Looking at what I wrote for midwinter #SecretSantaAoNZ and yeah, I still like liquorice/licorice/however you spell it. Beads or charms that I could hang from chainmail earrings (see pics for examples). Stuff I can be creative with.

Also! Chainmail jewellery in custom colour-schemes is a wonderfully distinctive #SecretSantaAoNZ gift and I am happy to wrap/personalise for you, etc.
Range of prices available but for a light touch consider keyring (felt.co.nz/listing/5963...) or trio earrings (felt.co.nz/listing/5555...)

I like blues, greens and purples. I prefer darker chocolate to lighter. I like cufflinks and ties but don't wear them as often as I mean to. I like vases but I'm not allowed to buy any more but I don't have a rule against receiving them... 👀 I like native timber. And...

I try to spread a bit of positivity on here or at least not doompost, but by crikey it's all a bit grim, eh?

GST, income tax, the actual cost to produce the product, Shopify fees, AfterPay fees if you use AfterPay, packaging costs, advertising costs, etc. It’s a lot.
When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account
Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half
We price for that, so please be understanding!

Trying to organise my family for a shared dinner is A Mission at best, and this time I am appalled to realise that the one with the most commitments is actually me.
