There’s been a definite shift (both globally and closer to home) around supporting local artisans and businesses. We’ve embraced the movement to support local whenever possible this year, from our fashion and beauty decisions to Christmas shopping, and it’s created a definite sense of pride and enjoyment in the shopping experience. It’s always a thrill to meet the designer or mind behind the gift item you’re choosing, and there’s an added sense of satisfaction around supporting a New Zealand business or brand.
