Buy one, give one for Kiwi families in need

Raptor Rubs

Hi Neighbourly members, we all love a bargain, but buying a gift that really gives back seems like a much better way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?

Hi Neighbourly members, we all love a bargain, but buying a gift that really gives back seems like a much better way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?

We’re not sure who decided that Black Friday was suddenly a ‘thing’ down in our part of the world, so, as us Kiwis tend to do, we thought we’d put our own spin on it instead. One that is much more focused on community over consumerism, and equally about giving as it is about getting.

Curious?

Kicking off today and running through 'til Monday 2 December, we are doing our annual buy-one-give-one campaign.

That means for every Christmas Gift Box or Christmas Cracker set purchased, we’ll also give one to City Missions and food banks across the country to support families in need. Our aim is to give back to an organisation within the community that each of our customers live in.

The best part? There’s no car park congestion, over-crowded shopping malls or #walmartfights involved. You can shop online from the comfort of your own home, with the knowledge that you’re also doing good for fellow Kiwis in their own community.

You could say that our version of Black Friday is in fact a whole lot more colourful, adding brightness to what might otherwise be a fairly bleak Christmas for many families in New Zealand.

Together, we can make Christmas a bright and tasty time for families in need - and that sounds like a pretty good deal, don’t you think?!

Whether you’re buying for an avid foodie, a wannabe masterchef, a time-poor parent, or a student who needs help to step their signature spag bol up a notch, our Christmas Gift sets are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser, are all gluten-free, with no MSG, and all-natural!

You’ll find more information about Raptor Naturals, our Christmas Gift Boxes and our Christmas Crackers on our website - www.raptornaturals.co.nz

Thanks for your support

Missionaries?

Sharon from Epsom

Was just getting in my car to leave my daughter's place in Rawhiti Rd, One Tree Hill, when two young women came up the driveway and asked if I needed any help.

When I said 'No thanks' they claimed to be missionaries going around helping people. If they are legitimate, what a nice thing to do, but it sounds a bit odd to me. Just letting you know in case it's a scam.

Why Is?

Andrea from Eden Terrace

A camel is beige
Like the sands of time
It must not stand out more so
Than the noblest of persons around it

An elephant is grey
Because it has the strength of stone
Standing as strong as a pillar

A camel is beige
Like the sands of time
It must not stand out more so
Than the noblest of persons around it

An elephant is grey
Because it has the strength of stone
Standing as strong as a pillar
So to disguise its fragility

A lion is yellow
Like the rays of the sun
Burning bright as a beacon
Of hope to those who beg its pardon

A person can be many colours
to reflect on what they cast
which is why many are on the spectrum
as the rainbow’s prisms are vast ++
