So my town every year has a pallet tree decorating competition, each business buys a Christmas tree cutout made of wood to decorate and put in their windows. The public is encouraged to vote for their favourite and although there are literally hundreds of trees this year I've only photographed a portion that I've seen.
These ones are outside one of the local cafes where one of the organisations "Bald Angels" is run from. There is more information about their worthy cause here but basically they support children and youth throughout the region.
We have 2 health shops in town, this is one of them called Hardy's but it looks like they have 2 trees in their window.
They also have this grinch Christmas pallet in their front window.
This one covered in shoes, jandals and sandals is in the window of one of the many clothing shops. This one is calle eKo.
Last one seen by me is covered in kiwiana icons that are loved by many New Zealanders such as onion soup (we use it to make dip for chips), marmite and pineapple lumps in the window of Swift Conveyancing.
Linking up with Our World Tuesday, Through my lens, Tuesday Treasures, Travel Tuesday, My corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

I like the bagel shop's effort the best.
That is a fun and different decorating competition! Very creative. I best like the ones that actually made them Christmasy rather than simply advertising their shop.
I was hoping for real Christmas Trees, they all look a bit naff
Very cool to have a competition between businesses, it gives them a chance to show their creativity. My favorite is the bagel shop's tree.
Very different.
I think it would take me a while to get used to warm weather for the Christmas season, even though I fuss all winter long that I dislike the cold and the wintry precipitation.
Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/12/merry-christmas.html, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
How fun and creative!
I especially love the one covered with shoes!
What a great recycling of old pallets and a lovely community activity - they are all so creative!
Happy Christmas to you.

Despite the darn guy outside making terrible noise you made me smile and smile and smile even more, thank you.
(If you don´t hear of me again I killed him and am in jail).
What a wonderful project to get people involved.
I have never seen anything like it before.
...these are fabulous, I've always wanted to made one. Amy, I hope the that you will enjoy this week leading up to Christmas.
Lovely variety of decor!
I've never heard of pallet trees but after seeing your photos I am now a fan!!
What a great idea to make these "trees" into little works of art or in some cases, advertising. I love the one with the Santa's.
You kiwis always come up with something different and fun. The pallet trees are lovely
All you are missing is snow
