The holidays are quickly approaching…which means the New Year is near!  Here is a range of our stationery to help keep you organised and calm in 2013. Help keep your New Years resolutions with our lovely range of calendars, note pads, and cards.

These items make lovely gifts as well – remember this is the last week to order to ensure everything arrives in time for Santa!

Well everyone the countdown is really on for Christmas now! Orders have really been flying through the shop and we have our last market of the year! You can find us this Saturday at Britomart’s Moad Christmas Market open from 10-2:30. Then on Sunday I’m super excited for the Day on the Green concert at the positively beautiful Villa Maria Estate Winery featuring The Black Seeds and Fly Me Pretties! Do you have some fun weekend plans – we’d love to hear them!

Now onto the good stuff – this week’s roundup is a gift guide for the cooks in your life!

1. Beautiful mini wood bowls by Wind & Willow Home.
2. A lovely handmade apron by Beth at Chirp will surely do the trick, located locally here in Auckland.
3. OneCanoeTwo make the most beautiful and vibrant letter-pressed stationery including these recipe cards.
4. For the baker – this colourful cookbook is perfect!
5. Have lots of shopping to do – no problem! This notepad will help keep you and your home organised.
6. Time to make those baked goods shine with this handcrafted cake stand.
7. There’s nothing like a tidy kitchen, keep your cooking utensils looking fab.

Sure do hope this roundup help bring some inspiration for those cooks and bakers in your life!  See you all next week!

Happy Tuesday everyone, how was your weekend? Mine was wonderfully relaxing, going down to Wanaka for a mini holiday, enjoying the beautiful views and also working on making Toodles Noodles ribbon bundles next to a roaring fire – the perfect combo!

With the holiday season quickly approaching I thought this would be a great time to introduce some great gift finds to the blog – this week we have The Little White Box, by Renee Coombe, located in Ardmore, New Zealand.

Their philosophy revolves around the little things that provide comfort and character that help make a house your home, and we hope that their handmade wares find a place in your heart.

With each piece being handmade and hand painted you will never find two items exactly the same which makes these beautiful ceramic items a lovely gift this holiday season.  I’ve personally been eyeing up the tea pot for my new home and purchased the lovely doves for my sister-in-law – aren’t they to die for?!

Their items make great cooking, baking, entertaining, housewarming gifts this holiday season – and are of course New Zealand made!  I do hope you love Renee’s work as much as I do, and if you have any suggestions for the next holiday gift post, do let us know! x
