Feel-good new car handover experience
Yesterday I witnessed a colleague pick up a new Ranger from this dealership, and I was amazed at how much trouble they went to. From the covering on the vehicle, to the red ribbon, the music, the congratulatory sign, the alcohol-free bubbly and the comprehensive explanation of all the bells and whistles, this is how I'd want to feel when buying a car. Everyone in the dealership was so happy for my colleague, and all round, it was a really happy experience. Well done guys!

Brilliant service from Spec-Savers Woodmead
Thanks to Spec-Savers Woodmead, my broken glasses have been fixed when I was convinced I'd have to shell out a fortune for a new pair. Everyone at the branch is great. Sindisile Xulu is super-friendly and explained how and why my eyes were in good shape even if I'm almost as blind as a bat. Your receptionist, whose name I didn't catch then found a solution for my broken glasses, asking her boyfriend to come in and fit my lenses to a new pair. I even discovered that I had R240 in rewards points to use against the price of the new frames. I am incredibly grateful to them for making my life a whole lot easier and less frustrating. Thank you!

I am in love with these South African sneakers
I've seen the Drip sneakers on their standout yellow billboards for weeks now, and finally I decided: I neeeeeed to own a pair of these. They're going to be my new job gift to myself. So yesterday I ordered a pair, and within 24 hours, they were delivered. Absolutely no issues along the way (unlike a current multinational I have headaches with). The sneakers are gorgeous, I'm very excited about wearing them when representing my employer, and they represent everything that's great about good business. They're incredibly comfortable, look good, and they're about supporting township entrepreneurs. I can't wait to see this brand taking on the world.

I am addicted to Westpack
This is a mostly positive review for a store I generally try and avoid, because I have something of a Westpack addiction problem. So much plastic! So many Useful Things! So many toys and crafts and stickers to buy for my child who will use them once and promptly lose them! I recommended Westpack to my stepdaughter for pet supplies and she was very pleased with the prices and quality #WIN I love the range and choice of storage products, even though it can be overwhelming. Westpack’s mailers are also mostly good, which isn’t easy in a world of email overload, and I find myself not actively hating them (which is something, because I end up hating the mails I get from other retailers). Thank you Westpack, for making it less of a crisis when we lose our tupperware lids.

Playmobil, the plastic toy that isn't a four letter word
Dare I start a Playmobil vs Lego debate? I loved Playmobil as a child, and now I’m loving how much joy my 5 year old gets from her Playmobil. (Confession: I actually buy it for myself). What I love about Playmobil is that it’s simple to put together, the pieces click in a satisfying way, and most importantly, most of them are NOT TOO SMALL (unlike a certain other brand of plastic construction toy). The other day, I gave my child a police helicopter (I love helicopters thanks to Airwolf) and we had loads of fun putting it together and then chasing imaginery criminals. Importantly, she gets to play with it without my having to freak out about where all the pieces have gone which is a #WIN. Yes, there have been some casualties – a hat here, a tiny plastic gun there – but on the whole, it’s manageable. Thank you Playmobil for not driving me up the wall.

Go visit the 737 outside the Clicks at Fourways Mall
I have a love-hate relationship with Fourways Mall. I used to shop there often. Then the construction happened and it became unbearable. Now, I’ve ventured back, partly because it’s close to my child’s school and former workplace, and partly because I drove my parents to get their vaccinations there. It has a good range of the obvious, big retailers, but also some smaller, intriguing ones. The access road over Witkoppen is a huge plus, as I can avoid the taxis on William Nicol/ Fourways Boulevard as well as the horror show that is Cedar Road #WIN. Importantly, whenever I’ve visited, the mall is virtually empty. This is a definite plus in a pandemic. I enjoy walking around – it’s a handy way to get exercise – and I never fail to pay my respects to the 737 that sits, permanently grounded, outside the Clicks. I’ve had one bad experience there recently, when a security guard told me I was not allowed to sit down on a bench (huh?) But apart from that, it’s been generally positive. If you want to wander around a museum documenting the world we took for granted before Covid hit, you could do worse than walk around Fourways Mall.

Wonderful children's section at Fourways Mall branch
There’s something strange about shopping in a mall during a pandemic. There’s a long, long queue for the vaccine, and the shops are all empty. (This is a good thing, actually. Nobody wants a retail superspreader event.) I popped into Exclusive Books Fourways Mall without intending to buy anything, but their children’s book section is so lovely and appealing that I couldn’t resist, especially because there was a special offer on a book I’d been eyeing for my daughter. I look forward to a time when kids can hang out and enjoy books in stores again. #WIN

Buccleuch Kwikspar for amazing buckets of cheese*****
The Kwikspar in Buccleuch is my local convenience store. I love it because it’s close by, and it stocks most of the things I need, and some I didn’t know I did. Like those giant buckets of cheese *****, which are a new addiction of mine. The store is attractive and clean (even though the centre it’s in is not – everyone driving past on the highway must marvel at how disrep it looks). The cashiers are always friendly, which is my test for a good store. #WIN

Tops Buccleuch for all your dooswyn needs
Tops Buccleuch is my go-to for large quantities of rose dooswyn (I have very bad taste in wine). In these times of lockdowns, you definitely cry over spilled wine, and having Tops Buccleuch down the road is a #WIN. It’s not in the most preposessing centre, they have what I need, and most importantly, the staff are friendly. Also, their price for Overmeer Firebird 5 litres is very good.
