After many years in the hospitality industry and Christmas days spent with other peoples families in restaurants all around Australia…I began to lose the spirit of Christmas….(time with family and friends and a time to reflect)…..so from the outset of GumDrops’ opening I made a decision that we would be closed on Christmas and Boxing Day!!! Yes, quite a controversial decision in the retail industry….trust me I have copped the slack!!!! For our 3rd year running my team will have 2 days to enjoy relax and reflect……and in the spirit of Christmas, I HOPE YOU DO TOO!!! Please have a safe and happy holidays!!!

Hunter Has Been Hunted!!!

Monday, December 7th, 2009

To the point of extinction…..yes it is true……everyone who carries Hunter Nationally are scrambling to find stock…..

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it; the Hunter inventory we booked to get us through the Christmas season was sold in 2 days towards the end of October…..so we ordered more, that was also sold in a few days, and we order more, again SOLD……I try to order more mid November but Hunter informs me that the is ABSOLUTELY NO STOCK in Black for women, Chocolate there may be 1-2 odd pairs, and the hot colour of the season, Aubergine….keep dreaming…that is also completely gone…..So with the silly season fast approaching and Hunter being the hot ticket this year to all you peeps who are planning on getting that special someone a gift of style and practicality….I urge you to buy it now……I know the weather is nice….no rain in sight….but I guarantee you when that rain hits you will be duking it out with all the other people who have left it to the last minute……and I can tell you it is not a pretty sight in the store when hunter has been hunted, and people are hunting people; especially those who have the last coveted pair of boots in hand…..with a decision still to be made on which ones to get!!! DON’T BE DISAPOINTED……GET SHOPPING NOW!!!!

If you happen to miss out on the classic Hunter boots, we are planning on getting more sometime in Feb (Please note that this is an estimated time of arrival) hopefully in time for the Olympics…..I also suggest some other killer brands in store now too…..

Kamik, Bogs, Tretorn, DAV, Lattitude
