A huge clear-out sale in Kerikeri this weekend aims to be both a tribute to the late shop owner and a financial support for her family.
Nalinee Giri, the owner of Jaffas Dressing Rooms, in a pink house opposite Countdown on Kerikeri Rd, was well known in the town for
her vibrant character and generosity, as well as her eclectic and colourful range of goods.
She also established what she called a ''give a little, take a little'' movement, stocking fridges outside her store with free food, clothing and books, and encouraging people to donate or take as they needed.
The 56-year-old died in tragic circumstances at Wharau Bay on April 13.
The one-off sale at Jaffas Dressing Rooms will run from 8.30am until at least 4.30pm on Saturday and Sunday with the prices on all items significantly reduced.
