Looking for Weekend Activities in Melbourne? Come visit us at South Melbourne Market!

We’re Popping Up at South Melbourne Market Next Week!

If you're on the hunt for what to do in Melbourne this June, and your reading list needs a little refresh, then we have some BIG news for you.

Next week, we are bringing the ultimate book gifting experience from online into the real world - for the first time EVER!

From June 17th to June 28th, we are hosting an exclusive pop-up stall at the iconic South Melbourne Market. Whether you’re looking for unique weekend activities in Melbourne, a cosy winter treat for yourself, or the perfect pop up book and gifting destination, our stall is the place to be.

So if you're a Melbourne-based existing customer, or a new face who wants to know what we're all about, then please come down and say 'hi'!

Across the two weeks we'll be putting on a selection of tasters so you can sample some of our bestselling products, from Loco Love chocolate to Teadrop teas.

And if that doesn't sell it to you - come down and spin our prize wheel to be in with the chance to win books, treats & more!

Where to Find Us

You can find us nestled inside the vibrant SO:ME Space (Stall 1), the market’s dedicated hub for emerging local designers and creative small businesses.

We are perfectly positioned right in the heart of the action, tucked beautifully between our lovely neighbours Ruby & Sky and The SuperCool. Just look for the books and delicious Australian-made treats.

Dates & Times

We will be trading across two full weeks of market days. Please note that while the dates run from the 17th to the 28th, we follow the standard South Melbourne Market trading days:

• Wednesday, June 17 & June 24: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

What We're Bringing

We don't want to put on just any stall; we want to create an interactive experience. At our stall, you can step up to our custom curation station and Build Your Own Booxie. It is the ultimate pop up book and gifting experience where you get to handpick every element to create a personalised box for yourself or a loved one. Just like our online builder, but choose between the products IRL! 

• The Books: From gripping new-release thrillers and heartwarming contemporary fiction to hidden indie gems.

• The Drinks: Cosy up with premium artisanal hot chocolates, specialty teas, and locally roasted coffee blends.

• The Snacks: Indulge in gourmet chocolates, crunchy biscuits, and savory treats perfect for a rainy weekend page-turner.

• Wellness Treats: Elevate your self-care routine with luxurious bath salts, soothing face masks, and scented candles.

If you're in a hurry, or just want the decisions made for you, then we'll also have two of our bestselling Curated Booxies available to pick up and go!

Once you've made your selection, bring them up to the counter and we'll beautifully gift wrap your Booxie, elevating your gift to the perfect 'unboxing moment'.

You can then choose from our selection of gift cards and handwrite your own personal message <3
