If you've collected every annual album that New Zealand Post has ever produced, you're probably starting to run out of room on your bookshelf - because we've just printed our 25th edition! This is such an exciting milestone, and I'm thrilled to be the one to tell you all about it. That's because we've celebrated in style, producing a beautiful record of the stamp highlights of 2008 that I'll know you'll treasure for many years to come. As well as containing a special section covering our past 25 years, The New Zealand Collection 2008 takes us on a journey through 12 months of superb stamp design, with topics ranging from Sir Edmund Hillary to the Olympic Games and the centenary of the North Island Main Trunk Line. I highly recommend you order an ample supply in time for Christmas, as not only will this album make a wonderful gift, but every copy you buy will earn you an entry into the draw for a fantastic prize!
Three days and nights of pure indulgence could be yours...
Just imagine yourself and a companion enjoying the 'Ultimate Escape' at Hapuku Lodge and Tree Houses - a luxurious retreat in a truly spectacular setting near Kaikoura in New Zealand's South Island. This prize, valued at more than $5,000, includes three nights' accommodation and meals, half-day spa massage treatments, a helicopter trip to a Marlborough vineyard and a whale-watching trip off the Kaikoura coast. Sounds marvellous, doesn't it? To make sure you're in the draw, remember to buy The New Zealand Collection 2008 between 5 November 2008 and 16 January 2009. Yours sincerely

| | Tarapex Stamp Exhibition | | 
New Zealand Post is delighted to be a major sponsor of Tarapex 2008 - a philatelic exhibition to be held in New Plymouth on 7-9 November. Featuring the best in Australasian exhibits, Tarapex aims to increase public perception and knowledge of philately. To commemorate the event, we've issued a special miniature sheet and miniature sheet first day cover. | | | | | | |  | | | | Sir Edmund Hillary - a man of mountains and much, much more | | 
When Sir Ed died in January 2008, New Zealand lost its greatest hero - a man who, despite his daring and sometimes dangerous exploits, remained humble and unassuming to the end. Achieving global fame when he conquered the world's highest mountain in 1953, he went on to achieve on many other levels - as an intrepid explorer, an Antarctic adventurer, an international diplomat and, perhaps most significantly, his years of dedication to the people of Nepal. Described as the 'quintessential Kiwi', he epitomised our 'can do' attitude, tackling every challenge with tenacity, grit and a belief that nothing was impossible. In this special commemorative stamp series we pay tribute to this great man and his extraordinary achievements. | | | | |
| | Christmas 2008 Stamp Issue | | 
The story of Christmas may be the same across the world, but people's experiences and perceptions of Christmas vary immensely. For some New Zealanders, it's a family tradition repeated year after year with all the trimmings of turkey and Christmas pudding - while for others it's a day at the beach with the barbecue and a beer. It's a diversity we celebrate in style, with our Christmas 2008 stamps. | | | | | | |  | | | | Exclusive PNC Release! | |
