We’re putting the finishing touches on our 2026 Christmas catalogue. This year, it will tell you more than what’s inside each box.
Every December, thousands of gift boxes leave our warehouse. Each one needs to arrive looking right, with products that taste as good as they should. That expectation has not changed.
The new catalogue will also show you where your gifting budget goes and who it supports.
Where the money goes
We have returned close to $4 million to small New Zealand producers.
That money pays wages in towns you have probably driven through. It helps a honey producer keep harvesting through a quiet season, or a chocolatier keep a second person employed through winter.
Most of our 200+ producers are small operations run by just a few people, often from a kitchen, workshop, or patch of land. An order for 500 bars of chocolate for our gift boxes can genuinely change their month. We wrote about where your money actually goes when you buy a gift box earlier this year, if you want the full breakdown.
The money travels further, too. Producers buy ingredients from nearby growers and pay wages that are spent at other local businesses, including the café down the street. We have also explained how this multiplier effect works in practice.
What you can say about it
You chose where your gifting budget went. You should be able to explain what it achieved.
When we receive your order, we can tell you exactly how many producers it supports, which regions it reaches, and who made the products inside each box.
“We put $8,000 back into small New Zealand producers this Christmas”
This a clear result you can use in a meeting or year-end report. It also gives people something specific to remember when the next gifting round comes up
For every gift box, you will see who made the products, where they are based, and what an order means for their business.
If you work in government, a council, or another organisation with procurement objectives, there is a short section at the back using the language already found in your policies. It is written plainly, so you can point to the relevant facts when you need them.
Get in early
The catalogue will be ready soon, and Christmas orders often begin earlier than expected.
