This beautiful boxed set of note paper and envelopes is part of a new range we have just brought into our Sophie Randall stores. Boxed note paper makes for a good gift or for personal use. The box itself is nice and strong - it is a quality product.  Our customers tell us that it is not easy to find boxed notepaper - this is one reason we have chosen to specialise.

We have a range of poker sets in stock right now. These are a great gift for dad for Father’s Day. Poker is all the rage now what with then TV tournaments and the championships played at casinos around Australia. We have a nice poker set in a travel pack.

We have an excellent range of Father’s Day gifts at Sophie Randall.  These are in our window displays as well as further in our shops.  From mugs to books to journals to pens.  Just about every dad gift is covered with the wonderful range we have been able to find. The photo shows a small selection of what we have on offer.  Over the next two weeks I will include photos of more of our Father’s Day items.

Saturday tends to be children’s day at Sophie Randall. Parents visit with their kids and family and friends come in to buy for kids. While we are not a children’s shop as such, we do have a good range of gifts.  We tend to focus on good quality educational products for Children, like these flash cards. The flashcards in the range are a good way to teach counting, the alphabet and even words. They work as a good gift in any situation (family or friend), functional yet fun.

There are many cuddly plush animals in the Gund range and we have many of them at Sophie Randall. From the big bears taller than many people to small feelgood bears for your purse, they are a lot of fun. It is the quality we like the most - customers love the quality of the Gund product.

The new Mondo design on Corban and Blair albums and other products which we have just received is very attractive. As the packaging says, it is fresh, positive and stylish. The whole Corban and Blair range is stylish. I am glad we have it available at Sophie Randall stores.

We have taken delivery of some new cake designs  from our friends at b.gentle in Buninyong Victoria.  These handmade soaps are a very popular gift.  People often comment about how difficult it would be to shower with a slice of cake.  I am not about to try it.

We start putting our card range into our new Toorak location today.  We are on track to open in about a week from today.
