Whether it's the obligatory leather jacket, the sleek, shiny helmet or the ability to zip down the road seemingly effortlessly.

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +1200

I have to confess; I’m a hair styler addict. My natural hair isn’t even sure if it’s wavy or straight anymore. Every morning, I’m a slave to my hair straightener or curler, styling up a storm in the bathroom. My partner is exceptionally interested in my curling iron contraption. He says that it looks like something from an alien planet, rather than simply just a curling iron. He also finds it strange that I can’t just leave my hair alone. Wearing a different hairstyle each day, is like having seven different personalities, one for every day of the week.

Pay just $49 for a Miss VS Vidal Sassoon Styler Pack and mix and match your favourite party or daytime looks so you’ll never get bored. Stand out at the next party with perfectly straight, curled or crimped hair. Start off the day with straight hair, add some curls after school, and crimp your hair for a wild night-time look. The Miss VS Vidal Sassoon Styler Pack is the perfect gift for the girl who loves to style her hair, but can never pick which style to wear.

Plug your VS Vidal Sassoon Styler in and switch between the interchangeable ceramic straightener and crimper plates. Feeling wild? Add some curls or soft waves with the curling iron attachments. Style your hair with the vent brush, and get rid of those pesky knots with included comb. Add the glam headband as a finishing touch and admire your polished look in the hand mirror.

$199 for 2 Nights for 2 People & a Bottle of Wine on Arrival at Raetihi Lodge, Marlborough Sounds (value $398)

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +1200

When it comes to holidays, there tends to be two types of people. There's those who love to laze next to the pool, topping up that tan and doing nothing more energetic than flicking through the pages of a book. Then there's those to whom relaxing is an alien word. Even though they're on holiday you'll rarely find them sitting down - they'll be off biking, hiking, snorkelling, swimming... usually with holidays you have to pick one or the other, you rarely get both in the same place. Unlike today's deal.

Grab two nights for two people at Raetihi Lodge nestled within the Marlborough Sounds for $199. Including a bottle of wine on arrival, you can choose to do as much or as little as you like.

Raetihi Lodge is situated within a secluded and spectacular bay of the Marlborough Sounds, one of New Zealand's most incredible spots. With the Sounds as a natural playground, you could do everything from walking the famous Queen Charlotte track to fishing and from kayaking to mountain biking. If, however, you fall firmly into the first camp of holiday makers, Raetihi Lodge benefits from a tranquil guest lounge, complete with roaring fire, where you can curl up with a good book.

Raetihi Lodge boasts just 14 rooms so you're guaranteed an intimate experience. You'll be surrounded by comfort the second you step through the doors. They feature all the mod cons like a fridge, mini-bar, ensuite, tea/coffee making facilities and bathrobe but the real selling point is that breathtaking view from your window. There's also complimentary email and internet facilities at the business centre and wireless internet throughout the property.

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +1200

Your grandparents were tech-savvy enough to buy a camera when they were first on the market, and snapped away until the family albums were full. Your parents then whipped out the old-school video cameras and filmed your first birthday parties, your first day at school and your highschool ball.

Keep up with the technological revolution with today's deal, and bring all your age-old memories, photos, slides and videos into the new millenium. Videotapes start to deteriorate almost as soon as they're made, plus who even owns a VHS player these days? And when was the last time you held a real photograph in your hands?

Since forever I've dreamed of writing a book. I've bought How To Write A Book For Dummies books; I've enrolled in How To Write A Book evening classes; I've even thought about stalking Bill Bryson just in case he's thrown out some interesting things in his rubbish ... What? You never know? But when push comes to shove and I think about just how long it's actually going to take to write my book, my enthusiasm dwindles considerably. Then I remember my favourite books are actually picture books anyway. Bubble burst.

$21 for admission to the Canadian Club Comedy Roadshow at the Methven Heritage Centre - Saturday 20th August (value $35)

Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +1200

Lots of ridiculously hilarious things happen to me. Most of them aren't funny in the moment though; it's only afterwards that I realise what kind of fodder I could have to fill my autobiography. Don't wait around for something to become funny. Head to the Canadian Club Comedy Roadshow where hilarity is current - and actually funny.

