For Your Mum: dōTERRA Essential Oils
Founded in 2008, doTERRA was built on the mission of sharing therapeutic-grade essential oils with the world. Having seen for themselves the incredible benefits that can be had from using these precious resources, a group of health-care and business professionals set out to make this mission a reality. They formed a company and named it doTERRA, a Latin derivative meaning “Gift of the Earth.”
The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation seeks to bring healing and hope to the world, for lives free of disease and poverty, and to ultimately empower impoverished communities with the tools needed to become self-reliant. So, for every purchase you make, you are making a difference to someone’s life.

Available from Nespresso Boutiques or Nespresso.com.
For Your Brother (and Another): TOMS Shoes
TOMS Shoes started in 2006, when its founder Blake made friends with some kids in Argentina, and realised how desperately they needed shoes. So Blake started a shoe company called TOMS, where for every pair of shoes bought, a new pair of shoes is given to a child in need. One for one, every single time. So far, TOMS has given away more than 10 million pairs of shoes to kids in need! TOMS shoes are available from North Beach, Shoe Connection and TOMS NZ.

For the Celebration: Master of Ceremonies x Stolen Girlfriends Club
Master of Ceremonies has teamed up with the talented team at Stolen Girlfriends Club for a second sparkling rosé collaboration. This year Marc Moore, Creative Director of Stolen Girlfriends Club, referenced the archives with an iconic print that made the label a household name in 2005. The ‘Relax’ print was the first ever print they designed at Stolen Girlfriends Club, so it has a special place in their hearts. The ‘Distortion’ print is taken from their latest collection.
Remember, it’s better to give than to receive!
