The Christmas Edit

Christmas is meant to feel good. The buying frenzy, overwhelm and waste that can come with it? Not so much.
Join Nic – best-selling author and Christmas realist – for an evening of festive inspiration, hands-on making, and good company. Think less shopping, more ideas worth stealing, and a Christmas that’s a bit simpler and a little lighter on the planet.
We’ll get stuck into gifts, wrapping, decorations, food and all the other stuff that seems to multiply every December – finding smarter ways to slow down, buy less, reduce waste and enjoy the season more
On the night, expect:
- Some proper hands-on making – create some beautiful hand-made gifts, learn simple wrapping techniques, and take home your own beautiful reusable fabric wrap
- Nic’s best ideas for simplifying gift giving, wrapping, decorating and food
- Light refreshments while you make
- A fresh take on what you actually need to buy this Christmas
- Plenty of ideas to take home and try
Rethink Christmas. Make a few things. Have a good night out.
Suitable for ages 18+
This event is supported by Tauranga City Council. Funding is from the Government’s Waste Disposal Levy, helping councils run projects that encourage reducing waste.
