Black book promotion

One Warkworth Business Association has set up a Little Black Book gift registry initiative to take the hassle out of gift giving and encourage local shopping.

Participating retailers are supplied with a black book. Those anticipating gifts can go into the retailers, select items they would love to receive and have them noted in the books. They can then alert friends and family that if they would like to give them a gift, they can find suitable items in the Little Black Books at selected retailers.

Once gifts are purchased they are crossed off the list – avoiding the risk of receiving duplicate gifts.
One Warkworth Business Association manager Murray Chapman says the registry will encourage gift givers to buy locally – boosting local business – and at the same time take away the anxiety of knowing the appropriate gift to buy.
