I am putting together a Christmas Package for a family in need. I require a Fibre Optic Christmas Tree (preferably) if anyone has anything like this, and decorations would also be welcome. I will also add vouchers and gift cards for the family to get them through the Christmas period. If you would like to help out, brilliant. If not, that's ok maybe you have someone you know that you could be a secret Santa to. Merry Christmas.

Instead of giving individual gifts to residents, the idea was to redirect those funds to support struggling New Zealand families having to cut back on essentials.
Ryman residents were overwhelmingly in support of the idea, with many volunteering to help choose the gifts to fill over 1000 shoeboxes with thoughtful items.

This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
