New Zealand is a beautiful country blooming with nature and treats. Despite being so far away for most people in the world, the country has seen its fair share of tourists willing to explore the vast islands. Asides from The Lord of the Rings merchandise and lots of sheep, the country below "the land down under" has many delicious treats that any visitors must try. There is a method for you to get a hold of these items, and it will not matter where you are at the moment. Here are five must-buy souvenirs in New Zealand.

MANUKA HONEY

Manuka honey is a type of honey that is native to Australia and New Zealand. They are produced from bees that pollinate the Leptospermum scoparium bush or manuka tea tree. Multiple supporters claim that it can treat wound infections and other conditions.

Manuka honey possesses natural antibacterial elements. It can protect the body against injuries caused by bacteria. It also has anti-inflammatory components that ease pain and inflammation. Other notable features of the manuka type of honey are:

• Ease sore throat

• Treat skin conditions like acne and eczema
• Enhance oral health

TIM TAMS

Tim Tams are very famous souvenirs in Australia and New Zealand, created and manufactured by Arnott’s Biscuits, Ltd. Although they are sold in multiple countries all over the world, there may be some limited-edition Tim Tams that don’t get to travel internationally. Some of the specialty versions include:

• Coffee flavor
• Honey Comb flavor

• Strawberries & Cream flavor
• Orange & Dark Chocolate flavor
• Manuka Honey flavor

WHITTAKER’S CHOCOLATES

If you are looking for truly native New Zealand chocolates, Whittaker’s Chocolates have been a staple in the country for over a century. The company did not earn the Reader’s Digest for New Zealand’s Most Trusted Brand for ten years in a row for nothing. Their arsenal of chocolate goods include:

• Hokey Pokey
• Classic & Specialty Chocolate Blocks
• Slabs, Bars & Squares
• Tweats
• L & P

LEMON & PAEROA

Speaking of L&P, this classic and sweet soft drink is a must-have for anybody who wants a taste of New Zealand. Made in the town of Paeroa in 1907, this carbonated lemon drink has been purchased by Coca-Cola. Hinting that the rest of the world may have never heard of L&P, they are known in New Zealand to have the funny catchphrase, "World famous in New Zealand." As seen in the last section of this article, L&P is so famous that Whittaker was inspired to make a chocolate bar with lemons. The concoction is said to be made up of 28% white cocoa chocolate infused with nitty-gritty ingredients of L&P. Popping candy is added to give the snack a soda-like fizz.

PINEAPPLE LUMPS

This Kiwi tropical fruit snack is a confection filled with chocolate and a soft, chewy pineapple lump inside. Its history goes back to the 1950s in the town of Oamaru when the Regina Confectionery Company released the first pineapple lump. Cadbury had been manufacturing pineapple lumps using the Pascall brand until their factories closed in 2018. The next time you see this cute pineapple-filled chocolate piece, you know that it started in New Zealand.
