Are you ready for this, frankie fellows? Issue 81 has landed in Australia today, and you might need a crane to get it home from the shops. Our special bumper issue is chock full of extra-fun things, like a neato poster from Hiller Goodspeed; pull-out wrapping paper designed by the team at Home-Work; a special section of scrummy breakfast recipes for every mood; and our whopping big 2018 wall planner. Phewph!

Also on the menu: an introduction to the fine folks who’ll be judging your Good Stuff entries this year (it’s back!); artists doing way more with paper than making basic planes and cranes; a little look at what giggling means, biologically speaking; and some handy-dandy tips for sending insomnia on its merry way. There’s a group of rebellious Kiwi seniors who are laughing death square in the face; sweet duds to wear when you’re off to the seaside; and a club that’s all about exploring big feelings. Plus, snazzy tea towels – and lots of ‘em. Add to that all the usual craft, design, music, fashion, real-life reads and beaut photography, and you’ll be all set for summer holiday reading material. Enjoy!
