Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours,

Hey neighbours,
Halloween is fast approaching. Some Kiwis think it's great fun and go all out with decorations and lollies. Others just want to shut their doors and be left alone, leave it to the Americans.

Do you celebrate Halloween at your house? Why or why not?
And If you don't like trick or treating, how do you make it clear your house is a no-go zone?

We're keen to talk to some people who feel strongly about Halloween one way or the other. If you have thoughts to share, please email homed@stuff.co.nz and we'll be in touch.

"Kia ora โ€“ Angela Boulton from New World Timaru here. Keen to discover a new top drop in time for summer?

My favourite wine from this yearโ€™s New World Wine Awards is the Starborough Sauvignon Blanc. I have worked at New World for 18 years, and Iโ€™ve been Liquor Manager for 12 years. Iโ€™ve seen and tasted some incredible award-winning wines, and this year is by far my favourite. This Sauvignon Blanc is so fruity on the palate, with flavours of lime and feijoa. Itโ€™s a perfect match with cheese and fruit platters for the upcoming summer months.โ€

Come into your local New World and explore the Top 50 Gold-medal winning wines โ€“ we have winners for every budget. Plus join us for complimentary wine sampling and try before you buy.
