A shop that sells only New Zealand artists, designers and makers, on Level 3 of the Westfield Newmarket mall at 277 Broadway. Its range covers handcrafted jewellery, art prints, pounamu, ceramics and Kiwi gifts. Its website lists brands across that range, from rimu chopping boards and native-bird homeware to natural skincare and children's toys. The business has celebrated NZ creativity since 2016, and it also sends gifts to friends and family overseas.
Customers say the products are great, the prices affordable, and that they can be sure the goods are made in New Zealand. One shopper says a staff member was very nice and helpful on their first visit. Another has bought gifts for colleagues on special occasions for ten years, and says each one was loved. A couple say the staff's expertise and humour helped them choose a cutting board and another gift. In a mall shop, the NZ-made label is what sets this range apart from the imported gifts beside it. Our pick in Newmarket for a gift with a local story.
