Some Nice Gift Ideas For Xmas 2022

Gift giving can be a tricky art form. We've made it easier by compiling a list of thoughtful gift ideas for the special people in your life:

1. Create some merchandise for your favourite summer beach. We made the Coromandel Lids partially because our family and friends spend most summers there, and it makes for a good present! Just doodle up a logo and take it to your local embroiderer or screen printer to put on some nice mugs, t-shirts or even hats!

2. Grab a beautiful Chilly Bin from Napoleon Goods. Pair it with a Beach Umbrella from Alex and Corban for the perfect 'day at the beach' Xmas gift!

3. No Christmas is complete without an afternoon of games. Add a bit of variety by introducing a new Backyard Cricket Set, Cornhole, or Kubb to Christmas Lunch/Dinner! Over the fence on the full is definitely out though.

4. Take more intentional photos and store memories with an instant camera. Having a printed out photo can bring so much joy. We have an Instax Mini 40 at Goodlids HQ, and we have plenty of fun documenting our shenanigans!

5. For a relaxing and tactile gift, check out Monday Journal's Knitting Kits. It’s so nice to just get outside, sit under a tree and take your mind off things while doing a bit of knitting!

6. To buy someone a gift is one thing, but to craft it by hand is another! Get 4 pieces of plywood, potting mix, some nice herbs and DIY a garden box. Or for even more fun - make it together over summer!

7. Grab some summer camping accessories from West Supply - they have a fantastic range of local and quality imported goods! They even have a selection of Goodlids hats!

8. If you're still at a loss, you can always grab a lid or hemp tee from us online! Not sure what to grab? Our Gift Card is for you! If you're Auckland-based, come on down to the Goodlids Store in Mount Eden to shop our full range, along with Moreporks and Jules Mila!

Cheers, and Merry Christmas!
