In an age where retail giants drop ship their way into our lives, Show TV proudly stands as a true Kiwi success story, brimming with resilience and community spirit. Nestled in the heart of Mount Maunganui in the Bay of Plenty, we're not just a business; we're your neighbours, mates, and an integral part of the local fabric. As we approach our 18th birthday, we reflect on what it means to be a Kiwi-owned and operated business and why shopping locally in The Mount matters now more than ever.
The Show TV Story: A Local Legacy
Eighteen years ago, we embarked on a journey with a vision - to source and provide quality products, with a twist. We love to show you how our products work. When we demonstrate our products at fairs and events across the country, we too often hear remarks like “WOW!” and “Do you come with it too?!” And it never gets old for us. That’s because everything we sell here, we use ourselves.
Nothing fills us with joy and pride more than taking that extra step to show you how things work - from perfecting your Pork Crackle to washing your Windows! As a result, we've built an ever-growing family of professional and knowledgeable staff and a greater community of customers, all of whom we are grateful for every day.
Today, we're proud to say that we've not only achieved our goals but exceeded them. Our roots are deep in New Zealand soil, and we are 100% committed to maintaining our (self-proclaimed) local legend status.
Why Shopping Locally Matters
Shifting our business from predominantly in-person to the digital realm since 2020 has been quite the journey. We swiftly transitioned from being the friendly face at your local fair to being the friendly face on your Facebook feed in a matter of weeks! Those times really threw everything at the kitchen sink at us, but we were determined to continue maintaining the connections we've built with you over the years. And here we are now - the same real people behind your screens, and we're always here for you!
In an age of convenience and online shopping, it's easy to be swayed by the allure of fast and cheap options.
But here's where we invite you to consider the bigger picture:
Supporting Local Jobs: When you choose to shop locally, you're supporting your neighbours and fellow members of your community. At Show TV, we employ a diverse pool of talented people from all walks of life, continuously nurturing growth in our economy.
Quality Over Quantity: We've all been lured by those too-good-to-be-true deals from overseas sellers. But what's often hidden behind those bargains are compromised quality and ethics. At Show TV, we take pride in curating products that meet Kiwi standards and values.
Personalised Service: Local businesses like ours offer personalised service like nobody else can. We know you by name, and we even remember what size pan you bought at the Auckland Home Show last year! Making you happy truly matters to us.
Sustainability: Supporting local businesses often means reduced carbon footprints due to shorter supply chains. We are committed to being as environmentally responsible as possible and are constantly working towards minimising our impact on the environment.
Our Promise to You
As we celebrate our 18th birthday, our promise to you remains the same: We will continue to source innovative quality products at competitive prices, products that will “make you say wow every time”! Our service will always be warm, kind, and accommodating. We will always be your devoted, locally-owned and run retailers.
Join Us in Celebrating 18 Years
Show TV's journey wouldn't have been possible without your loyalty. As we celebrate our 18th year, we invite you to be part of this impressive anniversary.
Consider shopping locally not just as a transaction but as an investment in your community's future. Help us continue to be a beacon of Kiwi enterprise, community support, and quality goods. When you choose Show TV, you're not just making a purchase; you're making a difference. Here's to 18 years and many more to come. Thank you for being part of our incredible adventure! Happy Birthday to Us, and Cheers to You, our Show TV family!

At Show TV NZ we have a variety of products that we reckon will make your Dad the happiest one in New Zealand this Father’s Day 2022. We’ve compiled a special ‘Dad’s Deals’ collection on our website of the best Father’s Day gifts to show your mate how much they mean to you!
]]>Here at Show TV, we are constantly keeping an eye out for innovative, market leading products that we can bring to our little corner of the world and share with our fellow Kiwis. That’s why, two or three years ago, when we came across Sistaco mineral nail powder, we were intrigued.
Hearing that a product is a mineral nail powder raised several questions in our minds, the first being how on earth does this work? But after learning about the product, a new question came to mind, how on earth do we get our hands on such a fantastic product?!
After partnering up with the owners who created the nail system over in Australia, we were able to bring this product in as a new member of the Show TV family and the response to it has blown us away. The innovation of this product has led to it becoming a market leader for nail and other cosmetic products to follow and we couldn’t wait to share it with our fellow Kiwis.
Fast forward a couple of years and I’m sure a lot of you have heard about and even tried out Sistaco NZ mineral nail powders before, but for those of you who are new to Show TV, or haven’t had a chance to learn about this amazing product, we wanted to put a little blog together, introducing you to the revolutionary at home nail kit that will change the way you get your nails done forever!
