Todays' highlight is Sherbet Bath – Totally natural, luxury fizzy bath, like a bath bomb, but no plastic used. Bath bombs need to be shrink wrapped and this has been bothering me, so I have come up with the same thing, but not formed into a ball, and packed in a paper packet. $3 each. (you will find them in the bath bomb department in our online store) Two ‘flavours’ available: Lavender essential oil, or DebE, (a gorgeous aromatherapy blend to lift the mood). Would love to hear your ideas of other possible fragrances for these.
In our store you will find all sorts of other goodies like..... Hand sanitisers, Skin care for all skin types and ages, (including creams for sensitive skins), body products ie lotions, deodorants, lip balms, talc-less body powders, anti-fungal foot powders and lotions, products for pain, baby products, household items, a fantastic range of REALLY mild soaps - for hand, bath, and HAIR, a full range of chemical free pet products, and much more......
We courier nationwide, and Rotorua customers can opt for courier delivery, or safe pick up options.

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. NZ Gardener has been informing and inspiring New Zealand gardeners for more than 75 years and we're incredibly grateful to our readers, especially our subscribers, because we couldn't do it without you. And by the way subscribing is easy and a much cheaper way to get your magazine each month! And would an NZ Gardener sub make a great Mother's Day gift this Sunday, you ask? I think we all know the answer to that! Jo
