Don't want to use Paypal? No problem!

We've had quite a few requests from customers for another payment option besides Paypal on our website. So we have now added DIRECT DEPOSIT as a payment option. It's straight forward and easy to order and then pay using DIRECT DEPOSIT - you can either do EFT (internet banking) or go to a St George Bank branch near you to deposit the money. Just another way we're making things easier for our customers.

Also, today is the last day to recieve a $10 Gift Voucher from Harry's Rocky Road, when you order from our online store! Don't miss out! You don't have to order a blanky to receive the gift voucher - you can order a personalised cushion or scarf or beanie, anything!

What we've been up to in January

Well, as predicted, the year is zooming by! February already! We'd love sometimes to push the 'slow down' button, if there was one.

In January we had our fourth baby - a beautiful little girl! We're all totally smitten with her and adore her like crazy - you can get high from just smelling a newborn. She has already placed her blanky order :)

We also have heaps of exciting promotions and launches planned for this year, so watch this space - big news coming soon!
