Bring Home a Bauble,
Remember Someone Special,
And Support Hospice Tairāwhiti this Christmas!
Christmas is a time for remembering, connecting and giving. This year, a visit to Gisborne Farmers offers two special ways to support Hospice Tairāwhiti and the care we provide to our local terminally-ill patients and their whānau.
The annual Farmers Hospice Christmas Campaign is back, and we’re so grateful to have our local Gisborne Farmers team alongside us once again.
Last year, together, the Farmers team and their generous customers helped raise an incredible $7,495.07 for Hospice Tairāwhiti. That’s our Tairāwhiti community coming together to raise funds that help us care for local people, and it honestly means the world to us. The enthusiasm, generosity and willingness to get behind Hospice makes such a difference, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who plays a part.
Add to your Christmas bauble collection
The 2026 Limited Edition Hospice Christmas Bauble is now available at Gisborne Farmers for $15.99.
Each year brings a brand-new bauble design, and for many supporters, collecting them has become a special Christmas tradition. If you haven’t started your collection yet, this could be the year!
This year’s design, ‘Fern and Stars’, features the iconic silver fern alongside stars that shine bright through the night. Representing strength, resilience, connection, hope and comfort, it’s a beautiful addition to any Christmas tree and a heartfelt reminder of those we love, whether they are with us or remembered in spirit.
And there’s an even more special reason to make it part of your Christmas. Thanks to Farmers, 100% of the purchase price of every bauble sold at Gisborne Farmers goes directly to Hospice Tairāwhiti. Every $15.99 purchase helps fund the free specialist care and support we provide to local patients and their whānau. Your support stays right here in our community.
Remember Someone Special at the Tree of Remembrance
The Tree of Remembrance is another special part of the annual campaign, offering an opportunity to pause and think about the people (and pets!) who hold a special place in our hearts.
From 12 November to 24 December, you can make an open donation at Gisborne Farmers and receive a remembrance card to write your own personal message. Simply hang your card on the dedicated Tree of Remembrance in-store.
Remembering isn’t only about those who have passed away. You might like to remember family living overseas or elsewhere in the country, friends you don’t get to see as often as you’d like, or a much-loved pet. It’s a chance to celebrate the connections that matter to us, wherever they may be.
Every dollar donated through the Tree of Remembrance stays right here in Tairāwhiti, helping Hospice Tairāwhiti provide essential care and support for local patients and whānau when they need it most.
Whether you’re adding this year’s bauble to a growing collection, starting a new Christmas tradition, gifting one to someone special or leaving a message on the Tree of Remembrance, your generosity makes a real difference.
A heartfelt thank you to Gisborne Farmers and everyone who supports this wonderful annual campaign. Together, we’re helping ensure local patients and their whānau continue to receive the care they need, close to home.