Setting itself apart from other nail products from the get go, Sistaco NZ mineral nail powders are free of 9 toxic chemicals that nail and cosmetic products usually contain, as well as being vegan and cruelty free to help you express your style and creativity in a safe and ethical way.
With over 70 colours to choose from, promoting uniqueness and creativity is a priority for Sistaco NZ, which is evident through their classic and holographic range of colours. If sparkles aren’t your thing, immerse yourself in the classic range of mineral powders. These classic mineral powders add the perfectly subtle shimmer or shine to any occasion, allowing you to match your colour of choice perfectly to any outfit, event or mood. Alternatively, if you can’t think of anything better than bright, extravagant nails, take a scroll through the range of holographic mineral powders to choose the perfect colour that will add a bit of sparkle to your life. Comprised of multi-coloured glitter with a high sparkle, this show stopping range of colours gives your nails a 3D effect that sparkle and show off their different undertones when you move them in the light. On top of this, as the colours are mineral based powders, you can mix a selection of colours together to create your very own unique, one of a kind colour creation!
Not only do they sport over 70 colours but they also have Sistaco NZ nail kits. The at home nail kits come with a variety of options to suit everyone. If you are a seasoned Sistaco user and nail specialist, the Ultimate Base Kit is for you! With three colours of your choice, a gloss and matte top coat, an express remover, a couple of ‘make your own colour’ mixing pots and more, this kit will keep your nail needs satisfied. On the other hand if you love doing your own nails but have never tried out Sistaco before, the Deluxe Base Kit will suit your needs. With three colours of your choice, this kit contains a top coat, base coat, applicator brush, ‘make your own colour’ mixing pots and an LED light. The Deluxe Base Kit is a great way to start your Sistaco journey and experiment with the fabulous colours. And lastly, if you are completely new to doing your own nails and want to see what Sistaco NZ is all about, the Sistaco Foundation Base Kit is just for you! With one colour of your choice, this kit comes with the top and base coat in applicator pens, rather than bottles, to help improve accuracy and allow you to practice your nail creations without jumping straight into the deep end.
Fortunately, your nail needs are by no means limited to the items in the Sistaco nail kits and you can actually add as many colours as you want to each kit so you never have to worry about having naked nails again! On top of this, you can also get anything and everything from the kits individually, from colours, to removers, top and base coats and other accessories, to make your nail journey as easy as possible.
With easy application and your very own LED light, the Sistaco NZ mineral powders leave your nails instantly dry after application, meaning no more smudging your wet nail polish when you prematurely try to tie your laces or wash the dishes!
As well as this, you can avoid mess and waste by applying the powder onto your nails over a piece of paper and tipping the excess powder straight back into the pot, preserving as much powder as possible!
Quick, easy, customisable and fun, the Sistaco NZ nail kits are revolutionary. Providing you with a salon quality finish from the comfort of your own home, as well as saving you hundreds of dollars and trips to the salon, our Sistaco nail products are for everyone to enjoy!
To celebrate the popularity of this product, we have made Sistaco NZ it’s very own website and social media channels. Follow the links below to check out the easy to navigate website and scroll through the range of colours, nail kits and accessories that are on offer for you. Don’t forget to check out the social media channels we have also created for Sistaco NZ to see some of the incredible, unique creations that our customers have made and shared with everyone.
Sistaco Nail Powder – Sistaco Nails New Zealand
]]>For the past 15 years, here at Show TV we have prided ourselves on the ability to bring the latest trending and coolest products from all over the world to our shores in New Zealand so we can share them with fellow Kiwis.
But what constitutes a ‘cool’ product?
All of the products that we bring into our little Show TV family have a story to tell. Whether it's a market leading beauty product, life changing bedding or revolutionary cookware, our products come from backgrounds that are encompassed with interesting stories and of course, our newest product is no exception.
On the surface, our Sweepa rubber brooms may look no more interesting than a cleaning product, but the story of how these rubber brooms are made is something else entirely.
Here at Show TV, doing all that we can to help the environment is extremely important to us. Whether it's using recycling bins in the office, reusing packaging and boxes from our shipments or reselling products so they don’t go to waste, we try our best to implement environmentally conscious practises in and around the workplace.
So how does the Sweepa broom support environmentally friendly practises?
