Todays' highlight is Sherbet Bath – Totally natural, luxury fizzy bath, like a bath bomb, but no plastic used. Bath bombs need to be shrink wrapped and this has been bothering me, so I have come up with the same thing, but not formed into a ball, and packed in a paper packet. $3 each. (you will find them in the bath bomb department in our online store) Two ‘flavours’ available: Lavender essential oil, or DebE, (a gorgeous aromatherapy blend to lift the mood). Would love to hear your ideas of other possible fragrances for these.
In our store you will find all sorts of other goodies like..... Hand sanitisers, Skin care for all skin types and ages, (including creams for sensitive skins), body products ie lotions, deodorants, lip balms, talc-less body powders, anti-fungal foot powders and lotions, products for pain, baby products, household items, a fantastic range of REALLY mild soaps - for hand, bath, and HAIR, a full range of chemical free pet products, and much more......
We courier nationwide, and Rotorua customers can opt for courier delivery, or safe pick up options.

Upcycled industrial items like this work really well alongside modern furnishings to give your home an eclectic style. A piece like this is also a great way to introduce pops of colour that you might not be brave enough to attempt on a larger scale.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. NZ Gardener has been informing and inspiring New Zealand gardeners for more than 75 years and we're incredibly grateful to our readers, especially our subscribers, because we couldn't do it without you. And by the way subscribing is easy and a much cheaper way to get your magazine each month! And would an NZ Gardener sub make a great Mother's Day gift this Sunday, you ask? I think we all know the answer to that! Jo

For the past two months, there’s been a huge demand for food parcels from local charities around the country. Find out what we’ve been doing behind the scenes to support these charities who are helping New Zealanders get back on their feet.
(PS – we want to say a special ‘thank you’ to all of you who have made a donation at your local store. Your generous support is helping keep New Zealanders fed.)

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.
But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.
While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.
Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?
Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.
You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand
