It is almost Brisbane Exhibition time, and that means Westerly winds, flu, Exhibition station finally gets some use, and Ekka Showbags.
Ekka Showbags are wonderfully overpriced must haves from the annual Brisbane show, and much like A Current Affair, it’s “value” is well overstated.
With kids who like stuff, who are we to say no to a wad and or plethora of Ekka Showbags.
But it’s not like this website to be comparing which of the Ekka showbags has the best value, best toy, or most obscure lolly included (actually that last one does sounds exactly like what we would do), we instead have come up with our own Alternative Ekka Showbag for those with alternative tastes.
The Gurgler Ekka Showbags Stand returns for 2018. Look for the stand with the giant Dapper Hat for value and something different.
