Wellington Christmas Gift Ideas

Family, friends and fun. Sleep-ins, sun and surprises. Ahh… The perfect Christmas holiday! 

But there’s also that frantic christmas-eve-dash to the mall that creeps up on you every year. And you’re stumped by what to get your boss (eek!) for secret santa. The ‘perfect’ gift you’d ordered online for your partner won’t arrive till January, the workload is increasing and it’s your turn to entertain the rellies this year…

Whether it’s shrinking work deadlines or the stress of hosting a big Christmas lunch, the end of the year can all too quickly become a hectic whirlwind instead of a relaxing celebration. But at We Love Local, we think our Christmas Gift Boxes might help to make the silly season a little less silly.

A We Love Local Christmas Gift Box will charm your mum, dad and even yourself in more ways than one.

Our gift boxes are:

• Filled with treats and goodies from local artisan producers
• Characterized by a locally-made liquor; wine, gin or beer
• Presented in a handmade, wooden, reusable box by The Shed Project
• Carefully curated to inspire and indulge

From Kapiti Olives who produces delicious olive oil to Baron Hasselhoff’s who makes the yummiest Hazelnut Brittle in Berhampore, a We Love Local Gift Box does more than make your recipient smile. Your purchase supports multiple local, New Zealand businesses too. Much craftsmanship and passion goes into producing all the yummy goodies we’re proud to parade in our gift boxes and there’s no doubt about it – your recipient will feel the love this year too!

Gifts for her

The Vegan Gift Box is perfect for your mum if she’s been trying to introduce more plant-based food into her lifestyle. What about the special someone in your life who thinks about everyone else before herself? Show how much you appreciate her with our Wellington Treats gift box with a bottle of Alexia Rosé from Wairarapa.

Gifts for him

The Balmy BBQ Gift box is ideal for the family member who loves a good summer sizzle. Did your dad discover a love for baking over lockdown? Whether it’s encouraging his new cooking skills or introducing him to a nice local gin, our Craft Gin Gift Box will say what words can’t.

Just imagine if you could start the Christmas holidays as relaxed as when you will be when they end! Instead of getting irritated by the radio’s non-stop Christmas jingles, or anxious about making everything perfect on the big day, you can give yourself the gift of time (and kudos) by choosing a sweet, sustainable, locally-curated gift box that supports our local businesses too.

At the end of the day, gift-giving is about communication above anything else. While it can be easy to overspend because you want to show how much you care, our gift boxes will do the same and more. So whether you want to nail that boss-appropriate gift or spoil the person you love, choose a gift box filled with Wellington goodies that you can share and delight in together.

If that doesn’t sound like the perfect Christmas, we don’t know what does!
