What Moms Want for Christmas: The Kristy & Linda Edition

You can almost hear the sound of sleigh bells ringing, right? Christmas time is full of surprises! And who exactly makes that happen? Moms. Not Santa! Your ever-supportive mom literally deserves it all. Whether your idea of the best presents are thoughtful and practical items she’ll fa-la-la-love and use all the time, or fun treats, we have you covered!

In 1987 while traveling to New Zealand, David the founder of the company PRI met Linda and a short visit led to a thirteen year stay including marriage and the birth of their children. When David started PRI, Linda was the behind-the-scenes force, keeping the business in the green while David sourced the best manuka in the land.

Linda is now retired from PRI but, as a mom of six and a grandma of thirteen, is still pretty busy and loves products that she can use on the go. Although she admits it's hard to choose from PRI products, her favorites are the Vitamin E Cream great for dry hands and the Lozenges. Both can be slipped into a handbag and good to have on hand if needed. These items as well as the Lip Balm are great stocking stuffers. Linda always makes sure to have her cup of tea with Manuka Honey while reading so she recommends a gift set of tea, manuka honey and a good book!

Kristy, daughter of David & Linda, is now the company's CFO and a mother to three beautiful girls aged twelve, ten and three years old says “Between work and being a mom these days just fly by and this time of the year reminds us to spend that precious time with those closest to us”.

She loves to go for walks in the hills around their home, curl up with a book or sudoku puzzle. When Kristy gets out for family fun, riding bikes or hitting the beach, she always makes sure to have Manuka Honey sticks and Manuka Nuggets to keep their energy up while adventuring. On the colder evenings, after getting her kids to bed, she loves to have a cup of Pukka Chamomile Vanilla tea with Manuka honey and two Raspberry Manuka Chocolate patties, her ultimate treat after a long day. The Moment to myself gift box from PRI and Spa Gift Set by Honest Roots Farms are her ultimate choice this Christmas!

Don’t worry! Instead of getting the usual, there’s at least one thing here you’ll love to wrap up for your mom. The smallest and simplest gift can be a thoughtful way to show your love and appreciation during the holidays, you'll be sure to bring a smile to her face—and yours too! Indeed, the perfect gift does exist. 🎄
