TradeMe is the NZ version of ebay. So far, we've bought a second-hand buggy for the Little Princess, a new bed, and a few other bits and pieces off TradeMe.
But here's something for the person who has everything - a Kiwi-shaped Feijoa!
Here's the sale pitch:
"The ultimate in traditional, natural and non-manufactured KIWIANA! This exceptional and unusual wee feijoa is perfection personified shaped as our own dear little KIWI icon. The adorable little "bird" fell from it's tree in our own back garden on Saturday 25th April - ANZAC Day. The most bizarre, natural phenomenon I've seen personally, especially since all the other feijoas off our tree have been large and regular shaped. But it quick and preserve it for posterity."
And best of all? At the time of blogging, it was going for NZ$12.50. A steal!
Or, the perfect gift for Mother's Day, apparently, is a lovely gift-wrapped box of Weta poo!
The seller trills: "Here are only a FEW reasons YOU should buy this item:
-Perfect gift for Mother's Day! (I bet Mum hasn't got one of these!)
-Totally original! (You don't see Paris Hilton carrying one of these in her bag!)
-Great little treat for miniature plants such as Bonsei Trees (little poo for little plant)
-A rarity! (When was the last time you saw a native weta poo at auction?)
-Take 'would-be insults' as a compliment... Person: "Your gift is a piece if SH*T!"You:"Thanks buddy!"
-Legitimate turd (I witnessed the journey from weta body to dining room table)-100% Biodegradable.-Comes in FREE pink gift box!"
Thankfully, the seller didn't post a photo of the actual poo.
And at last check, this, erm, unique gift, was going at the unbeatable price of NZ$11.50.
Maybe perfume and bath gel isn't such a bad option after all!
