This is Laura, our fabulous general manager who always keeps things running smoothly at Father Rabbit's head office. Laura is one of the first people to see all the wonderful new products we get in, so today she is sharing with us five of her own favourite pieces.
The Companion Planting in New Zealand by Brenda Little book will be an absolute winner gift for the avid gardening enthusiast in your life. It has heaps of wonderful tips on planting the right plants next to each other so you get the right combination of plants that will thrive well together. It is a great resource on how you can make the most of your garden by working with and understanding the natural ecosystem (including plants, insects and animals) specifically to New Zealand. A lovely holistic approach to gardening! Also check out our amazing range of garden tools (some tools I did not know they existed until I started working here) which makes gardening so much easier and enjoyable!
Cooking for other people is one of my favourite things to do! Having a very versatile and sharp knife like the
Pallares Usuba Professional Knife makes all the difference in the kitchen. This knife has a bit of weight to it and has a sharp thin blade which gives you clean and delicate cuts. Anyone that you know is a bit of cook, you should definitely get them one for Christmas, they will thank you for it!
I love simple, beautiful and functional objects like the
Yamazaki Tosca Laundry baskets. It is great to have a few around the house for storage and as laundry baskets, but even better doing your grocery shopping with a bit of style! This is my reusable bag alternative, as I find it so nice to use and seem to be able to carry quite a lot of things in it. It has rigid sides to help keep things upright so your fresh vegetables won't get squashed on the way home!
Drinking a lot of tea runs in my family (coming from Chinese heritage) and quite often we make big pots of tea for everyone. The
Kinto teapots are great and can hold a few cups of tea! The strainers that come with the tea pot are the best for loose leaf teas and make it really easy to clean.
I am such a t-shirt gal, and am forever scoping out the best cut plain tees. I love them slightly oversized and with a drop sleeve. The
Father Rabbit Classic Tee in Snow Marle is my favourite piece in my wardrobe right now.
