Squeee! Timaru-based TradeMe seller Weta20 recently listed item “Wooden Robot Rabbit”.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate how awesome this is.

“Yes you read correctly, a wooden robot rabbit made from recycled materials… Rimu, piano keys and pine offcuts, features large metal ears painted in an attractive blue, manoeuvrable limbs and a verdigris copper detailing on the body. Sturdy construction, stands well. 

Totally unique and a one off. Grab a special gift for that special someone. 

dimensions are approx H42cm x W14cm x D6cm 

In a time of mass production and plastic its nice to know you can still get that unique one off gift for Xmas. “

I’d love to get someone this for Christmas but I’m afraid the envy would be unbearable.

I love buying unique, one-off gifts. It’s the first day of December today here in Auckland, New Zealand. Retail is going to be insane for the next few weeks. If you have a choice, support local made! If we all buy just 1 or 2 gifts that are locally made, it will make the holiday season for our own communities a little brighter.

Do you buy local made? Will you?
