Christmas Is Almost Upon Us

November 26th, 2007 by tonicgifts

Business is getting busier and the Christmas orders are coming in.  I have stocked up on more Christmas cards and wrap just to make sure we have enough.

I love this time of year.  I love buying gifts both for the business and for my family and some products are flying out the door as quick as we get them in.  I don’t mind this though - it enables me to see what is popular and then ...

Christmas

October 28th, 2007 by tonicgifts

The aisles are lined with Christmas goodies and I feel less than organised this year.  Oh well - whether I like it or not it is going to happen.  I am 3/4 of the way through my Christmas shopping which can only be a good thing and admittedly most of the things I purchased or intend to purchase from my own store - I mean why not?  I don’t have to worry about finding a place to ...

The Tshirts Have Arrived

September 30th, 2007 by tonicgifts

The first batch of our Ltd Chix tshirts have arrived from the states.  It is great to see that our hard work has come to fruition and that we have more to show for it than a big credit card debt. 

We have been busy number crunching and trying to come up with a price to suit both retailers and wholesalers (being us) and we think we have done it!! 

Our full range ...

A Bookshelf Shortage in Melbourne

September 26th, 2007 by tonicgifts

I have been trying to hunt down bookshelves in Melbourne for the last couple of months but there seems to be either a shortage or a conspiracy - not sure which.  I see bookshelves in the flyers teasingly enticing me to visit their stores and by the time I do, the stores in question are sold out.

Well to my surprise my parents visited today and dropped off not one but two bookshelves for the growing range ...

The warmer weather must be coming…

September 14th, 2007 by tonicgifts

I love adding new products - particularly the stock for spring/summer as that means that soon we will be inundated with sunshine and looking for ways to keep cool. The new Eternal range of clothing is particularly gorgeous and will ensure your little one remains cool on even the hottest days.

Spring for many means an abundance of rabbits and we have Tonic have experienced the same phenomenon.  Our new ...

What are mums for?

August 21st, 2007 by tonicgifts

After working on and off behind the scenes releasing our new website - we just felt that the software that we were using and the problems we were facing were just too problematic to contend with so we have reverted back to our old faithful site fore the forseeable future.  A lot of time and money was spent in the process but we felt that it was easier to start again and seek a designer who could ...
