Mint set of three self-adhesive stamps.
Individual stamps
$2.30 Family - For many Kiwis, Christmas is all about reuniting and connecting with loved ones. Although the rituals of the season and Christmas Day will be unique to each whānau, time spent together is often a cornerstone of seasonal celebrations.
$3.60 Food - Christmas is often centred around a special meal that might take place any time between Christmas Eve and Christmas Night. Some people enjoy a warming northern hemisphere-style roast, while others will make the most of the summer weather with a barbeque or a picnic on the beach.
$4.30 Pets - Pets are important members of many households - just watch them around the Christmas tree! With visitors and changes in routine, it’s important to take extra care of pets during festivities.
