Teasers and high-tech signs mooted to help city shops survive
Tourists need more help to find central Christchurch's shops and cafes if they are to splash their cash, a retail expert says.
Chris Wilkinson, managing director of consultancy First Retail, believes the city needs a wayfinding plan given the scattered nature of businesses in central Christchurch.
He's suggested interactive digital signs, teasers about what's nearby, and apps outlining trails for particular shopping and food interests.

Response to regifting presents
My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
