Pyjamas and Activity Sets needed

Tracey from Kelburn

Hi all,

I'm starting a non-profit initiative where I organize packs that are gifted to teenagers. Teenagers are frequently forgotten by donors, and as a teenager who has spent a large amount of time in hospital, this is a very important cause to me. I am looking for donations of new pajamas (sized for 14 - 18-year-olds, boys and girls) and activity kits such as diamond dots, coloring books and pencils, bracelet-making kits, exc. You can pick most of this stuff at your local warehouse, Kmart, or spotlight. They only cost $5-10 but it goes a long way toward helping teens through a tough time. Below I've linked some examples of the products I mean, however any other products that fit what I have listed above would be welcome. These products will be greatly appreciated by those who receive them. Please email projecttheraindrop@gmail.com if you are intending to donate items, and drop off all items you donate to 22 Grove Road, Kelburn, Wellington, 6012.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
