While those of us in the Northern Hemisphere cosy up with hot chocolate and twinkling fires, Kiwis are basking in sunshine, enjoying barbecues on the beach, and celebrating with fresh blooms and ocean breezes. ☀️🎄 That chat sparked an idea: to design a summer-Christmas collection that captures the warmth, joy, and relaxed spirit of a Kiwi Christmas. The result became my Meri Kirihimete Collection , now available in my Zazzle store and as printable cards in my Etsy shop .
