Christmas is coming

Gifts, entertaining, family, friends, a bit of a holiday. It is time for fun.



But first there is the organisation. Gifts? The last of our new Christmas stock is on the website including some of the really popular and topical food books. Annabel Langbein 'The Free Range Cookbook', Jo Seagar's latest book 'It's Easier Than You Think', Al Brown's award winning 'Go Fish' and even Alison and Simon Holst's classic for parents of young children 'Baby Food and Beyond'. Does this solve some gift problems for you?



Postage within New Zealand is free, so you can order up, they come individually wrapped ready to give away on the day.



"Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They are never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal" - Leonore Hershey

The best skin cleanser

There was a review of skin cleansers in NZ Herald yesterday. This skin cleanser is just as good, and most think its better as it has won an award. It is also half the price of most of those reviewed. It is hard to get sometimes, but we have it in stock - and postage within New Zealand is free.

Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey is one of the items we have been trying to source for some time. We now have delicious eating manuka honey, and the more expensive but unique medicinal manuka honey. Perfect for sending overseas for Christmas - except to Western Australia as they dont allow it in.

New Zealand is now renowned for this honey and its healing properties, although for the last century the farmers have called it 'scrub' and cut it, burnt it, cleared it and tried their best to get rid of it. Fortunately it regenerates easily and they failed to get rid of it all.

Also added to the website are really tasty chocolate logs. Made by Wickely Gourmet, which sums them up nicely. Not expensive but very good.

Its time to start thinking about sending presents overseas for Christmas. The closing dates for posting are on the website. If you cant find what you want on the website, let us know and we can try and find it for you. But please dont leave it until the last moment. Order and if it is for Christmas we can hold and post it on the closing day so that it doesnt arrive too early.
