A sure-fire hit with kids, the new Uncle Tobys Puffs bars contain no artificial colours or flavours and are available in Berry, Choc and Caramel flavours. The puffed wheat bars are 35 per cent wholegrain, so they are a healthier snack option, too. But that’s not all! Also look out for the new LeSnak of the World cheese dips with crackers. Available in a range of international flavours, including our favourite Aussie BBQ dip made with 100% real cheese.
For 30 years Redkite has been helping Australian children and young people with cancer and their families, offering essential emotional, financial and educational support through every stage of the cancer journey. In January this year, we partnered with them, pledging to help Redkite help the 11,000 children and young people in Australia who are cancer patients or survivors by raising $5 million for the charity in 2013. We’re happy to announce we’re well on the way to achieving this target with our customers and team members helping to raise over $2.5 million for Redkite so far.

There’s shapewear, too, including a high-waist shaper and tummy control boyleg brief.
