New jigsaws and activity / puzzle books in store now
Our usual pallet of 1000 piece Holdsons jigsaws has been delayed due to a world wide paper shortage (something to do with making paper masks apparently) and issues with shipping the board from Europe so we have purchased a small range of alternatives to keep you busy in the meantime.
Choose from 500 - 1000 piece animal theme (cats, dogs, butterflies and animals of the world) to 1000 piece Fine Art designs from Renoir, Monet and Waterhouse and for the very adventurous of you we have a few double sided puzzles!
Yes that's right not only do all the pieces have to fit but both sides are printed so you have to get them the right way up as well.
We also have a small number of the latest Christmas Wasgij and the a vintage Christmas puzzle in a gorgeous tin but these won't last long.
For the kids we have 45 - 100 piece puzzles in a range of designs and for the really little ones we have fabulous boxes from Crocodile Creek with ten 2 piece puzzles.
We also have new Christmas puzzle and activity books - just too many titles to mention so best pop in and check out the range!
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
