Great Gifts for the Sporty ones

2011-02-15T20:02:00.001-08:00

Here at Browniepoints, like to unwind by being outdoors. Sometimes, we unwind with a game of golf or we might take the bikes out and hit the open road or the mountain bike trails. So, we've got loads of great gifts for the sporty ones.

For the Surfer
You prize your lovely board that lets you ride the waves, but want to keep it dry and clean (and the car if you put it inside the car), so we've got this great Board Bag.

This Curve brand Overstayer Boardbag is thoughtful design at its best. With the versatility to fit up to 3 different sized boards, a wetsuit, sleepmat, spare gear and pretty much your whole wardrobe. Or can be small and compact – carrying only one board. An internal separator panel creates a wax/water resistant ‘cleanzone’ compartment. And yes, you can sleep on it too. Told you it was good.
Golf
For those that like to hit the Links and the Fairway, we've got a great selection of Golf Gifts

For the untidy golfer - this Golf Tidy will make life easier:

This kit of clips onto your buggy and keeps golf balls, tees and divot repairer at the ready (all items included).

Need to remove your ball to clean it? We've got this ideal gift: a Golf Ball Marker

Cycling
For the cyclist, we've got some great gifts too. "See and be seen" - this Multi-functional Headlight will brighten the darkest of roads.

With 5 super bright LEDs and a 150hour endurance, its the perfect gift.

Flowers

"Roses are red, Violets are Blue, these are for you" and at Browniepoints, we've got flowers for every occasion.

Flowers that last a long time
If you want a flower present that lasts many weeks, we've got some interesting gifts.
How about an Orchid: cared for well, the flower can last for several months and the plant can regrow.

A Tree will grow and grow on you and remind you of that wonderful gift you were given by someone special.

Lilies

For me, there is nothing more striking than a bunch of lilies: fragile, yet strong they have a powerful impact on the eye. This bunch of White Oriental Lilies are a wonderful gift.

Chocolate Flowers
There is only one thing better than a bunch of flowers and that is a bunch of flowers made from chocolate. We've got a wonderful selection of this yummy gift - including my idea of absolute heaven: chocolate flowers and champagne

Here are some GREAT Christmas Gift Ideas

2009-11-27T21:53:00.001-08:00

I know it's still a few weeks till Christmas and it feels like it's still months away but we all know how time just runs away so I thought it's about time to tell you a bit about all the great Christmas gifts browniepoints has on offer.

If you get all your Christmas gifts early you save yourself the last minute stress, so why not start having a look at these great gift ideas.

BBQ Grill Thermometer with Remote

Kiwis LOVE BBQs - We all know that! And since Christmas on this side of the world is right at the beginning of summer, BBQ items are great Christmas gifts. We have a fantastic range of BBQ products, like for example this BBQ Grill Thermometer with Remote which makes BBQs so much easier. I don’t know about you, but I like having my friends over for a few drinks and a nice BBQ during summer. But it's such a shame that someone always has to be standing at the BBQ to make sure everything gets cooked for the right time at the right temperature. Well, this thermometer can solve that issue. Simply place you food on the BBQ, choose the right settings, set the Alarm, go and socialise with your friends or family and wait for the Alarm to go off to tell you your food is ready! I'm sure you know at least one person who would love this gift for Christmas this year.

Pink Christmas Gift Set with Bubbles

Strawberry Champagne and chocolate – what more could a girl want?! Well, there is not much more I want. This great girly gift set is one of our many new items and I'm sure it will be super popular. If you need a Christmas gift for a girl, you just can't go wrong with this yummy set and maybe you're lucky and she will even let you have some of the chocolate and the champagne (I wouldn't count on it though).

Baby Tree Gift Box with Ceramic Pukeko
These boxed baby trees are some of our most popular products; not surprisingly as I might add. This set is new in the range and I just love the colourful little ceramic Pukeko. I just couldn't decide if it's cuter when it's sitting or standing so I merged to two images together to show you both. Trees are great gifts, because they are unique and they last a long time. And this new set will bring some colour into the life of someone you love.

OK, I don't want to overwhelm you, so I will leave it with these three products for now, but will be adding some more soon. And remember, there is a HUGE range of gifts available on our website, so visit www.browniepoints.co.nz and have a look around!

Winnie The Pooh Kite for Kids

This is a present my little nieces would love. They are huge Winnie The Pooh fans and just love being active. They would have so much fun running around in the park or at the beach with this awesome Kite. We also have a Bob The Builder Kite so you have the choice!

Golf Putting Set

Do you always find it super difficult to find a present for dad? Well, if your dad is into golfing we can help you! We have a whole range of great gifts for golfers, like this awesome golf putting set. I can't say that I'm a talented golfer, but I took this set home and gave it a go and you wouldn't believe how much fun it was. So this set is not just a great gift for a golfer, I'm sure lots of people would have as much fun as I did.

Kids Kitchen Apron

I remember how much I used to love helping mum cooking and backing when I was little. Even thought, thinking about it now, I probably wasn’t that much help. But I’m sure you know a kid that loves backing and cooking as much as I did and wouldn’t they love having their own little apron?
