My top five tips to have the most enjoyable, cost efficient and sustainable Kirihimete are:
1) Kirihimete is made special by whānau and friends presence, opposed to presents.
2) Create, opposed to purchasing your presents.
3) Organise Secret Santa and purchase one present per setting, opposed to purchasing individual presents.
4) Purchase experiences and create memories with your loved ones, opposed to purchasing material items.
5) Purchase New Zealand made, Fairtrade New Zealand, such as Trade Aid New Zealand and / or ethical.
