Merchandise Examples

Potoroo Celebrates Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games

Potoroo is a fine art and craft gallery located in Southgate and was chosen as an official licensee of Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games because all of our products are made right here in Australia by some of our talented artists and craftsmen.

As our range of official merchandise is handmade, they are limited in their numbers which offers Games enthusiasts something unique and collectable, with the majority of items being accompanied by an artist profile.

It is expected that 90,000 interstate and international visitors will descend upon Melbourne over the 2 week period of the Commonwealth Games, so don’t miss your opportunity to own a unique piece of memorabilia to commemorate this time in Melbourne’s history.

Our range of official licensed product includes; pewter Karak figurines, red gum wood Karak magnets, ceramic tile photo albums, hand-felted scarves, dichroic glass paperweights, sandstone ceramic pots and plates, “Celebrating Melbourne 2006″ limited edition prints and we will also be holding an exhibition with internationally renowned wildlife artist Paul Margocsy.

Corporate Gifts

Unique corporate gifts, professionally gift wrapped and delivered to your door!

Important information that could save you hours…

In the corporate world, there is an ever growing demand to provide unique gifts that offer something different to the standard corporate merchandise such as pens, mugs and calculators. Gifts that are eye catching and sometimes functional, as well as visual, more highly valued, and not just thrown away without even a thought as to where it came from.

Potoroo has been providing such gifts to those in the know for several years now.

How much precious time have you wasted in the past sourcing, purchasing and gift wrapping corporate gifts?

  • Sourcing – driving from shopping centre to shopping centre only to be disappointed by the lack of choice or suitability
  • Purchasing – waiting in queues to make your purchase, using your own credit cards or cash, waiting a few weeks to be reimbursed.
  • Gift wrapping – ok, so this doesn’t take too long, but how professional is your gift wrapping job? Remember, first impressions last…

We can provide gifts for:

  • overseas visitors & dignitaries
  • leaving staff
  • retiring staff
  • staff getting engaged or married
  • staff that should be rewarded
  • new clients
  • old clients
  • potential clients

Take a look trhough our gallery. Whether it be red gum desk accessories, document boxes, glass vases and platters, paintings of Melbourne trams or glass paperweights with your business logo - even things that don’t initially seem appropriate - with a bit of imagination you will discover that just about anything we have available can be tailored to suit your occasion.

We have also established relationships with a local engraver and are happy to do the leg work if you would like your corporate gift to be personally engraved, or to have a plaque to accompany it.

We have lots of ideas, so talk to us today, and let us provide you with all of your corporate gift solutions, without the worry of even having to leave your desk!

Note: Free standard courier delivery within the CBD with a minimum purchase of $100. Standard courier fees apply outside the CBD.
