Kia ora!
Hope you’ve been having a good week so far. This issue is absolutely stacked with events!
BUT, before we dive in, I’ve got something super cool to share with you 👀
My friends over at SINGMYTEXT.COM are sponsoring this week’s issue and honestly the timing could not be better with CHRISTMAS coming up.
They’re NZ’s first fully custom song service. You tell them who it’s for, what you want included, inside jokes, embarrassing stories, etc, and they turn it into a studio quality song in UNDER 48 HOURS.
Imagine the amazing gifts you can create with this. A love song for your partner, a roast song for your mate, a funny track for the whole friend group and so much more.
And because they’re a local business and love The Bagel they wanted to give you all a nice discount.
Use code BAGEL at checkout for 15% OFF your order which means you end up paying only $40 for a fully custom made studio level song.
Isn’t that insane?!
I used it myself for a friend’s birthday and genuinely could not recommend it more.
Support local this Christmas and give them a go.
Buying through them also directly helps support The Bagel since it earns a small commission on each sale which helps keep this newsletter FREE for everyone.
