For many people, the time-honoured ritual of giving and receiving presents is their favourite part of Christmas Day.
The four Christmas stamps for 2023 depicted beautiful gifts steeped in symbolism. Gold, frankincense and myrrh were represented by the metallic colours in the wrappings. The inclusion of a sprig of native flora – clematis, pōhutukawa, silver fern and hebe - signified the unique Christmas experiences of Aotearoa New Zealand. Finally, each gift was finished with a silhouette tag that referenced the Christmas story.
