The Christmas Heirloom Company sells Christmas decorations all year round. They have the most incredible selection of trees and themed decorations - some traditional stuff, and more quirky ideas too. I saw a tree decorated with surfing santas and penguines wearing shades! Lots of glitter, sparkle and all things Christmassy.
What to buy: A lot of people like to collect souvenir tree decorations as they travel, and there is some really special stuff to choose from here. However, when I visited I had wanted to select some 'New Zealand' decorations to send home to family in England, and regrettably the selelction of those types of decoration were quite limited. But plenty of nice stuff to choose from.
What to pay: You can spend a little or a lot here! Seven to ten dollars (NZ) will buy you a tree bauble. Or you may want to give your credit card a proper airing.

What corrugated iron can do for your town

For all the fuss and hullabuloo about Tirau, there's not a lot of it. Having said that, it's still worth a stop and you can easily wile away a few hours if you chance your arm in some of the art and...

Tirau - almost in the middle of nowhere

En route to Rotorua from Auckland (a bit over halfway), we happened across the little town of Tirau, population only 600. It was right on the highway and we decided it was worth stopping for, for a...
