Unique gifts for special people: Mickey Raes

Christmas celebrates the birth of a special baby, and if you have one in your family, then you’ll be looking for an extra special gift.

We’re not talking gold, frankincense, or myrrh, but rather gorgeous, fabulous, and magical, which describe the exciting range of baby clothing, toys and other goodies at Mickey Raes Gifts & Crafts shop.

In Hanmer Springs’ Boulder Point Precinct, it’s open seven days a week and is now stocked with an awesome array of treats, gifts and options for all manner of people and occasions. Or just because you can.

Owner Wendy Lamont personally selects all the giftware. She started unpacking all the Christmas goodies a few days ago, and is having a special sale this long weekend, to celebrate Canterbury Anniversary.

Baby clothing and educational toys, craft goodies including wool and yarn supplies from throughout New Zealand, and Liberty fabrics line the shelves alongside other haberdashery essentials, and even her own label wedding accessories.

“I have a great selection of New Zealand author books and New Zealand souvenirs, Buxton and Baron leather bags, purses and wallets, and also Diamond Dotz art kits. For Christmas there are beautiful scented candles and lots more, so come in and see me.”