Grab a ticket to the Canadian Club Comedy Roadshow on Saturday the 20th of August for just $21 and let the likes of funny people Brendhan Lovegrove, Justin Hamilton, Simon McKinney, Gish and Greg Fleet make you laugh until you snort. Bought to you by the producers of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, the Canadian Club Winter Games Comedy Roadshow promises a night of world-class comedy. New Zealand Comedy Guild's Best Male Comedian and local luminary Brendhan Lovegrove takes the stage as MC, hosting performances by four local and international comedians of the highest standard.

New Zealand's punniest comedian and parody maestro, the marvelously musical Gish, will perform a rendition of "Don't Go with the Big Girl in the Corner" - just one example of his musical hilarity. Brendham and Gish will be joined by master mimic and stand-up sensation Simon McKinney, whose impressions of Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and "that movie guy" make him a crowd favourite every time. Fresh from three months' gigging in the US, Justin Hamilton is a gifted writer with brilliant timing, and Greg Fleet is a living legend of Aussie comedy, one of the most experienced and popular stand-up comics currently working the world stage.

You wouldn't run a marathon without doing some serious warm ups first - all lunges and star jumps around the car park sort of thing.

Grab a round of golf for two and a bucket of balls to warm up on the driving range at Ashburton Golf Club for just $30 and enjoy some quality golf time. If you're feeling particularly generous why not treat you and dad to a round for a special Father's Day?

Once you've practised your swing and whacked some balls with a satisfying 'thunk', head onto one of the top courses in Canterbury. With easy walking and well maintained greens thanks to full irrigation and draining, it can be enjoyed all year round. There's even a resident Pro at the course so if you've got any niggling golf queries, they can be answered. Make the most of the longer days by grabbing today's deal.

$125 for an 8 Week Online Writing Workshop with Bestselling Author Jill Marshall (value $495)

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +1200

Every morning Maureen caught the 618 bus to the city where she worked as a bank teller. She was on the bus for forty minutes before it reached her stop. During that time, Maureen didn't read or listen to music like the youngsters, she preferred to look out the window and think of stories in her mind about all the things she saw. Passing a cemetery, Maureen would imagine a veteran soldier losing his soul in the war, but finding true love on his return. At the pre-school, Maureen imagined a young mind growing up to find a cure for cancer in time to save a family member. Maureen was always writing stories in her mind, and desperately wanted to start putting them to paper, but she didn't know where to start.

If, like Maureen, you've got the writing bug but you need help taking that first step, today's deal has been designed for you. Pay only $125 for an 8-week online writing workshop with bestselling author Jill Marshall at Write Good Stuff, and release that inner author who is dying to come out and take the literary world by storm.

Over an eight-week term, you will receive modular class materials via email, complete weekly assignments, and from those you'll choose some to send to Jill for review. At weeks four and eight, you'll receive detailed feedback on your chosen work-in-progress, and at the end of the programme you can talk to Jill by phone, webinar or email for a final round-up.

$59 for Teac SRL110IP iPod Stereo Dock incl. Nationwide Delivery from FirstIn (value $100)

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +1200

When The Sound of Music was hip, the closest thing we had to mobile music was carting ridiculously mammoth boom boxes around. Then our portable music-blaring devices shrank considerably. First there was the walkman, followed by the discman, followed by those fandangled MP3 players ever-decreasing in size and ever-increasing in popularity. These days, our lives are overwhelmed by iPods, iPhones and iThisThatAndTheOtherThing, but one thing that can get really annoying is when portable doesn't transition into stationary very well, which is always a bad thing when cables and headphones limit uninhibited dancing and jiving around your bedroom.

Pay just $59 for a pink or black Teac SRL110IP iPod stereo dock thanks to the cleft-loving chaps at FirstIn, and make the most of a nifty contraption that combines the best of portable and plugged into the wall.

Plug your new iPod dock into the wall and enjoy all your favourite music in the comfort of your own home. Utilise the AM/FM tuner to mix your music up a little, and with AC/DC battery capability you can always hark back to the portable days if you need to.

Here are the finer details:

AM/FM Band Radio
Universal iPod dock
IPod Skip+, Skip-, Play/Pause Button
Function Switch (AM/FM/iPod/AUX)
