Roll up, roll up! It’s showtime!! Well, it’s nearly showtime, as the Royal Canberra Show is set to hit EPIC February 21st to 23rd.

With rides, animals, produce and competition on display – there really is something for everyone at the Show. But let’s be honest – we are there for one reason and one reason only.

Show bags.

It’s the one decision each year that almost takes you the whole year to make. What show bag am I going to get? And how many?!

Well, the team at RoundABOUT have gotten together to tell YOU what they look for in a show bag, so hopefully your decision is more easily made.

• Quality Over Quantity.

I know, I know. We love LOTS of things, give me all the things! Alas, sometimes we need more quality items rather than a sheer majority. Keeley from our sales team says that she looks out for quality items and not “stuff she isn’t going to use”.

• Good Lollies

For Matt, our Sales Manager, he’s going straight for the sweet stuff and looking out for the show bag with the best (and most!) sweetie treaties.

• Exclusivity 

I want the most exclusive show bag! The one that not many people have! Anything to feel a little special and like you’re in a secret club. I’ll even take the worst seller – I don’t mind!

• Affordability

In these trying times, we’re looking for a bargain! Especially if you have multiple bags to buy. Getting better bang for your buck requires a little bit of study. Lucky you can check out all the show bags here.

• The Nostalgia Factor 

This is particularly for the adults, or the young at heart. We’re looking for the stuff we used to get as kids! Bertie Beetle anyone?

So, there’s just some tips ahead of the show. Mix 106.3 and Hit 104.7 will be there – will you?
