A beautifully illustrated story that brings children aged 1 to 100 back to the heart of why we celebrate Christmas. Why do I receive a present on Christmas Day when it's not my birthday? Why do we go to church on Christmas Day? Is Christmas all about presents, jingles and merry-making? Or is there something deeper, more magical to this timeless and beloved season that is waiting to be discovered? See if you can spot one of our favourite friars, Fra Rowland Yeo OFM, illustrated in this beautiful book that will be treasured for generations to come!


#9 Broccoli Microgreens Growing Kit
@$12 OR 2 for $20

Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 2.5–7.5 cm tall. They have an aromatic flavour and concentrated nutrient content. The nutritional value of the broccoli microgreens is about 40 times that of the full grown vegetable! They have a much shorter growth cycle and are usually harvested 7 days after germination, once their first true leaves have emerged.
