What to bring back from New Zealand?

[tdimdad]

A simple question: what can you get in New Zealand and bring back as souvenirs / gifts to Australia that's not available in Australia? There probably is already a 99% overlap in goodies sold but is there something that's still unique to NZ?

Most (99%) of NZ souvenirs / gifts will be made in China.
NZ duty free booze can be cheaper than AU duty free

You can't go past this - it screams "New Zealand"

Bungy Jumping Toy Sheep

New Zealand is almost as famous for it’s bungy jumping as it is for it’s 30 million sheep! This Rozcraft invention combines the two to create one of NZ’s classic icons. Makes a screaming BAAAAA as you tip him over the edge. No batteries to ever go flat. Window sucker on the end of the bungy...

What a perfect way to get rid of them, then.

Now you tempt me to bring some back to the better half and myself.

Chocolate milk!
No, seriously, this one is the best!
Brought it back in a wine case once and the customs officer (also, a kiwi) had a laugh

I’m another vote for the possum fur products. So soft, light and warm. I wore a pair of possum socks until they wore right through on the heels. A sad day!

Vogels bread! I often stop at the supermarket on my way to the airport to get a loaf or two, then pop it into the freezer when I get home.

Do you think if would work if you pop a Fergburger into the freezer when you get home?

Definitely do NOT pop some honey in your carry on. They class it a liquid and needs to be in check-in luggage. I sometimes forget it is an international flight and not just a domestic hop skip and jump across the ditch. It sure hurts throwing out $50 tubs of honey.
