Wallace Rd Corner Stores Gift Guide
It’s so important to support our local stores at Christmas time. What would the world be like if it was all about huge shopping malls full of chain stores and Internet shopping? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t reject that type of shopping, but there’s something special about your local bricks and mortar, not to mention the importance of a community for your wellbeing.
Styled Canvas Favourites | The Father Rabbit Box
There are so many gorgeous products out there that happen to catch my attention and that I’d love to share with you. To be honest, I’ve been thinking about how to best package this as a series on the blog. In the end I thought, why not keep it to the point and call it simply, “Styled Canvas Favourites”. Here I’ll share new and noted product from around the globe that’s high on my wish list and I’m pretty sure will be on yours too.

Totokaelo Online Store
Totokaelo is an online store with a flawlessly curated collection of art and object for the home. I seriously had to contain myself with the amount of images to show here today because it’s one of those rare stores where I would happily purchase pretty much anything – if finances (and space) allowed that is.
6 bloggers, 3 Christmas Wishes Part 2
Lena from Minamoka
Personal gift: My personal wish would be a class I can take. Some me-time. I have two kids and work almost full time. If I have some free time I like to read the newspaper or write a blogpost. But I’d like to be forced to get outside, be challenged, get my hands dirty, do something that doesn’t have to do with my work (the film and publishing world) or my family. I’d love to take ceramics classes, for example – but to make it easier to put a link here, I’ll suggest a photography class that includes exploring the city.
7 bloggers, 3 Christmas wishes Part 1
A person’s gift wish list says a lot about them, their personal taste and of course, where they are in their lives at that particular moment. I thought as we come to the close of the year and for the fun, I’d ask some of my talented blogging friends who have previously been my On The Wall or My Space guest, what they would like if they had three wishes this Christmas. One needed to be personal, one for the home and one that was beyond themselves. I wish I had a magic wand to grant all of these wishes, particularly number three, which you can feel that they are so passionate about. Perhaps you can send them each a bit of Christmas cheer of your own and pop over to each of their equally amazing blogs that they worked so hard on during this year and say hi.

The Lovely Registry
There’s a great new international gift registry concept that landed in my inbox last week that I think is just genius and I thought that you might too.
The Lovely Registry is a pinterest-like platform where the celebrator can create their own personal “wish list” website. Here they can upload a personal photo and message for their guests along with images of their heart’s desires from local and international designer and boutique brands via The Lovely’s website or any website. The buyer then “claims” the gift so that there are no double ups and can either purchase the gift directly from the physical store or via the store’s website with an easy “click through” or the buyer also has the option to shop around other stores for the best price.
New Zealand Christmas Gift Guide #2
I have five more New Zealand Made Christmas gift ideas today. The first is something on the wish list to use not as a stool but as a bedside table. Designed by Timothy John and owner of the uber cool Paper Plane Store, The Side Kick low stool would make a very special and practical gift for the furniture design appreciator. It comes in five different steel base colours and two different solid ash hardwood top finishes.
