I'm starting to get my Christmas presents organised simpy because I won't be doing it while 9 months pregnant 
My BIL is from England & I've got the idea of giving him a food hamper filled with kiwi-inspired food items. So far I have: K-bars Cream egg Picnic bar (or Crunchie) Juicy fruit chewing gum Salt & vinegar chips Onion soup & reduced cream Buzz bars L & P Pineapple lumps. Does anyone else have any ideas? With my preggy brain, I'm sure I'm missing some really obvious items. -------------

I sent my best girlfriend in London a box every Xmas too....it always has Marmite in it, Maggi Onion soup and most of the other bits you have all mentioned. I also send Burger Rings and Skippy Peanut Butter, and sometimes packets of Raro / Refresh!

Tea bags...the NZ ones here apparently taste THE best...I hate tea!!
always travel to usa with minties, jaffas, L and P bottle, smoked fish in tins, marmite (altho they all hate it and still there on next trip over!). what about DVDs of some NZ programmes - cheap at mo like Bro town, the taste of NZ type shows etc... NZ womans weekly is always popular as is the house and garden mag...collect a couple and send them in parcel. |
