A real party centrepiece! In sizzling purple, this chocolate fondue fountain sits on the table and works effortlessly, using any quality chocolate.
We’ve used it for a couple of events – very easy to use and clean – then it’s been in storage. In original packaging, outer box shows sign of wear. Made from stainless steel and heat resistant plastic, it is durable and easy to use, equipped with a thermostat and safety fuse for safe operation. Great for dipping fruit and marshmallows. Melt the chocolate to your required consistency, allow the fountain to heat up then pour in the chocolate and watch the smooth cascade, flowing over three tiers!
Bought for over $100NZ from UK quality purveyor of party goods – very similar (slightly bigger) than this product currently on their site:
www.gilesandposner.com...
Check out the video, our one is very similar but slightly bigger, taller and more elegant, and of course – purple!!

Has an English plug on it, needs an adapter or to be swopped for a NZ plug.
Pickup from Sydenham, or can drop off if nearby.

Help us save water this summer

We’re asking all Christchurch residents to save water so we can end temporary chlorination sooner.

The less water we use, the faster we can upgrade our wells. It all adds up, and we really appreciate people’s efforts.

The biggest demand for household water comes from garden sprinklers and irrigators. A better option is to use a hose with a spray gun, or a watering can. Better still, water only on alternate days between 9pm and 7am, when it's cooler.

Dog ownership has soared over the past five years, outstripping the growth in people in all the main cities apart from Auckland.

The country is home to more than 560,500 registered dogs – enough for about one in nine to be a proud owner. That's a pooch for roughly every third household.
