The Whittaker's chocolate show at offerings are pretty good value and yummy too, at least at the Perth Royal show.

The only thing worth getting was the canvas bag and that wasn't worth the $20. I love chocolate, but I am more than happy with my jams instead. Just opened the marmalade yesterday, yum! :)

There used to be a decent lavender show bag at the Show here. Soap, moisturiser, shower gel, bath oil, talc and your choice of an extra item, though that was usually something silly like a bunch of dried lavender. There were also lavender sweets, though I never bought them. This year, no show bags at all and the lavender products were overpriced and not what I wanted.
