Zane the King Charles Cavalier boy says woof! (Which means Merry Christmas I guess).

Rākau Kirihimete: Christmas tree, with rākau meaning tree and Kirihimete meaning Christmas.

Meri Kirihimete! 🥰 Hope your holidays is filled with love.

Extra boost!!! Anyone able to provide a bit of Christmas and holiday cheer and help the fabulous Beckie get the dental care she needs?? 🎄🎁🌟💕

I finished watching Wayne Brown's Christmas message (with Chlöe Swarbrick). I was not sure if I was going to cringe or not. But somehow I enjoyed it... a little bit. 👀 #sillyseason not #stupidseason

The sky in Ahuriri/Napier tonight

I discovered a trick for wrapping the weirdly shaped Toblerone chocolate we are giving to family as gifts- shove it inside an empty, cut-to-size wrapping paper tube and you have a much easier to wrap cylinder shape!

Update on the turkey!!!! My flatmates decided we're not having turkey because of how long the cooking process is. We will have roast pork tonight. Lol @foxylustygrover.bsky.social Thought I'd tag you. 😅

To those who must shop today. May the odds be ever in your favour.

My skin care products: (micellar water rarely) 2 cleansers, 1 toner, 2 moisturisers, and 1 eye cream His skin care products: 1 cleanser and moisturiser 🙃 and he has better skin than me!!!! I need justice. Lol

Chonky cat spotted!!!! (Yes, I was parked on the side with my car engine turned off when the cat appeared. )

Awkward. "Now comes the news that this airline somehow managed to leave one of its old Boeing passenger jets, a 737-200 registered as VT-EHH, gathering dust in Kolkata Airport for 13 years, having completely forgotten it owned it in the first place. "In fact, when Air India was first contacted […]

Tart! Stole my spot in the sun! Came out of nowhere

Three Waters anyone?? #nzpol

My brain: eat at the mall for lunch? My thumbs having their own brains: eat the mall for lunch? *context: I'm currently at work and asking my s.o. if we're gonna have lunch at the mall when I finish my shift.* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes. Just eat the mall, why don't we? 🤦‍♀️

I've bought an ice-cream making attachment on sale for my Kitchenaid mixer, because the dairy free ice cream options are not what they were a few years ago. Does anyone have any tried and tested recipes? #kikorangi #nzgardens #aotearoanz

Since we're playing the Philippine Government Playbook, I'm guessing Cabral was killed on purpose. And Discaya being arrested is Napoles 2.0 #philippinegovernment #corruption #floodcontrolproject

Finallyyyy!!! Back to the hair colour which I fell in love with in July. Lol Excuse the selfie

Casual reminder that water works best when you swallow it; inhaling it is, in fact, bad for your health.

So the little secret of Elfing #SecretSantaAoNZ is that I consider all of you my giftee in a way 😁. I'm way behind and still catching up on opening day, but there is so much joy, so much happy and it makes me smile.

Got gifts from my sister and niece. The big Christmas-y paperbag on the left is for me. The three separate gifts are for my S.O. (all for Christmas and then his birthday which is within the first few days of 2026).

Can you imagine!? Whittakers used to be on the other site. We should make it a goal to get them over here. And get them to develop a #SecretSantaAoNZ flavour. Lol!

🙃 Someone called Big Bird yellow duck. 😭😭😭

Grateful #SecretSantaAoNZ Beans! #artbeforedishes Big clean out Homemade ginger beer and homemade gin Most excellent snapper dinner

It really is a Christmas miracle to have a stranger study the little pieces of ourself we reveal on this website & then put together amazing personal gifts for us. Huge thanks to Santa's elves for all they do to make this miracle happen #SecretSantaAoNZ

#SecretSantaAoNZ All’s well that ends well. The giftees are happy, and I’m happy to be part of this wonderful community. Thank you Santa, thank you Elves, thank you everyone who joins – what a wonderful experience of kindness, care, good faith and aroha. 1/2

One of the absolute joys of being a small creative business in Aotearoa this time of year is getting tagged in the #SecretSantaAoNZ posts of people whose Santa bought part of their gift from me. It really does multiply the fun! 🤩

Need some joy in your life at the moment. For my non NZ followers- today is gift opening day for our country wide secret santa. Yes, a country wide secret santa! Check out the tag #SecretSantaAoNZ Strangers across the archipelago giving and sharing. It's starting to feel like Christmas. 🎄🎄🎄

Still waiting for your #SecretSantaAoNZ giftee to post? Robot can help, robot will nudge! Just add opening nudge in secretsanta.nz app. Robot is full of cheese and ready to nudge.

This year had been, I guess I can say, overwhelming. At the beginning of the year, my grandmother on my mum's side got sick and had to be hospitalised. Eventually, she did not recover 100% and was brought home. I got to see her in a deep sleep state when I visited the Philippines. In June, God […]

Not to interrupt or anything but Have you had enough water today? Have you had your meds? Have you grinned like a gremlin because you remembered you're fabulous? There's still time. Luv you

Yay on both counts!

1.I think it's safe to say my giftee liked my gifts. 😁 2. I'm enjoying everyone else's posts! #secretsantaaonz

Here's my favourite moth find of the past week, which we saw at Hinewai Reserve over the hill from Akaroa, NZ. It's *Declana floccosa* which is quite variable in it's colours and patterns. This is the first one I've seen speckled with bright orange spots. When I […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]

Oh my gosh! Thank you, Santa! I am excited to try the cake in a mug over the holidays. The draw and paint was one of the things I would look at but couldn't buy at the moment. Now, I don't have to! And for the starry night plaster painting... all I can think […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]

I'm tapping out. I'm tired. I will open my gifts the moment I wake up. Goodnight everyone! Can't wait to see your posts tomorrow. And ofc I can't wait to open my gifts and post them! #secretsantaaonz

Beep Boop Calculating..... Calculating..... Extra cheese required Calculating.... Calculating.... Error: what even is time

I want some Jollibee: Spicy chicken joy, spaghetti or palabok, and pineapple juice. 🫠 Why do I have to be so far away from Jollibee? Ahahahahahaha

I'm thinking if I should join the midnight crew. But I'm working in the morning (9am but have to deal with morning traffic 🤣). Or just wake up as usual and open them before/while I have my breakfast. Decisions, decision, decisions. #secretsantaaonz

Anyone else having trouble keeping their mind (or hands) off their #SecretSantaAoNZ present? So close, it's so close now... We can do this. Be strong.
