The Thought
12 berries · one box
For no reason at all. Or the best reason.

Order nowChristmas here is summer, and the gift should admit it
Strawberries are in season at Christmas in New Zealand. That is not a marketing angle, it is just the calendar, and it is the reason this works here and would not work in December in Europe.
The northern set dressing reads as borrowed. What is actually on the table in an Auckland December is fruit, and this is fruit that took a morning of work.
Christmas orders skew large, because the box gets opened in a room with people in it. Thirty-six berries is the size that goes round a table.
Which box
The difference is not generosity, it is how many people are in the room when it gets opened.

Order nowTwelve berries for a hostess gift, twenty-four for the household, thirty-six for the table that actually gets opened in front of everyone.
Need more than thirty-six berries? Larger orders are by arrangement — tell me the date and the number, and I will tell you what is possible.
What to write on the card
Every box gets its own card, cut to shape and lettered to your message. You send the words — here are ones to start from.
For the host
“Thank you for having all of us. Again. — [Names]”
For the table
“Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Made this morning, eaten by tonight. — [Names]”
You type the message at checkout, and it is lettered with exactly what you type.
How the day works
Order before 10am and the box can go out the same day. It is dipped after you order, on the day it goes out.
I confirm your delivery date the moment you order. If anything needs changing, I message you first — you never have to chase me.
I deliver across Auckland only. Fresh berries in chocolate do not survive a courier overnight.
Questions
How far ahead should I order?
The last delivery days before Christmas fill the way Valentine’s does. Tell me the date early and I hold it.
Is it a Christmas box, or just a box?
The decoration follows the season, in a summer palette: red berries, green calyx, gold where it earns its place. No snow, no fir, no baubles.
Can I order it for today?
Order before 10am and it can go out the same day. It is dipped after you order, on the day it goes out.
Do you deliver outside Auckland?
I deliver across Auckland only.
