They’re back!  Freda Wells and Annabel Wilson, the two friends behind The Kiwi Diary, are happily delivering design-led style and inspiration to bookshops, galleries, cafés and Christmas stockings all over the country once again.  With ample space to plan your life throughout 2012, The Kiwi Diary is a window into the thriving heart of Kiwi culture, peppering each month with equal measures of innovation, inspiration and nostalgia.  This 250 page, full colour publication proudly showcases established and emerging Kiwi artists, writers and poets.  The diary concept has been improved and refined over the years, so that a discerning new breed of diary has evolved into a must-have for lovers of Aotearoa the world over.

Each page is transformed into a vehicle for inspiration with delicious Kiwi recipes, Te Reo, famous Kiwi quotes, historic moments, tips on sustainable living and thought-provoking articles delivering mindfood that renders the blank-paged ordinary diary a distant memory. 

Back in 2004 Annabel Wilson, a secondary school English teacher and freelance writer, took her novel concept to Freda Wells, graphic design guru and all-round positive action taker, with whom she had a long history of “random creative projects” to help bring her idea into fruition. Together they collaborate with artists, designers, gardeners, foodies, scientists, writers, and original thinkers around New Zealand to create a daily planner to fuel what they call the “inspiration cycle”, 365 days a year. 

100% NZ-made and printed on FSC-certified stock using biodegradable inks, The Kiwi Diary combines a socially aware and eco-responsible ethos with street savvy. Woven into this year’s edition are a multitude of engaging stories including articles about Aotearoa’s Kermadecs region, the comeback of knitting and cloth nappies, the iconic Flat White, New Zealand’s native moths, creating a skink friendly garden and the joys of spring skiing.

Keen contributors to The Kiwi Diary 2013 should submit their images, words and ideas to kiaora@thekiwidiary.co.nz.
