Waste not, want not! Gift shopping with a difference

Being the editor of NZS.com has opened my eyes to the New Zealand Web space…

In my time here, I’ve visited tens of thousands of sites and added over 30,000 new Kiwi sites to the directory, so it’s fair to say I’ve seen my share of odd ‘n’ quirky things in my time. But never anything like Endangered Faeces, who sell gifts made from, um, you know.

These pooey little animal statues are made from the doo of New Zealand zoo creatures! Each compost animal contains a fertiliser which promotes the growth of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables in your garden. All you need to do is dunk your wee animal in cold water then let him graze at the base of your chosen plant. Dada! Instant fertiliser and essential nutrients for your plant.

For these and other unusual gifts, take a browse through our popular gift shops category.
