Cameron Knapp there had been an explosion in demand for sports cards since lockdown, which gave people time to dig out their old collections and get their children involved.

He opened Cards Plus, a dedicated sports card shop in Kaiapoi, last month with customers lined up waiting for the doors to open.

The lack of international tourists is not expected to put a dampener on North Canterbury's wineries this summer as domestic tourists take over.

Business is booming for Greystone Wines, where general manager Nik Mavromatis is still celebrating featuring on the prestigious Top 100 Wine Discoveries list last month.

Visitors from around New Zealand were flocking to the wine district, and cellar door sales had risen 20 per cent compared to last year, he said.

It is a similar story for other North Canterbury wineries - read more here.

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Lynda from Kaiapoi

Hiya neighbours. We are looking for a two or three-bedroom house to rent in Kaiapoi. We would require something long term (say 5-6 years) and a place with a double garage would be handy. A garden would be nice. We are an older couple with no pets and we don't smoke, my partner works part-time … View moreHiya neighbours. We are looking for a two or three-bedroom house to rent in Kaiapoi. We would require something long term (say 5-6 years) and a place with a double garage would be handy. A garden would be nice. We are an older couple with no pets and we don't smoke, my partner works part-time and I have a small quiet business. Something that becomes available to rent anytime from December to late February 2021 is good. We have excellent references. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Lynda W.
