The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

For a bit of fun, imagine we are making a time capsule to tell the future about life in New Zealand in 2023. What would you add to our time capsule?

Some ideas include:
A pair of Crocs
An air fryer
A poem written by ChatGPT
A PakNSave receipt
A teaspoon commemorating the Coronation of King Charles III
A copy of Prince Harry’s book “Spare”
A banner that says “Up the Wahs”

What would you put in there to sum up life in NZ this year?
