Crafty Opportunity
I have come across an opportunity for someone (not me), to make a tourist toy (wooden / metal, moving parts) with a sales outlet already established. The owner of the attraction is an inventor, and has stopped selling the toys because he doesn't like making anything more than once. So visitors to his attraction ask for, but can no longer buy, his toys. I've spoken to him and have his support to try and turn this into a win/win - if I can find the right person/organisation. I don't want money from it, but trying to find someone - or preferably a charity or mentoring service or something like that - to make the items to be sold at the attraction site. The toys need skills which are a mixture of being crafty with small pieces of wood and metal, and patience to get things to work just right. I can be contacted at helen@livingbusiness.co.nz

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.
