Kids (and big kids) LOVE SHOWBAGS! Who else remembers obsessing over the showbag guide whey they were younger? Circling the must-haves with a neon highlighter, using a calculator to add them up and make sure they fit in the pocket money budget.

This year some of the Kids in Adelaide kids have been lucky enough to get a sneak peek at some of the showbags on offer at this year’s Royal Adelaide Show and below are 10 we think will be on the highlighted lists this year. Don’t forget, if you can’t make it to the Show this year, all of these showbags are available to purchase online at www.showbags.com.au. They’re a great idea to put away for Christmas or an upcoming birthday and there’s even a few that would make a great Father’s Day gift!

Fizzer Showbag
$7

At just $7 we think the Fizzer showbag will be right up there with the most popular bags this year. A great mix of chewy, fruity and fizzy candy in a range of fizzy flavours. Over 30 in fact!

Nerds Showbag
$15

Another one for the lolly lovers the Nerds showbag is full of the tiny, tangy and crunchy candy that Nerds fanatics love. 3 boxes of Nerds, plus a Nerds rope and 8 assorted mini Nerds boxes. 

Cadbury Dairy Milk Superbag
$12

This bag is basically Cadbury heaven for chocolate lovers of all ages! Treat yourself or someone special to the milky, delicious goodness that is Cadbury chocolate. From good old Dairy Milk to Twirls and Cherry Ripes – we love them all.  I’ll be putting this one away for me – sorry kids!

Darrell Lea Liquorice Showbag
$25

A must have showbag for the liquorice lovers and also an excellent Father’s Day gift idea the Darrell Lea Liquorice Showbag contains an assortment includes of Liquorice,  Liquorice Twists, Raspberry Twists, Milk Chocolate Liquorice Bullets, Liquorice Allsorts and a Liquorice Milk Block. 

 Bluey Showbag
$35

Kids around Australia are barking mad for Bluey and we get it, it’s a pretty awesome show. 

A great option for the younger kids, this showbag packs in punch in terms of value for money. Contents include; the cutest Bluey backpack you ever did see, a plastic cup, a bucket hat (also pretty darn cute!), silly straws, a sticker pad, a colouring pad, and a set of 3 lunch boxes – soo many awesome goodies!

$71.55 worth of stuff all packed inside a reusable tote. 

Hot Wheels Showbag
$35

If showbags had a top speed, surely this one would reach it. The Hot Wheels show bag comes with a cool backpack, cap, coloring book, poster,  keyring, slap band, sticker sheet and of course a couple of Hot Wheels cars! 

Pokemon Jnr Showbag
$35

It’s hard to imagine that, just over 25 years ago, nobody in the world knew who Pikachu was. Fast-forward to today, and you’ll find traces of Pokemon all over the place. It’s pretty safe to say, this bag will be a winner! 

The highlight is the backpack, because once you’ve caught em’ all, you’ll need sufficent storage right? This bags a great size for school. There’s a heap of other cool stuff too like a drawstring bag (which would double as a wet or library bag), a hard pencil case, window decals, a set of badges and of course, a pack of Pokemon cards! 

Hello Kitty Showbag
$35

If you’ve never heard of Sanrio you might do after a walk through the showbag hall at the Royal Adelaide Show this year. Sanrio’s best-known character is Hello Kitty and fans will love the Hello Kitty showbag full of cute, kawaii Hello Kitty items including purse, drink bottle, duffle bag, socks, stickers and more. Check out other novelty showbags from the Sanrio brand below.

Kuromi Showbag
$35

Another one for the anime lovers. This bag is packed with an array of adorable Kuromi-themed goodies, including a bracelet, cozy eye mask, drink bottle, hair clip, handbag, headband, necklace, socks. Embrase the dark side of cuteness with Kuromi.

Cinnamoroll Showbag
$35

You might not have heard of Cinnamoroll but your kids probably know ALL about this cinnamon roll tailed, white fluffy puppy from Japanese manga cartoons. This showbag is right up there on the cutest scale with its fluffy slippers and headband as well as lots of other Cinnomoroll jewellery, stationery and other goodies.

We LOVE that the majority of these come in reusable tote bags (meaning less plastic). And what’s even better is if you can’t make it to the Royal Adelaide Show this year, all of these showbags are available to purchase online at www.showbags.com.au

Enter our list of fantastic South Australian Show Bags. We found it really hard to pick a selection of mainstream bags to review this year (there must be over 400 on offer), so following the recent Buy SA for SA week we have decided to ditch the plastic rubbish and crap food and just narrow it down to some South Australian bags, that are not only loaded with treats and practical quality contents, the value for what you are actually getting is exceptional.
