The silly season may be well and truly upon us, but New Zealand's Prime Minister says he's yet to buy his wife a Christmas present.

Speaking to Mike Hosking this morning on Newstalk ZB, John Key said he is yet to go Christmas shopping for his wife Bronagh.

But he said his better half was very organised, and had already bought gifts for their kids Max and Stephie.

Mr Key told Hosking that despite the fact that he was yet to go shopping, he loved opening presents just as much as his children did.
