Christmas Trees in store! 🎄🎄

We love Christmas here at Independent Living, so much so that April from our Botany store starts counting down from 100 days out!

The festive spirit is strong across all our locations, and a bit of friendly rivalry has kicked off over who has the best-decorated tree. Here’s a peek at how our amazing teams have decked the halls.

Head into store to see them in person! 🎄🎁

Great Gift Idea | Comfort Socks

Our 'non-slip tread' blended wool sock enables you to step with grip. You will find that the sole grips well on hard surfaces including timber, lino and tiles. This has been achieved with the application of anti-slip Plastisol based ink. For added warmth, comfort and safety when stepping out, enjoy these non-slip tread socks.

Available in multiple colourways. Purchase them here: https://ilsnz.org/products/slipresistantsocks?variant=15360192643175
