[padding] [If you are unable to view this message correctly, click here]( [padding] [padding] [spacer] [Stuff Logo]( [spacer] [spacer] [padding] [stuff header]( [spacer] [padding] Hi {NAME}, New Zealanders really do have great style. We see this all the time at NZ House & Garden and it regularly makes me proud to be a Kiwi. The April issue – on sale today – underscores this point with beautiful homes and gardens that reflect their homeowners’ creativity. There is also plenty in the shopping and general pages to crow about: from fresh beauty finds to tropical-inspired homeware, along with sophisticated new furniture and decor pieces specially selected by our stylist Sarah Lods. The Special Feature is another solid reason to buy this issue. It’s all about kitchens – the heart of the home – and focuses on the latest products, what’s trending and what you need to think about when planning either a revamp or a whole new kitchen. Our Deputy Editor Sharon Newey has certainly done her homework on this one and the result is a comprehensive rundown that may be enough to convince you to leave the traditional “my kitchen should be white” notion behind. I love the Easter treats food editor Julie Le Clerc has whipped up. Think Honey Marshmallow and Iced Spiced Cut-out Cookies that look fabulous in bunny and egg shapes and will delight both young and old. Julie has also used her extensive know-how and experience to navigate the culinary world of New Caledonia and written an engaging feature for our Travel section around just what you should be eating and where to go to sample it. There’s lots to enjoy so don’t miss out. And, if you aren’t already a subscriber, now is the time to sign up. Not only will you receive your favourite magazine every month in your mailbox but we also have a terrific give-away on offer. All new one or two-year NZ House & Garden subscribers will receive a Manuka Rx Pro-Aging Skin Oil worth $44.95.
