Very colloquial.

"Here is the things" ?

It doesn't work as well without the short form. ;-)

When does 'wrong' become 'very colloquial'?

Its wrong. Very colloquial would be: "Here're the things you asked for."

You do hear it quite a lot in the UK, though.

As a teacher, I would warn students that it would be marked wrong in most exams.

If enough native speakers use it, is it wrong?

Willbut, going by the same logic, if enough people break the law, does that mean the law is wrong?

Probably

Although it is wrong, I hear people use this kind of thing all the time. When seeing someone like a relative that they haven't seen in a while they will say "So, how's things going?" It does sound more correct than "How is things going?" but it is wrong.
