A new baby
The most useful baby shower present there is. They will be too tired to cook and too proud to ask.
Gift a week of meals
A week of real, home-cooked meals for someone who needs a hand. New baby, surgery, or just a brutal month.
For new parents
When a baby arrives, the thing that quietly falls over is food. Nobody is cooking. Everyone is running on four hours sleep. A fridge with a week of proper meals in it is worth more than anything you will find in a gift shop.
Tell Em who it is for, roughly when they need it, and anything they cannot eat. She cooks it fresh here in the Bay and gets it to their door. They open the fridge and dinner is already handled.

When it lands best
The most useful baby shower present there is. They will be too tired to cook and too proud to ask.
Someone off their feet for a few weeks, with proper food arriving instead of takeaways.
When you want to help but do not know how, meals are the thing that actually lands.
Flowers last a week on the bench. A week of dinners gets remembered for a lot longer.
How gifting works
Their name, where they are, and when they could use the meals.
Allergies are taken seriously here. Whatever they cannot eat gets built into every single meal.
Fresh meals, made in the Bay, delivered to their door. You get to be the person who actually helped.
Message Em with who it is for and she will sort the rest. Gifting into Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa and Te Puke.
