Each week night (except Fridays) at around 7:40pm there will be a post keeping you up to date with daily specials, featured products and my favourite new toys that come in stock, as follows:
Monday Night: Online Special
Tuesday Night: Play of the Day
Wednesday Night: Favourite New Toy
Thursday Night: Weekend Shop Special
Incentive to Keep Updated
If I forget to post a special:
The first person to notice & remind me gets 20% off a LWT item of their choice.
If I make a grammatical/spelling error:
The first person to notice & remind me gets 10% off a LWT item of their choice.
T&C’s:
* Posts will be up by 8:00pm each weeknight as specified (give me a chance to get the little ones to bed first).
* The first person to catch me out must notify me with a post on my Fb page, not text mag, phone call, email or personal message.
* Only one ‘winner’ per forgotten post/mistake
* ‘Winner’ must claim prize on the day that I acknowledge post by emailing tash@littlewoodentoybox.com.au with the toy of their choice. I will then invoice the ‘winner’ for payment. Postage $10.00 or pickup from Fremantle, markets or shops available but must be specified in email, otherwise default postage will be charged.
Keep LWT Open!
This is something I have debated doing but here goes; I am asking for your help and your support to keep my fantastic little shop in Fremantle open.
In all other areas, Little Wooden Toybox is doing exceptionally well considering it has only been operating for less than 18 months.
However, sales are disappointing in the shop and at this stage the shop will not be remaining open in 2013. But you can help me change this!
I believe that Little Wooden Toybox offers a quality range of wooden toys and educational resources to suit everyone's budget this Christmas. All we need are a few more customers each day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to keep this little shop open and operating well into 2013.
I believe our customers have the right to know the situation of the shop, and have the chance to make a difference!
I simply ask that you consider doing some of your shopping at the Little Wooden Toybox store in Fremantle (E Shed Markets) this Christmas!
Thank you in advance! ox

I would like to quickly add that there is now a way to keep you updated with LWT posts in your Facebook News Feed. Simply hover over the ‘Like’ button and select ‘Add to My Interests’ as shown in the left hand column of this email.
I am hoping these changes will make the LWT website easier to navigate, especially when buying gifts for children of certain ages.
These changes are active on the website now but will most likely be affective in the shop, at markets and in printing in 2013.

This title actually came about by accident... It was supposed to be the name of my first post, however, it seems quite appropriate to be title for the whole blog.
Here you will find my rantings, venting, thoughts and feelings on daily life to do with family, austism, business and whatever other random thing that happened that day/week/month.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts, comments and suggestions regarding posts and what you would like to hear more of!
I will post again soon, after catching up with the website & Facebook specials!
