Break open a crate this Christmas!

Last day for Christmas orders is Thursday 15th December.

A gluten free Christmas?

A gluten free Christmas can leave you feeling a little lost when everyone else is indulging in pies, cake and beer. It is also awkward when you realise you have nothing for your gluten free guest! We have a great range of gluten free Christmas cakes, Christmas mince pies, puddings, biscuits, fudge, beer.... all of these things and more. Just visit us in store.

The gift of giving....

Here are three Commonsense ways to do Christmas

  • Buy locally: New Zealand produces great food crafts and clothing. Contribute to your local community and our economy at the same time. Buy New Zealand made! (and/or fair trade).
  • Be a creative wrapper: Making your own recycled wrapping paper is fun, snazzy and sustainable. Use the crossword page of the newspaper, or your kids awesome art that you have collected through the year, get some butchers paper and make potato stamp pictures! This makes hours of fun and you can use it again next year!
  • Composting is cool: Give the gift of a compost bin. Build someone a compost heap, buy a worm farm or a Bokashi unit. A year round gift that just keeps on giving!

Are you overseas? Want to send a gift to New Zealand?

We have vouchers that you can purchase online- these gift vouchers can be used in all of our stores in the Wellington region. You can also purchase products through our online store, and we will send them out (just like Santa) anywhere in New Zealand!

Last minute panic shopping!

All of our stores have good Christmas gift ideas from a $5 secret Santa to $150 gourmet gift boxes! Just look for the Christmas table full of great products to make this season just a little more organic, fair trade and sustainable.