Made from natural rubber, the materials to make the Sweepa rubber brush come from the Rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis). Rubber trees naturally consume Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and produce elastomer (Latex). Humans have learnt to harvest natural latex by harmlessly ‘tapping’ rubber trees to remove a milky sap from the bark, without cutting down or damaging the tree in the process, a system that has major benefits both environmentally and economically.
When it comes to environmental benefits, the process of harvesting latex from rubber trees plays a pivotal role in reforestation. After 30 years the latex yield efficiency of a Rubber tapped tree drops; it then gets chopped down and the wood is used either as a biofuel, furniture wood or light manufacturing wood. However, every time a tree is chopped, 10 new trees take its place, and this constant circle plays an integral part in creating oxygen and recycling CO2 into reusable energy. A single Rubber tree can add 1 metric ton of CO2 in its 30 year cycle, which means that just one hectare can add an incredible 300 tons of carbon credits in this time. Sri Lanka, where most rubber tree plantations are found, can therefore contribute 42 million MT by 2021.
As well as reforestation, rubber tree plantations also have major agronomic benefits. Rubber plantations are generally grown where other crops can't grow (against radiants of hills) which makes them an integral part of soil conservation. Agronomic efficiency is improved as the soil directly benefits from the abundant fall of leaves from the Rubber trees, which makes the multi-crop growing of coffee, Cocoa and Vanilla possible.
When it comes to economic benefits, as the world renowned country for producing the best latex available, 60% of the Latex produced from Sri Lanka is farmed and cultivated by small crop farmers and plantation workers, which in turn supplies them with a much needed sustainable income and long term projects. The Sri Lanka Rubber Institute is the oldest in the world and plays a direct role in helping crop farmers manage, control, and reforest their Rubber plantations to full potential.
Knowing and understanding where our products come from is so important as it can not only help us appreciate the backstory of some of the product we have here at Show TV, but it can also give us a deeper understanding as to how our products might be contributing to the environment, whilst economically benefiting the country that they came from.
Now turned into a multi-use rubber brush that can help us sweep, scrub, wash and squeegee around the house, how cool is it to know that our Sweepa rubber brooms have such a versatile and rich history, contributing to the environmental and economic practices in Sri Lanka.
]]>The Fieldays are back and better than ever!
As the biggest live event in winter the Fieldays is like a mid-year Christmas for us here at Show TV and since it was cancelled last year due to COVID-19, this year we are super excited to be attending such a prestigious event. As the ultimate launch platform for cutting edge technology and innovation, this year at the Fieldays we are going bigger than ever, displaying some of our best selling and most popular products on the market that you won’t be able to live without, from cookware, to outdoors, cleaning, bedding and health and beauty products, we have it all this year at the Fieldays.

Of course, we wouldn’t turn up to the Fieldays without our popular Euroblade heaters! Our Euroblade heaters have an IP55 certified water and dust resistant rating and a high corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel protection grill, meaning they can be used both indoors and outdoors, heating farm sheds, workshops, outdoors spaces and homes alike. As well as heating up quickly and being great for outdoor use, the Euroblade heaters use infrared heating technology, which means they warm people, rather than spaces. This means you will be left feeling warm and cosy in seconds, without the space you are in overheating. Featuring 4 different heat settings, you also have complete control over the heat output and power consumption of your Euroblade heater. The Euroblade heaters also feature a handy remote control, meaning you can adjust your temperature level and even set a timer that will automatically turn the heater off at your desired point throughout the day or night, without having to move a muscle.
With an easy set up and a slick modern design, the Euroblade heaters can mount vertically and horizontally on a wall or ceiling, whilst blending in beautifully with your home.
Make sure to give Sean a wave at the Fieldays and stop by to check out his demonstration on our brilliant Euroblade heaters.
As the biggest agricultural event in the year, the Fieldays is a great chance for us to show off some of our most innovative outdoors products that will make your life easier than ever, providing the perfect purchase for farmers, agricultural workers and homeowners alike. This year at the Fieldays, we will therefore be selling The Great Bungee Cord! Holding up to 27kgs, the Great Bungee cords can act as any length, as they are fully adjustable from just 20cm long to 182cm long. Featuring a patented cam system to adjust to any length for your convinience, this means that you won’t need a bucket load of tangled bungees!

If you’re looking for something a little more relaxing this year, look no further! We also have a range of silk bedding for you to check out!
Did you know?
