Perfect Picnics
Melamine plates and cups coupled with a sturdy thermos and reusable food storage containers make for the perfect way to pack and serve your picnic. To save time designate a hamper or bag to store your picnic ware, toss in a Swanndri picnic blanket and you’re ready for the park, pool, beach or bay.
Ready For The Rellies
Keep the freezer stocked with Angel Bay patties, chicken kebabs, lasagne slabs, cake and cheesecake slabs, savouries and bacon & egg pie and you’ll be prepared for a relaxed lunch or dinner when relatives drop by.
Check our grocery section here, or come in store to stock your freezer for the summer ahead.
Gorgeous gifts
Candles, diffusers, soaps, hand cream and body wash are a special way to say thank you to someone this Christmas. Have a few extras in your gift drawer and you’ll always have a treat for someone, even at the last minute!
