With love from home: The Fox’s Lair

When it comes to finding that unique, endearingly Kiwi Christmas gift for loved ones, whether they’re at home or abroad, a visit to The Fox’s Lair, corner Merivale Lane and Papanui Road (behind Café Metro) is a must because there’s something for everyone.

Consider a pen hewn from natural New Zealand wood for posting overseas, while a Julian Hindson photographic artwork, or an historical Sarah Greig bird print is the perfect ‘Welcome Home’ gift. Your potty-about-pottery people will cherish any ceramic piece from artists such as Liz Campbell, Gary Brooks, or Nelson based Device Ceramics, to name a few.

There’s adorable babywear from Lynne Douglas and Kylie Gordon and sweetly scented soaps, such as Back Road’s divine Vintage Rose. Discerning chocolate lovers will love their gift of delicious Bennetto chocolate – totally organic, vegan and fair-trade. Browse the gorgeous outdoor ware from Splashy Ceramics; the colourful native birds, like our beloved pukeko, are hard to resist! Saving the best person till last… that exquisite recycled NZ sixpence locket from Rainey Design – that’s for you, because you deserve it!

Marie Henry and Selma Rainey of The Fox’s Lair are determined to support local and national artisans. “We’re proud to showcase small craft businesses and emerging artists. We want to show that beautiful gifts can be inexpensive, original and of the highest quality, but most importantly, we want to encourage and support artisans throughout New Zealand.”
