A Merry Vinnies Christmas - Donate a Gift
A Merry Vinnies Christmas offers a shopping style experience to parents and families looking for assistance over the December period. This means giving people the dignity, ownership and choice over what they receive from us.
The Vinnies office will transform into a mini toy shop, where families can choose what presents they want for their children.
DONATE A GIFT: Throughout the month of November, we will be collecting gifts to full up our toy shop in time for December.
To make this possible we are calling on families, corporate teams, businesses, clubs and individuals to donate gifts.
GIFT CRITERIA:
> For ages 0 - 16 years
> Unwrapped
> New or near new condition
Please drop off donations to the Vinnies Newtown office: Level 1, 207 Riddiford Street, Newtown
🎅 The Vinnies Toy Shop will be open from Monday 3 December - more info to come. 🤶

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
-
45.2% I avoid spending money on coffee
-
42.7% I still indulge at my local cafe
-
12.1% Irrelevant - coffee is not for me
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
