​​ISSUE 127 - December 2025 / January 2026

 

Your FREE monthly magazine of all things local on the Coast.

​

Welcome, dear readers, to the final issue of The Coasties Mag for 2025. In a year that has been tough financially for many and rather unsettling on a global scale, it has been a privilege to fill our pages each month with uplifting local stories to brighten your day. 

​

To all our advertisers and contributors, thank you so much for being a part of the mag this year. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and your stories with us and for choosing us to share your brand with the Coast. 

​

To our oh-so loyal readers, thank you for continuing to value our local Coastie content, and for all the phone calls and comments we’ve received this year telling us how much you enjoy our wee mag. It means the world.

​

To round this year out with a bang, this festive issue is once again chocka block full of info and inspiration for you. We have advice for planning your cooking on Christmas day, celebration-suitable recipes for home smoked salmon and a fruit galette, tips for coping with the stressors of the Christmas season, a few gift giving ideas and all the festive goings-on at our local libraries. 

​

With January just on the horizon, we have tips on how to keep your heels looking heavenly, local fishing info for when you head out on the boat, and a hike in Pauanui that’ll help you burn off all those Christmas calories. For those quiet moments of relaxation, our book reviews will help you choose your next summer read, or be inspired by our articles profiling several local charities doing incredible work in our community.

Merry Christmas, Meri Kirihimete and please, pop your feet up and enjoy. 

 

​​​Kind regards

Claire Nevans & The Coasties Mag Team
