 302 showbags spread out in one giant hall... no crowds, no queues and plenty of time to snoop for new showbags as well as old classics. (Yep, I'm one of those people who never leave without a Bertie Beetle bag!)
As like last year and probably the year before, cooler bags seem to be a trophy item with showbags this year such as Dora the Explorer, Dare Iced Coffee, Nova, Dairy Farmers and a heap more including them in their mix. They must have discovered my reasoning pattern as anything functional gets big ticks from me.
Oh, and an exciting new one in the range is the Gossip Girl showbag which comes complete with B's headband! You know you want it!
I've also put together a short video for your very own sneak peek:
Check out the complete showbag catalogue on the official website. What showbags are you gonna get this year?

Ooo sounds like fun. I love all the dodgy things in show bags that break as soon as you get them home. I think a tip for the kiddies (and young at heart) is to get ones with as many lollies and chocolate as possible. Do they have a Gossip Girl show bag with a Chuck Bass scarf?
Haha, I was so disappointed last year when my radio shower died after a single use! Good advice, I always go for the food showbags too... I find that the magazine ones are just full of sample items and back issues. I won't be surprised if a Chuck Bass showbag is launched next year!
so was it all look and no touch? did you get to take any bags home with you? :-) i remember loving the Smiths bag!
Lots of touching on my behalf but I didn't take any home. It was much nicer what they did anyway - they invited sick kids from the Childrens Hospital to road test the showbags! :))
Hi Jen, love the new banner :) Love your work, like always. Reading your blog is my daily entertainment.
Aww thanks so much Aliza!
I had my eye on the Darrell Lea showbags
I wish I had of known there were other bloggers there - I would've scouted you out and introduced myself
Ah, I don't remember seeing the Darrel Lea ones! Pity we didn't get to meet either :(
Haven't been the the sydney show since the last Moore park one in 1997... so no, no showbags (unless someone wants to send me down a hello kitty one? )
wow that's a long time! it's changed quite a bit! more rides, trendier showbags...
hey if anyone has any ideas for showbags let me know
we are part of the creative team and looking for what you want in your showbags
What happens if the showbag you want is finished?
There's usually plenty of stock until the last day or so... I'd recommend going sooner than later!
Are you still going to be able to find the showbag you want on the last day of the show?
I hope so! A few had already sold out on the day I went but I'm sure it was just a temporary stock hold-up... I have my fingers crossed for you!
when you went was there a lot of diva and NY accessories left?
I went on Easter Monday so there was still plenty of everything :)
wow... nice homepage!!.
EASTER SHOW WAS DA BES!!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT 2 GO AGAIN NEX YR!!!