Mulberry Silk is a natural insulator. In winter, the large fibres of silk reduce heat loss from your body, and in the summer, silk wicks moisture away from your body, keeping you cool and comfortable. That's right, you have finally found a duvet that keeps you both warm in the winter and cold in the summer! This also means that you will no longer argue with your partner about which duvet to use or whether or not to have the fan on, as Mulberry silk duvets satisfy two people who sleep at different temperatures!
As well as this, Mulberry silk duvets are lightweight. Rather than hauling a heavy winter duvet over your bed every year, these duvets are lightweight and breathable, ensuring a regulated and even sleep temperature, as well as providing comfort for those that don’t like having a heavy duvet restricting them during the colder months. Many of our customers over the age of 65 also say silk helps take pressure off their bodies whilst sleeping which is great for arthritis sufferers.
Say hello to Bridget and Steph this Fieldays and stand by to learn about the numerous health benefits of silk bedding.
Ever wished you could get a personalised massage at home without having to book an appointment? This year on display at the Fieldays we have our Casada massage chairs. Using top of the line technology, Casada massage chairs give you the ultimate massaging experience to provide relaxation, pain relief and improve the health and function of the entire body.
Transforming nails, one hand at a time, Sistaco will also be at the Fieldays this year! Using natural mineral powders, Sistaco provides an easy to apply at home nail system that allows you to create unique, salon-quality nails from the comfort of your own home!
Take a break from your busy day browsing the farming equipment on display and visit Dennis to try a Casada massage for yourself and while you’re at it, have a chat with Lorna and Ala whilst getting free a Sistaco nail demonstration on one of your nails!
This Fieldays we are not holding back, we have our best and most popular products all set and ready for you to check out so don’t forget to give our friendly show demonstrators a visit to learn all about our 'must have’ products this year at the Fieldays!

Whether you love it, or you hate it, it cannot be stopped. Winter often comes around a lot quicker than we expect and most of us go from lying on the beach in the sun one day, to wearing jackets, jumpers, coats, gloves and beanies the next!
While some people can’t get enough of the cold, others think they are going to get frostbite at any given moment. Unlike our friends on the other side of the world, we don’t get white Christmas’ here, and instead, the middle of the year can often seem like it’s never going to end.
As we know winter isn’t for everyone, we have created a variety of products to make getting through the colder months as easy as possible. Whether you're a winter lover or hater, these products will make winter more enjoyable for everyone!
We all know how frustrating the nights between summer and winter can be. During the summer, you swap your thick winter duvet for a thin sheet or blanket and as we transition into winter, you face a common dilemma; it’s too hot for your winter duvet, but too cold for your summer sheet, and as winter slowly creeps up, you haul your heavy winter duvet back out of the wardrobe, knowing that in just a few months you will be putting it away again for your summer sheet. What a process!
But please, don’t fear, Show TV is here!
If this scenario sounds familiar, we have the perfect solution… Mulberry Silk duvets.

]]>You’re young, three or four years old. You’re running around outside playing tag. Suddenly, a loose shoe lace sneaks under one of your feet and the next thing you know you’re lying on the ground with bloody knees and tears running down your face. You pull yourself up off the floor and make your way inside your house. Doing your best impression of the wailing woman at the opera and heading straight for your room to begin the pity party for one, you see the steam wafting out of the bathroom and find a nice hot bath with your favourite toys waiting for you...
You’re a bit older now, 13 or 14. You’re running late for school. You’ve left your room in a mess because you didn’t have time to clean it in between watching TV and building that school project you left until the last minute. In a rush, you spoon cereal into your mouth, take a last sip of your orange juice, grab your bag and run out of the door. Later that afternoon when you arrive home, your room is clean, your dishes have been done and your bed is freshly made…
Fast forward a few years. You’re now entering your 20’s, and the stress of trying to figure out what you want to do with your life, on top of juggling all the responsibilities of adulthood is overwhelming. You decide to go home for a few nights to visit your family. As soon as you walk into your house, the smell of your favourite dinner fills the air and instantly you smile, relaxing from the responsibilities that you were consumed by a mere few hours ago…
Believe it or not, these things didn’t appear out of thin air. It wasn’t magic that healed your aches and pains, it wasn’t pixies or fairies that cleaned up after you and it wasn’t the food that cooked itself…
It was your mother.
They look after us when we’re young, put up with us as we grow older and continuously support us when we leave the nest. It's no secret that mothers, or mother figures, are the biggest legends around.
