 Vegemite tube. by kiwi
If you want to try something very much a part of New Zealand life, then buy some Vegemite. Originally from Australia, we have embraced it as part of us too. However it is very strong, salty and a bit repulsive to visitors. Vegemite is a Yeast extract, and should be use in small quatities due to its concentration.
We eat it normally at breakfast, but anytime is ok. You can spread it on hot buttered toast, and with tomato or avacado sliced on top is nice also. With crackers and cheese. Or you can add a spoon or two to meat when cooking, even spread it on steaks or roasts before cooking.
Vegemite is a very high in Vitamin B and has often been in stories of mountaineers or trekkers lost and surviving on this stuff. It is known to be suitable for vegetarians.
You don't need to buy a jar or a tube, if you stay at a motel often there are little cubes of the stuff in the breakfast bar with the jams. Grab one and when you are feeling brave, try it! Otherwise jars and tubes are available at most stores and supermarkets. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

 nice shirt, matty by tomatohead
Consider them investment pieces you can work, play, and travel in. Matt wore his tee three days in a row (installed a dishwasher on a hot day in day one, went rock climbing in day two, and went to work in day three), and wasn't even whiffy!
They are great for hot and cold climates. You don't feel like you're wearing a nasty plastic bag in your Icebreaker.
I ski in mine all the time and have taken it to Hawaii, where it dries overnight.
The zip necks with their sexy thumb loop shirts are fun.
The hand washable felted jackets are so practical AND stylin'.
The Superfine line is very edgy and urban.
A LOT. Shirts go for @$40-$100 USD! Leave a Comment

 me trying to be honest by tomatohead
Slow down and stop at the nearest roadside fruit stall- hopefully one with an "honesty box."
Some of the stalls are unmanned, you take what you want and leave your payment behind.
Omega Plums
Grapes
Yum!

 Pacific Art options by kiwi
You can get certificates of authenticity and be fairly certain they are fine examples of Polynesian and other arts.
Aside from what you can buy, in the public area, there is also a few shops behind customs in the area where travellers can relax before boarding their aircraft.
You can pay from $NZD100 to around $NZD4000. Depending on the item. But if it is quality it's worth it. You really can't buy a lot of these things anywhere else in the world. Leave a Comment Theme: ArtAddress: International Terminal, Auckland Airport.

 $2 shops by rozehill
A shop which is a treasure trove with every item within your price range
That simple, but highly successful, philosophy underpins the attraction of the $2 Shop.
New Zealander Brian Salmon came up with the concept of a shop where a $2 coin could buy anything in-store.
In December 1994 the first franchised $2 Shop opened in Palmerston North and now the shops are spreading all over the country.

Perhaps more interesting is the free factory tour to see how the rough shells are being crafted. There is also an informative video about the life of the Paua.
