The Christmas Edit - TAURANGA

Christmas is meant to feel good. The buying frenzy, overwhelm and waste that can come with it? Not so much.

Join Nic - best-selling author and Christmas realist - for an evening of festive inspiration, hands-on making, and good company. Think less shopping, more ideas worth stealing, and a Christmas that's a bit simpler and a little lighter on the planet.

We'll get stuck into gifts, wrapping, decorations, food and all the other stuff that seems to multiply every December - finding smarter ways to slow down, buy less, reduce waste and enjoy the season more

On the night, expect:

• Some proper hands-on making - create a couple of gifts, learn simple wrapping techniques, and take home your own beautiful reusable fabric wrap

• Nic's best ideas for simplifying gift giving, wrapping, decorating and food

• Light refreshments while you make

• A fresh take on what you actually need to buy this Christmas

• Plenty of ideas to take home and try

Rethink Christmas. Make a few things. Have a good night out.

Suitable for ages 16+.