I’m sure, like the rest of the world, when Mother’s Day creeps up on you every year, you feel the panic and dread of having to find your female role model something nice, meaningful, useful and sentimental all at the same time. On top of this, you feel the need to try and get her something that makes up for everything she’s done for you throughout your life. This is an impossible task at the best of times, afterall, nothing will make up for your having to go without wine for 9 months, let alone everything else she’s done for you over the years!
And while you can’t pay your mother figures back for everything she has done for you over the years, here at Show TV we are making this Mother’s Day easier than ever.
To help your role models relax, we have put together a couple of Pamper Packs, so your mother figure can take some much needed ‘me time’ this Mother’s Day and treat herself to a rare day off.
We have comprised our Pamper Packs of our most popular beauty products so your mother figure can sit back, relax and enjoy a day that’s all about her.
To give your mother figure something that she will truly love, you can choose from our following pamper packs:
Petite Pamper Pack
Petite Mother's Day Pamper Pack
Deluxe Pamper Pack
Deluxe Mother's day Pamper Pack
Flawless Pamper Pack
Flawless Mother's Day Pamper Pack
Take the stress out of this Mother’s Day with our special Pamper Packs, made for the mother figure who deserves something special.
Not all heroes wear capes, but all mothers deserve a Pamper Pack!

]]>On average, throughout our lives we spend 26 years sleeping! And if this isn’t shocking enough, we spend an extra 7 years actually trying to get to sleep. This equates to us spending a third of our lives, 12,045 days, or 227,760 hours in bed.
As the quality of our sleep affects our mood, energy and overall well being, these statistics highlight how important it is to invest in the right bedding, to enhance our health as much as we can.
An area of our lives that is highly affected by the bedding we use, is the health and well being of our skin and hair! Did you know, your face has more contact with your pillowcase than any other fabric throughout the day? This accentuates the importance of using good quality bedding that won’t damage your skin.
For this week's featured product, we are introducing our new range of Mulberry Silk pillows and pillowcases, which are part of our up and coming beauty brand Amberelle. As a brand embodying all things beauty, we have decided to bring a collection of silk pillowcases into Amberelle, to protect your skin and hair while you sleep!
Mulberry silk pillowcases not only provide a comfortable night's sleep but are a must have when it comes to healthy hair and skin, providing many benefits to our overall health.
Silk has one of the lowest absorption rates of any fabric, meaning that the natural oils on your face, as well as the skincare products you use, remain on your skin and absorb onto your face, rather than being soaked up into your pillowcase. Essentially, this means that when using silk pillowcases, your skin will stay moisturised and hydrated, reducing the need to use moisturisers and other oils on your skin. In contrast to this, cotton pillowcases suck the moisture from your face, causing dry, flaky skin, which leads to permanent damage. As well as this, cotton pillowcases absorb the dirt from your skin, causing breakouts and clogged pores while you sleep. Silk, however, eliminates these issues, keeping your skin soft, hydrated and clean, which reduces breakouts and clogged pores. Silk also prevents you from waking up with lines on your face, essentially preventing wrinkles, dryness and permanent signs of aging.
Silk pillowcases not only benefit your skin, but are also essential for healthy, luscious hair! Silk reduces static and frizz in your hair, which eliminates bedhead. This means you will wake up feeling fresh and ready to go, rather than having to force a comb through the knots that have formed overnight. Silk also contains naturally occurring amino acids that match those found in your hair, keeping your hair smooth and moisturised and reducing knots and split ends. Silk pillowcases are also recommended to prevent hair loss!
As well as benefits for your skin and hair, silk pillowcases have many advantages for your overall well being. Silk is naturally resistant to dust mites, fungus, mold and other allergens, making it naturally hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, meaning it’s a great solution for those suffering asthma, allergies and hay fever. As well as this, silk doesn’t require any chemically intensive crops, pesticides, herbicides and other chemical treatments, which reduces our exposure to chemicals and makes silk the healthiest fabric on the market.
As we spend a third of our lives in bed, having the right bedding is highly important. Silk pillowcases don’t only add an essential component to your beauty routine, protecting and enhancing your skin and hair while you sleep, but they also improve your overall health and wellbeing. In turn, this helps you get a better night's sleep, increasing energy levels and mood. So, to improve your sleep, and add an essential element to your skincare and beauty routine, checkout our new Mulberry Silk pillowcase collection!
]]>As we head into the Autumn months here in the Southern hemisphere, I’m sure a spring clean is the last thing on everyone’s minds. At the best of times, cleaning is not something that many people enjoy, and in the winter months it can be even more dreaded. However, cleaning the house is something that can’t be avoided, so we’re super excited to tell you all about a product that will make cleaning quick, easy and (dare I say) enjoyable.
