We have expanded the range of albums at Sophie Randall, in all stores. We have albums for all sorts of occasions - engagement, wedding, baby, anniversary, special birthday or as a memory of someone passed. The range changes every week as we find new albums and retire others.
Change like this is important in […]

This old fashioned play scene is a great activity pack for kids through school holidays and rainy days when you want to keep them away from the computer games and other bits of electronics.  There is plenty of research to indicate that real activities are good for developing a child’s creativity and attention.  So, we […]

This is another perfect gift for a golfer. A cow golfer from the people at Cow Parade - another of their new line of cows. What a hoot, look at him! Club in his mouth. All dressed up for a game of golf. This is a perfect gift for a […]

The faces of some customers light up as bright as a Christmas tree when they see our range of carousels.  There is something about these gifts which make just about anyone smile, even those who have never been on one.  We find people buying them as gifts for all ages from infant through to grandparents.  […]


Playing at Forest Hill

Our Sophie Randall store at Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre in Melbourne is where we continue to play with what we do and how we do it.  It is where Sophie began last year so it makes sense that we test new products and concepts there before we roll them out across our stores.  Our […]

Work at our new Toorak location is progressing well.  We hope to be open in between five and six weeks time.  It is a challenge co-ordinating our builders, security system people, camera system people and others involved in turning our empty 60 square metres right on Toorak Road into something special.

Cards are a great way to say thank you to someone - for a gift, for caring or for being a good neighbour. The boxed thank you cards we have from Compendium are very popular. They are not overdone, just a straight up Thank You. Those two words say it all.
