Round off the corporate<br />
year in style with Zealong<br />
With only four months left in the year, it’s<br />
time when many businesses are looking<br />
towards Christmas, and thinking about how<br />
they can acknowledge their employees’<br />
and clients’ valued contributions over the<br />
past 12 months.<br />
Surrounded by 1.2 million<br />
tea bushes, Zealong’s Tea<br />
House and venue spaces<br />
have become an increasingly<br />
popular location for Christmas<br />
functions of all kinds.<br />
The Vista is the venue of<br />
choice for larger companies<br />
celebrating the end of the work<br />
year with dinner and perhaps<br />
even a boogie afterward, while<br />
the Executive Suite upstairs is<br />
perfect for treating an executive<br />
team to a lavish private<br />
dining experience.<br />
The secluded Pavilion,<br />
opening up onto a terrace with<br />
spectacular views, is a popular<br />
choice for those wanting to<br />
escape the city for something<br />
different - without having to<br />
travel far. A private tour of the<br />
estate can also be included in<br />
your organisation’s end-ofyear<br />
function.<br />
Smaller teams might find a<br />
group High Tea or lunch booking<br />
at Zealong’s Tea House is<br />
the perfect indulgence for the<br />
end of the year. The Tea House<br />
has just launched a special<br />
two-course business lunch,<br />
perfect for team get-togethers<br />
or taking a client out as a gesture<br />
of thanks.<br />
Gift-giving is also important<br />
coming to this time of<br />
year - whether giving a little<br />
something to each of your<br />
staff, or sending out ‘thank<br />
yous’ to clients and associates,<br />
it can be challenging to pick a<br />
memorable gift.<br />
As the only tea producer in<br />
New Zealand, and winners of<br />
multiple international awards,<br />
Zealong has a range of items,<br />
from tea sampler tins, to specially<br />
designed tea cups, to<br />
luxurious gift boxes, which<br />
make for a thoughtful and<br />
unique gift.<br />

With more than 14<br />
years of sustainable<br />
gifting for corporate<br />
clients, it is no wonder that<br />
the team at Tree Gifts NZ are<br />
leaders in their field. Born out<br />
of the belief that the gifts we<br />
give to our friends, colleagues<br />
and clients should not be temporary<br />
or instantly forgettable,<br />
but memorable and great for<br />
the environment as well!<br />
After all there’s no point<br />
just discussing sustainability<br />
policies in the boardroom<br />
when you can show your<br />
clients and employees your<br />
environmental nature with a<br />
gift that will grow with your<br />
relationship through the years.<br />
Living gifts make fantastic<br />
conversation starters when<br />
you next talk, whether on the<br />
phone, in person, or around<br />
the coffee machine. Are they<br />
picking fruit from the tree yet?<br />
How’s that native growing?<br />
Choose your sustainable<br />
gifts from an impressive selection<br />
of gift boxes from seed<br />
gifts, bonsai, air plants, terrariums<br />
and living gift hampers,<br />
or contact the team to custom<br />
build your own around your<br />
company products, making<br />
the gift uniquely yours.<br />
