From your tree to theirs
1. Choose something they’ll love
Whether it's favourite Kiwi treats, a thoughtful gift, or a few little reminders of home, create a parcel that's personal to them. Just keep it under 1kg to take advantage of the deal.
2. Make it feel like Christmas
Add that extra layer of excitement by popping your gifts in one of our festive Christmas boxes, available in-store. They're designed to travel well and look the part when they arrive.
...and 3. Send early!
The earlier you send, the better your chances of getting your gifts there in time for Christmas. Send from home or visit your local NZ Post store to get your parcels on their way.
