Spread a little happiness in your ‘hood by nominating someone lovely for a Nice Neighbour Award. It could be someone who has helped make a difference in your life - or the lives of others. Someone who has been there in a time of need, has helped your family, surprises and delights the kids, or who regularly volunteers their time to a local charity or sports team.
If your neighbour is picked as this week's Nice Neighbour, you’ll both receive a $25 Prezzy® card plus your special neighbour will feature in community newspapers around New Zealand as an inspiration to us all.
Let us know why your neighbour is so nice by nominating now.

Auckland – it’s hard to imagine a more geographically diverse region. Whether it’s rugged black-sand surf beaches, dense native forest, rolling green pastures or urban city centres, there’s something different to see and do.

Are you in need of some tips for cutting down your grocery bill? Auckland blogger Stacey Sampson might be able to help.
After a financial emergency drained her and her husband of all their savings, they were left with just $60 in their bank account to feed their three kids.
Now every month she does a "cheap week" that helps cut costs and minimise food wastage. To read about Stacey and her food tips, click here.
"This month we've done it twice to save some extra for Christmas," she says.

Every Christmas, we somehow manage to spend more on gifts than we planned and buy more food than we could ever eat. Inevitably, this creates a lot of waste. Which is why this year, we’re focusing on turning Christmas waste into Christmas joy. After all, there’s more than enough Christmas to go … View moreEvery Christmas, we somehow manage to spend more on gifts than we planned and buy more food than we could ever eat. Inevitably, this creates a lot of waste. Which is why this year, we’re focusing on turning Christmas waste into Christmas joy. After all, there’s more than enough Christmas to go around.
Join us in our goal of giving every Aucklander a Merry Christmas and donate what you save.
