What’s in a Showbag? Why the Nostalgic Showbag Box Still Hits Different

Ask any Aussie kid what the best part of the Royal Show was, and odds are they’ll say one word: showbags. Not the rides, not the dagwood dogs — the moment you handed over your money and walked away with a crinkly plastic bag full of pure sugar-fuelled joy.

It didn’t even matter if the showbag was good — it was the experience. The mystery. The chaos. The loot. Now, you can relive that feeling (without needing to elbow your way through a crowded pavilion) with our Nostalgic Showbag Gift Box.

🎪 A Trip Back to the Royal Show

This box is our love letter to the 90s showbag aisle — the lolly one, not the ones full of weird branded water bottles. Inside, you’ll find old-school Aussie favourites: Red Skins, Milkos, Fads, Sherbies, and more. It’s basically your tuckshop dreams, all in one box.

🎉 The Element of Surprise

One of the best things about showbags was not knowing exactly what was inside — but being thrilled anyway. While we don’t hide what’s in our box (no one likes unexpected liquorice), we do pack it to give you that same hit of excitement when you open it.

💌 Gift It or Keep It (We Don’t Judge)

Whether you’re sending someone a cheeky throwback or keeping it all to yourself, this box is a total crowd-pleaser. It’s perfect for birthdays, thank you gifts, or just saying, “Hey, remember these?”

🛍️ Packed With Care, Delivered Anywhere

All our gift boxes are packed by hand in our stall at the Adelaide Central Market — where The Old Lolly Shop has been since 1906. We ship across Australia with flat rate delivery, and orders over $100 ship free. No crowds, no queues, no overpriced show food.
