To celebrate the 110th anniversary of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, www.peterrabbit.com has been re-launched. The global website features a brand new design and features including an interactive timeline of Beatrix Potter's life, fun and games for children to enjoy and free resources for teachers. There is an Australian component to the website, so we can all stay up-to-date with all things Peter Rabbit in our market.

2012 marks an exciting time for ABC’s hottest children’s licensed property - Giggle and Hoot - and for leading plush toy distributor, Jasnor.

Previously exclusive to ABC Shops & Centres, a selected range of Jasnor’s Giggle and Hoot plush toys and accessories will be available to the wider market from February 2012. Jasnor is thrilled to be launching its superb collection of Giggle and Hoot merchandise to its valued independent customers, as there continues to be high demand in the Australian market from Giggle and Hoot fans both young and old.

For the retro and vintage ladies at heart, we’re excited to present you a new range of 50’s era-inspired ceramic tabletop and giftware pieces - called Retroflection - that will let you host a truly retro tea party!

The collection includes a range of retro icons and symbols that have been given new life as ceramic teapots, tea-for-one sets and a variety of giftware in gorgeous pastel colours. 

2012 marks the 110th Anniversary of 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' by Beatrix Potter, published in 1902. This beloved book has transported countless children to Mr McGregor's vegie patch for over a century. Now Peter Rabbit is set to reach a new generation with this classic stage production that kids (and parents and grandparents!) will love!

Adapted by Australian writer and award-winning producer Garry Ginivan and with an original score by Mark Jones, fans can celebrate the 110th Anniversary of Beatrix Potter’s beloved classic with 'Happy Birthday Peter Rabbit', a mischievous musical about the world’s most loveable bunny.

Jasnor are proud to be appointed the distributors of premium plush, nursery items and stationery from the award-winning and highly successful Hello Kitty brand.

The brand has performed exceptionally well in the European and UK markets, and is set to achieve the same success here in Australia and New Zealand. Hello Kitty recently walked away with three awards including Best Character and Toy Brand Program for 2011 at the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Association (LIMA) Expo held in Las Vegas last month.

The new range of Pigment Production mugs have more attitude and cheek than they appear. Look closer and read each statement and you can’t help but smile, and bring to mind a person that the mug is suited for.

Everyone knows the perfect ingredients for a scrumptiously sweet pie or a toasty warm cup of tea – a pinch of sugar and a dash of spice – topped off with a loving hug from grandma or grandpa!

Grandparents are known for giving a pinch on the cheek, now they come a little bit tongue in cheek with the new Well Seasoned range of home and giftwares, including Message Blocks that can be personalised when you write your message on the back template, mugs, cooking utensils and assorted table top items.
