I am putting together a Christmas Package for a family in need. I require a Fibre Optic Christmas Tree (preferably) if anyone has anything like this, and decorations would also be welcome.

If not, that's ok maybe you have someone you know that you could be a secret Santa to. Merry Christmas.

Instead of giving individual gifts to residents, the idea was to redirect those funds to support struggling New Zealand families having to cut back on essentials.

Ryman residents were overwhelmingly in support of the idea, with many volunteering to help choose the gifts to fill over 1000 shoeboxes with thoughtful items.
