    Yeah bro, those things, food/clothes, is no problem. Takes about five working days to get there.
    I assume your taking the piss about the wine :D, but if not, can't help you there.

    Its not allowed normally but it may get through.
    New Zealand is one of the strictest countries on imports.

    You might want to check the Aus/NZ forum. There's a link under my user name.

    Sweets and things are fine but I don't think you've not a hope in hell of getting rashers through. You can't bring meat, any animal products (e.g. animal based souvenirs like alligator skin) or fruit and vegetables in to the country so I don't think you'd be able to send them.

    They're very strict on it. Check out the DOC (department of conservation) or customs websites to confirm.

    Also, wine? NZ wine is great and also can be got for a very good price here. Don't even get me started on vineyard tours. That is my favourite thing about NZ.

    mmmm wine!
