Feeling festive
🎁Christmas Giveaway🎁👏👏👏
I have 8 children and they are fortunate enough to enjoy presents and great food every Christmas...that got me thinking there are people here in New Zealand who don’t eat great food on Christmas Day, don’t receive presents and Santa just doesn’t come, all because they cannot afford it. I feel like it’s time for me and my little business to do my part so......
I have decided to run a competition where you write into me telling me of a family that you know who deserves a special Christmas. We will arrive on Christmas morning with presents, a Christmas grazing table and genuine Christmas cheer. If you want to donate a gift, or food items please email me Belle@platter.co.nz
This isn’t about likes or share it’s about giving.
To enter please email me at belle@platter.co.nz before 15th December. Let’s make someone’s day, it is after all the season of giving 😍🎁😍.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
Share your question below now ⬇️
Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
