New products added


Lots of new products on the website recently.

The New Zealand luxurious olive range of Tebe skincare is very popular luxurious skincare. It is made just south of Auckland on the olive plantation itself. We have included the Tebe moisturising shower gel, the flowing soap handwash and a really great gift for travellers, the Tebe Boarding pack. This has shower gel, moisturising milk, shampoo, conditioner and soap all within the hand luggage limit.

Now my mother-in-law, Les, was the first person I knew who raved on about Queen Anne chocolates. Very popular in the 1950s and 1960s - but then they stopped making them. They were made by Ernest Adams and now the granddaughter of Earnest Adams is making them again. They are made to the original recipes - and are just as good as Les promised. Read the story.

Last, but not lease, is the Topp Twins - well actually their new CD. In New Zealand we know them as those crazy tinws on the telly, but in fact they are world renowned country singers and their latest CD is tipped to be NZ Album of the Year. Entertaining music - Honky Tonk Angels.

Meanwhile the All Whites covered themselves in glory at the FIFA World Cup finals - they didnt make it to the knockouts but didnt lose a game.

The New Zealand Polo team has assembled in England and training up to play England for the Coronation Cup at the end of the month.

And for those in New Zealand, be thankful that the weather gurus say it is going to remain a mild winter.

Footy time

It's a round ball not an oval one, New Zealand's team is the All Whites not the All Blacks, but New Zealand is still feverish over footy. New Zealand was ranked 78th in the world but still got to the FIFA World Cup. Having never scored a point in the Football Finals, a 1-1 draw against Slovakia in the first game was just fine. there are probably a few harder games ahead, but who knows....?



Kiwigiftsonline is perfect for travellers. Often kiwis want to give their hosts something from New Zealand but find they didnt take anything with them. Just log into kiwigiftsonline from anywhere is the world and the gift will be on the way. No extra weight, no unsuitable presents cluttering the suitcase.



Tui Bee Balme is well known, a honey based ointment which is great for minor cuts or nappy rash. We have now added Tui Bug Balme to kiwigiftsonline. This is also made from natural ingredients and suitable for children. Highly recommended. Keep those sandflies and mozzies at bay.



Meanwhile - GO THE ALL WHITES

Sock it

Normally socks are not something to get excited about, but we have just added some Merino and Possum Merino socks to the website. Requested by an American friend - "How can you have a website without them?"


The Merino socks are hunting, fishing, tramping socks, reinforced and really warm. The Possum Merino are casual dress socks, unbelievably soft, light and warm. If you havent worn merino or possum merino before - where have you been?
