Love! Such good suggestions! I would also add Better the Blood by Michael Bennet, every pakeha should read this.

AND I should have said, just get them a subscription to Emily Writes - that's what all of those "characters" actually would benefit from

I like the concept - except I decided long ago to not buy presents for anyone I don't actually like, whether family or not. Even more passive-aggressive to get them nothing at all - shows exactly what you think of them

I actually do buy presents, but don't feel forced by Christmas/Birthdays/Significant Occasions; rather I get someone something when I see something I think they would like - or when my partner reminds me I haven't bought her anything nice for too long (I am lucky that she even tells me what she wants so I don't get her something she doesn't like!)

All great ideas. Also, gifts of UNICEF donations for things like chickens and goats.

Thank you for the glorious and informative list. Toy libraries are SUCH a treasure of this country.

Hahaha. I mis-read the present for the rich man as a subscription to VANITY NZ.

Such great ideas but if I don't like you, there's no way I'm spending my hard earned $ on you!!
