2023 Adashiko Christmas Gift Guide
Some say receiving gifts is their love language. And while, obviously, we love that, too ~ here at Adashiko HQ - gift giving is our kind of love language. So it’s no surprise that Christmas lights us up.
But if you’re like us ~ there’s always that special someone who is a little tricky to buy for ~ whether it’s your daughter or sister-in-law who has (almost) everything, the teacher of your little people who has been oh-so-patient all year, or your mum who insists she doesn’t need anything (but you love the look on her face when you surprise her) ~ our Adashiko HQ team has you covered with their fav gifts to impress + businesses they’ll be supporting this festive season.
Luci Firth ~ Adashiko Owner + Managing Director
What Adashiko product are you popping under the tree for yourself this year?
I am absolutely putting the Adashiko Joy + Woodland Candles under the tree for myself. I can’t choose a favourite. And don’t tell them ~ but every member of my family is also receiving one. They are divine + make the house smell so incredible.
What’s your fav Adashiko product for gifting + why?
My favourite product for gifting this year is the Christmas Gift Box as it includes my favourite Adashiko product ~ our Collagen Gel Masques + also your choice of either the Joy or Woodland Candle + the Plush Eye Pillow. Win Win.
Tell us about any other businesses you’ll be shopping with this Christmas…
I love to support local as much as I can, especially Hawke’s Bay businesses that have had it tough this year. Picnic in Ahuriri (Napier) has beautiful giftware + super yummy treats! Some of our incredible local stockists have great giftware selections, too, which are worth the visit ~ Ahuriri Pharmacy in Napier + Gilmours Pharmacy in Havelock North.

Definitely the Collagen + Noni Gel to keep up my skin hydration levels over the hot sunny days.

I am making a conscious effort to support New Zealand local businesses this year with my Christmas shopping. In my travels I have seen the gorgeous array of Christmas gifts our stockist pharmacies + salons have. Plus free gift wrapping ……. Yes please!
Tamara Hogan ~ Distribution Manager
What Adashiko product are you popping under the tree for yourself this year?
I’ve got two can’t-live-without-summer-essentials. And I’ll be popping them under the tree for a To: Me / From: Me moment this year. Our cult favourite Collagen + Noni Gel (our ultimate 5-in-1 anti-ageing formula to exfoliate, tone, hydrate, repair + regenerate) + Collagen Gel Cloth Masques.
What’s your fav Adashiko product for gifting + why?
I try to find a balance between easy-gifting, but still making sure it’s something my family + friends will actually use + love. This year I feel like our limited edition Christmas Candles make the perfect present. The Joy Christmas Candle is my absolute fav. And if you pop a single (or box of 5) Collagen Gel Cloth Masque in with it ~ you’ve got yourself an easy, beautiful + thoughtful gift (perfect for teachers, too).

I can’t go past Ahuriri Pharmacy in Napier without popping in. They’ve got a great Christmas 2023 Lookbook on their website ~ showing a gorgeous collection of Christmas decorations, home decor, accessories, sleepwear, children’s clothing + cosmetics.
Tessa Whitehouse ~ Creative Administrator
What Adashiko product are you popping under the tree for yourself this year?
Practical, but perfect ~ I’ll be popping my fav Ultra Collagen Travel Sachets under the tree for myself this year. Because summer adventures + collagen travel sachets = I don’t ever have to worry about missing my daily dose. Oh and the Joy Christmas Candle. As soon as we started burning this scent at Adashiko HQ, I knew I wanted the blend of Christmas spices with sweet + balancing notes to flicker throughout my home.
What’s your fav Adashiko product for gifting + why?
It’s a gift for the senses ~ I’ll be wrapping up the Joy Christmas Candle + our Signature Soothe Bath Salts for a few of my fav people this year.
Tell us about any other businesses you’ll be shopping with this Christmas…
We are so lucky in Hawke’s Bay to have beautiful giftware shops ~ Blackbird Goods is a personal fav (yes, they ship within NZ, to Australia + the rest of the world if you email them for a custom shipping quote) + I love Gee’s Pharmacy in Taradale for stocking stuffers. I also can’t resist a little look at the always-tempting The Iconic ~ for gift ideas both for myself + family
Karen Anderson ~ Business Development Support
What Adashiko product are you popping under the tree for yourself this year?
I’ll be sneaking my two favourites under the tree for myself this year. Our Silk Repair Eye Cream is incredible for refreshing + replenishing the delicate under eye area. Insider tip ~ keep the eye cream + quartz application spatula in the fridge for an extra-refreshing application. I also can’t live without our Collagen + Noni Gel to keep me looking + feeling gorgeous all summer long.
What’s your fav Adashiko product for gifting + why?
Our Skincare Discovery Kit is my go-to gift for family + friends. Every time I’ve gifted it, it’s been so well received. It’s perfect as an introduction to collagen skincare + the travel-friendly minis are great for packing light for your summer holidays. Who doesn’t love hydrated, healthy + glowing skin?

Torpedo 7 for the grandies is always a popular choice. Madisons + Flo + Frankie in Napier always have divine gifts for my daughter + daughter-in-law ~ you can’t go wrong.
