About Nelson Flower Press

Pressed-flower keepsakes that turn a baby's hand or footprint into life-size art, handcrafted in Nelson at 109 Milton Street in The Wood. The website says each piece uses real pressed flowers, arranged between glass in a frame, with the child's name and birth details. Customers choose a frame and writing colour online, then take an A4 print of the hand or foot and email a photo of it. The finished piece is sent within two weeks, and the studio ships across New Zealand and worldwide. Fine art prints are also available to order. The website says the maker is on a summer break, and custom keepsakes will return in early February.

Customers mention the flower choices and the tiny flowers most often. One says the flowers were preserved so perfectly that the keepsake is a timeless memory. Another describes the packaging, with extra details and a note, as thoughtful. Others say the work is intricate and personal, and that the process was simple and pleasant. The website says the piece suits new parents, grandparents and gifts for family, and that it has been given to people who have received many compliments on it.
