We started our Christmas curation business, with the aim of taking the worries out of the festive season, allowing families to enjoy their well-deserved time together. For those families visiting their home away from home in Queenstown we understand the logistics involved, and offer a full service that not only encapsulates the European festive elegance, but also takes the stress and time pressures out of planning for Christmas.

We are just so delighted to share our love for Christmas with everyone who comes through their own front door, giving them more time to embody the spirit of Christmas, spending time with friends and family.

Jil is a long-time Queenstown local who is passionate about gardening, D.I.Y. projects, and her community. A two time winner of the Wearable Arts & Peoples Choice Award, Jil is driven and creatively minded: give her a can of chalk-paint and she can do anything with it! 

Jil has always loved Christmas and started Holly and Baubles as a way to bring joy to others while taking away the hard work. Kelly and Jil have enjoyed working together on numerous occasions and it was one such time when the idea for Holly and Baubles came to life in 2021. When she isn't working, Jil is at home in Arrowtown looking after her horses or spending time with her family. Jil loves making people smile, and looks forward to bringing Christmas joy to your home or office one day soon.

Kelly is a long time wannabe Queenstowner, who is terrible at gardening, believes she is fantastic at D.I.Y and loves her community.  Kelly is creatively minded: give her a can of chalk-paint and she will give it to Jil.

Like Jil, Kelly has always loved Christmas and was inspired by her time living in the UK, and experiencing the European Christmas markets.  When Kelly isn't working,  she is dedicated to raising her two young daughters, and refusing to buy them ponies because Jilly has some. She can also be found out walking her dog in the stunning landscapes of Queenstown.  Kelly wants to make a difference to your family's Christmas so that you can share some truly magical times together.
