Fans for these warm days and nights

Fiona from Henderson

As the days seem to be a wee bit warmer, if not stickier due to the humidity, there is a mad dash to anyone who is selling electric fans and so many stores are finding themselves caught short - strange but true for the summer period.

As the days seem to be a wee bit warmer, if not stickier due to the humidity, there is a mad dash to anyone who is selling electric fans and so many stores are finding themselves caught short - strange but true for the summer period.

The obvious places to look would be: The Warehouse, Kmart, Bunnings, Mitre 10, Farmers but DON'T FORGET The Clearance Shed: theclearanceshed.co.nz...
I was there a couple of days ago for something else and they had boxes and boxes of them. This was the branch off Lincoln Road, on Moselle Ave (Behind The Warehouse).

I purchased a great wee one, a USB desk top or handheld one for $10 from The Gift Store in the Westcity mall: www.west-city.co.nz... - and it's better than the tall fans as this one produces colder air ... sheer bliss :)
