Want to buy a showbag at this years Royal Adelaide Show that is loaded with practical quality goods, offers something for ALL of the family and oozes bang for buck? Buy South Australian. It might even help you pack the school lunches next week?
We found it really hard to pick a selection of bags to review this year, show bags are just so much fun, but we know know they are mostly full of rubbish and plastic (that will take up to 500 years to break down). The expense is a killer and it is and almost impossible to choose given there are over 400 on offer this year!
SO….our team decided the smart thing to do would be to 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. Here is some value bags we are giving a big tick, that will keep every one happy (our school lunch boxes have never looked better!)
By supporting South Australian, we are doing our bit and teaching our kids the value of local. So here are our top picks for a family showbag (or showbag alternative) that will have you feeling good about your mindful purchase.