For this week’s featured product blog we’re going to tell you all about the Nellie’s Wow Mop. With a mission to transform the conventional mop, the Nellie’s Wow Mop was created to scrub, buff and polish floors with minimal effort, making cleaning more satisfying and easier than ever!
If you’ve ever walked into a building or house that has been freshly cleaned, you’ll probably be familiar with the chemical smell that fills the air after several different bottles of cleaning products have been used to get rid of grime and dirt. These chemical based products not only contribute to water, air and waste pollution but are considered a major contributor to declining environmental conditions.
Fortunately, the Nellie’s Wow Mop has been designed with this in mind. Featuring a built in water tank that only needs to be filled with water and white vinegar, the mop provides an environmentally friendly floor cleaning alternative as it doesn’t require any chemical cleaning products to do the job! As well as this, the push-button, fingertip controlled liquid delivery system allows spot cleaning and reduces the need to overuse other chemical based cleaners. This also results in the mop paying for itself over time as you save hundreds of dollars a year on chemical cleaning products that are harmful to both the environment and your bank account!
The mop comes with a pair of durable microfibre cleaning pads that are machine washable, eco-friendly and can be reused up to 100 times. These pads have been created to be used in combination with one another to get the perfect streak free finish on every surface, as the blue microfibre pad scrubs the floors and the thick, white, fluffy pads get down into uneven surfaces, absorbing mess from carpets and rugs.
As a rechargeable mop that does the work for you, the high-frequency motor power twin oscillating heads scrub the floors over 700 times per minute, which is equivalent to 12 scrubs every second, giving you the ultimate floor scrub, buff and polish with ease.
Cordless, lightweight and featuring a long grip handle that provides unlimited maneuverability, the Nellie’s Wow Mop allows you to tackle dirt in all areas and directions effortlessly. The mop also features LED lights so that you can get a clear view of where your floors need extra attention.
Perfect for all types of flooring and offering a wide range of advantages to make cleaning your floors easier than ever, simply press the power button and let the mop do the work for you!
Old chemical cleaners are going out of fashion, so it’s time to put away your old mop and clean your floors like never before with the Nellie’s Wow Mop.

]]>On average, throughout our lives we spend 26 years sleeping! And if this isn’t shocking enough, we spend an extra 7 years actually trying to get to sleep. This equates to us spending a third of our lives, 12,045 days, or 227,760 hours in bed.
As the quality of our sleep affects our mood, energy and overall well being, these statistics highlight how important it is to invest in the right bedding, to enhance our health as much as we can.
An area of our lives that is highly affected by the bedding we use, is the health and well being of our skin and hair! Did you know, your face has more contact with your pillowcase than any other fabric throughout the day? This accentuates the importance of using good quality bedding that won’t damage your skin.
For this week's featured product, we are introducing our new range of Mulberry Silk pillows and pillowcases, which are part of our up and coming beauty brand Amberelle. As a brand embodying all things beauty, we have decided to bring a collection of silk pillowcases into Amberelle, to protect your skin and hair while you sleep!
Mulberry silk pillowcases not only provide a comfortable night's sleep but are a must have when it comes to healthy hair and skin, providing many benefits to our overall health.
Silk has one of the lowest absorption rates of any fabric, meaning that the natural oils on your face, as well as the skincare products you use, remain on your skin and absorb onto your face, rather than being soaked up into your pillowcase. Essentially, this means that when using silk pillowcases, your skin will stay moisturised and hydrated, reducing the need to use moisturisers and other oils on your skin. In contrast to this, cotton pillowcases suck the moisture from your face, causing dry, flaky skin, which leads to permanent damage. As well as this, cotton pillowcases absorb the dirt from your skin, causing breakouts and clogged pores while you sleep. Silk, however, eliminates these issues, keeping your skin soft, hydrated and clean, which reduces breakouts and clogged pores. Silk also prevents you from waking up with lines on your face, essentially preventing wrinkles, dryness and permanent signs of aging.
Silk pillowcases not only benefit your skin, but are also essential for healthy, luscious hair! Silk reduces static and frizz in your hair, which eliminates bedhead. This means you will wake up feeling fresh and ready to go, rather than having to force a comb through the knots that have formed overnight. Silk also contains naturally occurring amino acids that match those found in your hair, keeping your hair smooth and moisturised and reducing knots and split ends. Silk pillowcases are also recommended to prevent hair loss!
