Festive fanciesContentsWith Santa’s reindeer clipping at our heels and the calendar months swooping by, NorthWest is ready for its very first festive season.

After a truly successful launch this October, and such a warm welcome from nearby residents, we’re moving towards Christmas in good cheer.

Aside from presents of every shape and size, inside our gift guide you’ll find recommendations on treats to refuel on during your visit, and all you need to know about Christmas at NorthWest Shopping Centre. We also profile four store managers, glean their personal tips on navigating the holiday season, and point you towards a selection of novel stocking stuffers that won’t break the bank.

Whether you like to get your shopping done early or prefer a last minute dash, we’ve got extended shopping hours and gift wrap stations which will be available by way of gold coin donation - with all proceeds to Massey High School.

As the first of many to come, we wish you and your family a merry holiday season.

Christmas Wish List

Team talkWe chat to members of the NorthWest retail team about festive rituals, shopping tips and the key to good gift giving.

On my wish list this Christmas is…Each year I always wish for a new surfboard to add to my little collection. Otherwise a big shiny gold watch, or that bottle of perfume I’ve wanted for ages.

What is the key to good gift giving? I like to buy my friends and family something that helps them to pursue and enjoy their passion. For a skateboarder this could be a new deck or new shoes. Or for someone who loves to laze on the beach, I’d gift a big towel or a wide brim hat so they can look good and protect their skin.

During the holiday season, what treats do you indulge in?My Mum bakes an incredible Christmas cake with sherry icing. One bite of this brings back all of my childhood memories.

Do you have any much-loved Christmas rituals?The adults in our family simply eat so much Christmas tucker that we can hardly move, while all the kids turn hyperactive, overly excited that it’s Christmas Day. My Finnish friend Emmi who works with me always has a mandatory Christmas sauna, which would be interesting given the warm weather here!

Share some of your own tips for a hassle-free Christmas shopping experience.If they are hard to buy for, don’t leave it to the last minute. Take them shopping in late October or November and listen to them suggest what they like and then take a trip in to buy it later on.

Hanna Morse – Manager at Backdoor Surf

On my wish list this Christmas is…A beautiful New Zealand oil painting from Texan Art School, a set of Imperial Sheets from Wallace Cotton and a big diamond ring (a girl can dream).

What is the key to good gift giving? I like to collect hints from friends and family throughout the year so that I can get them something they actually love. This eliminates the risk and they are always pleasantly surprised when I remember something they said months before.

During the holiday season, what treats do you indulge in?I’m a sucker for Christmas mince pies, and love Christmas Stollen but my favourite would be champagne of course.

Do you have any much-loved Christmas rituals?The kids love making gingerbread men. We decorate them together and hang them from the tree. They get eaten so quickly, none of them ever make it to Christmas Day. We often escape to Tawharanui Regional Park, an hour north of Auckland, for Christmas. Once there, a ‘must-do’ is sliding down the hill on blow-up camp beds at break neck speed. Share some of your own tips for a hassle-free Christmas shopping experience.Make the most of late-night shopping. Accept that it’s going to be busy and just roll with it. The hustle and bustle is half the fun.

On my wish list this Christmas is…To spend Christmas with my entire Ikitau family, season tickets to all 2016 Warriors games and NRL 9’s tickets.

What is the key to good gift giving? In the month before Christmas, listen out for hints. It helps to know exactly what the person likes.

What exciting things or new products can we expect from The Coffee Club in the build up to Christmas?We are open 8am - 9pm for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You have to try our crisp pizzas they are yummy!

During the holiday season, what treats do you indulge in?Omg! Christmas ham and chocolates.

Do you have any much-loved Christmas rituals?Christmas Eve midnight service and our family secret santas.

Share some of your own tips for a hassle-free Christmas shopping experience.Set a budget and stick to it. Get in early to the shopping mall to avoid queues and having to hunt for a car park.

On my wish list this Christmas is…Lots of new tech. I’d love a Macbook Pro with Retina Display 15”, A SmartTV and an iPhone 6.

What is the key to good gift giving? I am a terrible gift giver!! I like to give the gift of choice, and often opt for mall gift cards or vouchers.

During the holiday season, what treats do you indulge in?Cookie Time cookie buckets…

What are your much-loved Christmas rituals?I like to keep things simple. This means hanging out with family and friends, and having a cider in the sun. Share some of your own tips for a hassle-free Christmas shopping experience.Get in early, know what you want, have a list. Pre-shop online before going out, this way there is minimal disappointment.

Is it dessert, or is it breakfast? For the health-conscious shopper, Tank’s Acai bowl will satisfy any sweet craving in a heartbeat. Acai berry is high in antioxidants, and loaded with omega 9. Paired with a guarana shot, mango, crunchy granola and sliced banana, it’s a delicious snack that can be enjoyed on the go.

A hearty option for when you need to talk sense into some serious hunger pangs. Nani’s burger is fresh and flavoursome, made using a traditional recipe from owner Edison Zajmi’s Albanian father.

‘Fast and healthy’ rarely exist in the same sentence, yet Habitual Fix’s salad bar solves this conundrum for us. There are a large variety of salad mixes to choose from, like the Thai Beef Salad. It’s packed with grass-fed beef, mesclun, red onion, capsicum, crispy noodles, coriander, peanut, and sauced with a chili lime dressing.
