At Long Last And Yet So Soon

Finally, our new friends have arrived!  Jack and Jill Husky have survived their travel down under and are happy in their new home.  They are absolutely adourable - cuter than I ever thought they would be.  As far as I know, Mel and I are officially the first in Australia to own Jack or Jill.  Althought it’s nice, it’s also a little sad that others cannot enjoy the cuteness.

In our best Nici shops here, we have JUST got the Verano Caliente range.  Also, we miss out on heaps of other Nici things that is available overseas but is just too expensive to be worthwhile over here.  Many owners of a Nici toy in Australia probably don’t realise that Nici make stationary, mugs, bags and cushions.  Plenty of things you can have in the office and not look strange; let’s just say manly plush love is not commonly expressed though I know men do have plush love.

Hopefully, one day, I can either convince Nici to start a shop in Australia or do it for them!  Then we would see more Aussies loving Nici (simply through exposure) and we would also open the eyes for many Australian Nici lovers who think that Nici is just cute plush.

Jack & Jill - coming to a hill near you soon

The first images of Nici’s new winter collection are out. Jack and Jill husky are to be released in September in Europe (probably a longer wait for us ‘down south’). Last year the winter collection was the reindeer and bunny which you can still find in shops in Australia now (our local Myer store STILL has stock mostly because they have hidden them away in the back of the shop where no one looks) so hopefully when these guys are released in Australia they will stick around so everyone can buy one … or many.

Some of us are too excited for words and are going to import ours from the UK as soon as we can - for some unknown reason importing from Germany is too expensive albeit possible.  Though our supplier in the UK is usually very prompt with their new arrivals and often allow pre-orders on their site.

And now, meet Jack and Jill.