As well as benefits for your skin and hair, silk pillowcases have many advantages for your overall well being. Silk is naturally resistant to dust mites, fungus, mold and other allergens, making it naturally hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, meaning it’s a great solution for those suffering asthma, allergies and hay fever. As well as this, silk doesn’t require any chemically intensive crops, pesticides, herbicides and other chemical treatments, which reduces our exposure to chemicals and makes silk the healthiest fabric on the market.
As we spend a third of our lives in bed, having the right bedding is highly important. Silk pillowcases don’t only add an essential component to your beauty routine, protecting and enhancing your skin and hair while you sleep, but they also improve your overall health and wellbeing. In turn, this helps you get a better night's sleep, increasing energy levels and mood. So, to improve your sleep, and add an essential element to your skincare and beauty routine, checkout our new Mulberry Silk pillowcase collection!
]]>For this week's featured product blog, we’re going to tell you all about our Great Bungee Cord, which will leave your hands free and your mind at ease!
Here at Show TV, we love bringing in new, innovative products that will make our customers' lives easy, simple and stress free and this is just one of the reasons why we love the Great Bungee Cord.
If you’ve ever tied down a load on a trailer, roof rack, van or car, you’ll know that the hassle of securing everything in place is almost more trouble than it’s worth. Not only do you need to have a bucket full of bungee cords to suit all lengths, but you probably spend more time untangling your collection of bungees, rather than actually tying the load down. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there!
Holding up to 27kgs, the Great Bungee cords, however, can act as any length, as they are fully adjustable from just 20cm long to 182cm long. Featuring a patented cam system to adjust to desired length, this means that you won’t need a bucket load of tangled bungees, as the Great Bungee will adjust to any length for your convenience!
Bungee cords aren’t only fiddly when they are tangled, but they can also cause multiple injuries. Did you know, bungee cords travel up to 60mph when released and cause injuries each year, especially to the eye? On average, more than half of the eye injuries that occur each year are caused by bungee cords and can cause loss of vision and even require hospitalisation. These injuries occur when you over stretch a bungee cord, causing it to suddenly release if it isn’t attached properly. Most of the time, these injuries occur because the bungee is tight when you’re securing something in place and therefore, they can easily fling off if you pull them too tight. Our Great Bungee Cords are designed with this in mind and are created to avoid injury. Instead of a metal hook, the Great Bungee Cords feature a plastic gated clip made from spring steel, which makes them safer and more secure to prevent serious injury. As well as this, our bungees can be used to secure loads when they are loose and then tightened accordingly when they are in place. This means that the Great Bungee Cords can’t fling off and hit you in the eye, which makes them the safest bungee cord on the planet.
Perfect for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Great Bungee Cord is made from top quality latex rubber with a polyester jacket that's mould and mildew resistant, making them perfect for roof racks, bikes, kayaks, camping, storage, boating and much more.
Created with convenience, ease and safety in mind, make the most of the outdoors and take the stress out of your everyday life with the Great Bungee Cord.

As part of our blog series we are putting together a written playlist of ‘featured products’, where we will tell you all about our best selling and most popular products so you have all the information you need at your fingertips. To kick things off, our Euroblade heaters are front and centre, taking the stage to tell you all about how they will keep you warm during the winter months.
For six months each year no longer can you sit outside and watch the sunset with a cold beverage in your hand. Instead, you’re tucked up in bed by 6pm, with a cup of tea and your favourite dressing gown, watching feel good TV and counting down the days until summer.
We’ve all been there, the whole family huddled around a tiny heater that’s emitting less heat than your hair dryer, as you feel a hole burning in your pocket, not from the warmth of the heater but from the power bill it’s chewing through.
Our Euroblade heaters, however, have been designed to work quickly, quietly and efficiently, to make the long, cold months as easy, warm and comfortable as possible.
One of the most frustrating parts about winter is wanting to sit outside in the evening, those crisp, clear nights might appear beautifully serene, but they sure do chill you to the bone. Fortunately, our Euroblade heaters have an IP55 certified water and dust resistant rating and a high corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel protection grill, meaning they can be used both indoors and outdoors, keeping you warm in your favourite spot all year long. No longer do you have to put on 5 layers, a hat, a pair of gloves and a dressing gown when you want to sit outside on a clear winter night. Not only does this mean you can enjoy your alone time outside, but you can also host drinks and dinner parties all year round in your outdoor areas, without having to worry about keeping your guests warm!
