It’s that time of year again, the chickens are squawking, the cows are mooing, the cakes have been decorated and the night’s sky is illuminated by fireworks – the Sydney Royal Easter Show has come to town. And with the Easter Show comes the timeless question – which showbag?
Kids go wild over them and we secretly love them too. We’ve rounded up our top picks at this year’s showbag pavilion, so you can zip in and out knowing that you’ve got the best of the bunch.

For Her:
ModelCo Showbag – At $25, the ModelCo Showbag costs less than one ModelCo Lashxtend Mascara ($28) which just happens to be included in this year’s silver tote bag. Along with your mascara you’ll receive a range of ModelCo products including their infamous Tan in a Can. The total retail value of the bag is $233, so you’re sure to get your money’s worth.
Oreo Showbag – When else will you have the excuse to buy every possible flavour of Oreo’s all at once? With mint, chocolate, strawberry and white chocolate varieties, it’s like raiding the bikkie aisle of the supermarket, and all in the name of Easter!
For The Kids:
Sesame Street Showbag – Whilst many of the kids bags are packed full of bouncy balls and flimsy toys, the Sesame Street ensemble includes a collection of items that will come in handy long after the Easter Show has come and gone. With a backpack, poncho, beanie and water bottle (to name a few) this bag is an investment that won’t end up in the bin.
The Natural Confectionary Company Showbag – It’s almost impossible to avoid filling the kids up with junk food at the easter show, so why not do what you can and choose lollies that have no artificial colours or flavours? The Natural Confectionary Company Showbag contains $18 worth of confectionary for just $10, which is a bigger margin than many of the other sugary bags.
For Him:
Tim Tam Showbag – He’ll love the collection of Tim Tams as well as the slippers and travel mug that complete this bag. These are whole packets of Tim Tams (no sneaky single serves!) so you’ll be sure to get a bite out of this delicious bag too!
All American Sampler Showbag – This showbag offers something different from the familiar range of sweets and savouries that line the shelves of your average Australian convenience store. With treats such as Extreme Buffalo Wings Pringles, Pop Tarts and Dr Pepper, surprise him with a pig out that he may not have tried before. At $20 this showbag includes $50 of scrumptious snack food.
For Something Different:
The Krabooz Showbag – This showbag comes with everything a child needs for responsible hermit crab care, including a live hermit crab! From food to a silicon pool and a portable plastic home for the crab to live in, Krabooz have got it covered when it comes to easy, low maintenance pet care that makes learning responsibility fun.
