Not everyone can afford or wants the latest phone, we get that, but there’s a lot to be said for getting the folks involved in a good Whatsapp session. The thing is their old school bricks aren’t all that accommodating, meaning they’re left to trawl your Facebook account clicking ‘like’ and commenting on every single post that you’re involved with.

There is an easier way, and who doesn’t want to play the role of heroic offspring right? Why not hook them up with a Nokia Asha 502 or Nokia Lumia 520 8GB, the perfect phones to introduce them to the technology those young folk seem to love so much. Your two options as follows:

R649 for a Demo: Nokia Asha 502 (R999 value)
R1 199 for a Demo: Nokia Lumia 520 8GB (R1 799 value)

Now don’t get spooked by the word ‘demo’, these are brand new phones that have been returned by customers to networks within seven days of purchase. These phones are fully inspected and tested by qualified engineers and are as good as new, you’re just getting some money knocked off because someone drove it off the showroom floor.

You can read all about those different models HERE and pick which one best suits your needs.

Now that you’ve looked after the old toppies how about showing your pets some love? Now you can choose from a variety of assorted treat hampers, sorted into bags that are tailored for the size of pet and their age. They contain chewy treats, toys and pet accessories, with the final product beautifully packaged in an eco-friendly bag.

The goodie bags start from R250 and are sorted into puppy, dog, kitten and cat categories.

There’s no shame in treating your pets like royalty, but if you dress it up and start carting it around in a carry bag we may have lost you to the dark side.
