Spread a little hope along with cheer this Christmas and help Hospice NZ.
In conjunction with department store Farmers, Kiwi artists Michel Tuffery and Letitia Lam, have created limited edition glass baubles delicately handpainted and showcasing native New Zealand flowers. All proceeds will benefit Hospice NZ.
The hospice philosophy is to help people make the most of their lives; to live every moment in whatever way is important to them. Anyone living with a life limiting condition – e.g. heart failure, motor neurone disease, MS or cancer – can access and benefit from hospice services, either in their own homes or as an inpatient.
Farmers CEO and managing director Rod McDermott says the company is delighted to be partnering with Hospice on such a worthy initiative for Christmas shoppers.
Pohutukawa by Michel Tuffery symbolises the quintessential Kiwi Christmas. Inspired by the iconic Pohutukawa tree, Tuffery’s design features traditional Christmas colours and an abundance of holly. Tivaevae – a vibrant design renowned throughout the Pacific – is also reflected in Tuffery’s artwork.
Kowhai by Letitia Lam features the official flower of Hospice New Zealand and embodies the concept of being looked after – the essence of the service Hospice New Zealand provides and illustrated by the iconic beauty of the yellow Kowhai flower.
“It was really important to us that the artists we worked with reflected our community – and the community within which Hospice works,” says Rod.
“We are proud to tell our customers that when they purchase Hospice Baubles, the full amount is donated to Hospice New Zealand, to support their services to remain free of charge in our community.”
Hospice Baubles are sold in-store only (RRP $10) and are available from now until December 24,