As well as heating up quickly and being great for outdoor use, the Euroblade heaters use infrared heating technology, which means they warm people, rather than spaces. This means you will be left feeling warm and cosy in seconds, without the space you are in overheating. Featuring 4 different heat settings, you also have complete control over the heat output and power consumption of your Euroblade heater.
The Euroblade heaters feature a handy remote control, meaning you can adjust your temperature level and even set a timer that will automatically turn the heater off at your desired point throughout the day or night, without having to move a muscle!
With an easy set up and a slick modern design, the Euroblade heaters can mount vertically and horizontally on a wall or ceiling, whilst blending in beautifully with your home. If you want customised heating, that’s modern, stylish, energy efficient and guaranteed to do the job, look no further!
So, say goodbye to your gloves, hats, jackets, coats, onesies and boots and say hello to your Euroblade heater.

In this week's blog we wanted to tell you all about what’s happening behind the scenes and give you a sneak peek into the show lifestyle. Last week, our Show TV Creative Director Tessa joined our show team on the road as they demonstrated some of our best selling products at the Rotorua Home and Garden Show. To give you a behind the scenes glimpse of our lives on the road, we have put together a time-lapse video of our exhibitors at the event. We wanted to show you that there is a whole world of people who travel around the country, demonstrating products at shows all year round. This isn't just a full-time job, it’s a way of life, and there is a whole community of people who dedicate their lives to selling products at home shows, expos and other live events across the country. Having Covid-19 in the community affects everyone, including exhibitors. It stops them from being able to travel, display products, conduct live demonstrations and interact with customers in a friendly face to face environment. For many of our exhibitors, attending these live events to demonstrate and showcase products is their livelihood, and we are beyond grateful for everyone who has carried on attending these events, supporting our local businesses.
As well as Show TV hitting the road and continuing our show life, we have some super exciting things going on within our digital team, including the creation of a YouTube channel and a makeover of our website and social media pages. As a way to further connect with our audiences, we will be putting together polls, surveys and other fun ways to interact, so we can order in your favourite products and produce the content YOU want to see! Our Show TV blog, of course, is another way to do this. We want you to comment on our blogs each week to let us know the kind of content you want to see, so we can tailor what we create to suit you! So, leave us a comment below, let us know what you think about our blogs and what you want to see in the future, and who knows, maybe the next thing we create will be exactly what you have been looking for.

Not straying far from its roots, the heart of Show TV is based around providing local, friendly service, with a positive attitude and a familiar Kiwi smile and while years of hard work and determination has seen Show TV grow significantly, last year we were faced with perhaps our biggest struggle to date. Coronavirus. With the world panicked by the COVID-19 pandemic that started sending country after country into a nationwide lockdown, here in our little corner of the world, we prepared for the worst.
As home shows around the country were canceled and our largest form of revenue was put on standby, we thought we had perhaps seen the last of Show TV. Unsure about what to do, we had a meeting with our employees, mapping out a plan for the year. The one thing that we didn’t forget, which is perhaps the thing that saved us in the end, was our positive attitudes, so we decided to load up our cars with our products and head home, ready for lockdown.
Gathering our team together (virtually of course) we decided to start demonstrating our products online on our social media channels. I’m sure you can imagine the chaos of trying to pitch a product with children and partners running in and out of the background, but this actually proved to be one of our biggest strengths. We could finally demonstrate how to use our products in an everyday environment. Children got involved, partners helped out and we began to see a response from our customers that we had never seen before. People appreciated seeing the chaos of our lives because it was real, it was relatable. These people, the ones who watched our videos and laughed at the chaos of our lives in lockdown but still supported our business, helped save Show TV and for that we couldn’t be more grateful.
This brings us to today...
Never losing sight of the foundations that we were made from, we have adapted and developed over the years to supply New Zealanders with trending products from across the world in the most convenient way possible. They say that your biggest challenges are also the ones that shape you, and we couldn’t resonate more with this. The Coronavirus lockdown has helped us develop and adapt, allowing us to take our services into a digital space, as well as continuing with our much loved live trade events. We want to connect with our customers in the best way possible, and to do that, we are going to continue being open, honest and transparent. We want to build a community of like minded people and bring you the best products worldwide at a reasonable price.
We will be putting together weekly blogs to bring you exciting news, new products, keep you updated on our show schedule and provide you with the best deals available.
Above all, we want you to join us on this journey, so together we can adapt, grow and continue bringing you great products from across the world.
So stay safe and stay tuned for more exciting news to come.
