Gather & Graze is a New Zealand food, gifting and homewares business dreamed up in 2021 with one simple idea: snacks that look great and taste even better. The range has since grown into a full shelf of beautifully presented food, home and tableware, put together for specialty retail and gifting and sold through the brand's online store.
The snack selection covers both camps. Sweet-toothed grazers will find Three Little Birds chocolate sea salt caramels and coconut rough, The Candy Collective's party mix, sour lollies and gummy bears, and the Gather & Graze label's own chocolate fudge brownie and chocolate pretzels. Savoury fans get honey & dijon soy crisps, double cheese wafer bites and Better Bites rice crackers and caramel popcorn in easy, giftable pack sizes. The Cookie Co, August + Co and Savour collections round out the Eat range.
Beyond the snacks, T + Me teas and Uptown Coffee Co cover the drinking, Bailey + Gray looks after entertaining and the table — teapots, stoneware mugs, gold-foil MR and MRS mugs, stemless wine glasses, cheese knives, salad servers and stonewashed linen tea towels — and a VEYA collection adds beauty to the mix. The business works with shoppers and the trade alike, with a wholesale programme for specialty retailers, and welcomes enquiries at [email protected], Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 5.00pm.
Gather & Graze was dreamed up in 2021 with a simple brief: bring people snacks that look great and taste even better. A few years on, that idea has grown into a full shelf of beautifully presented food, home and tableware, assembled for specialty retail and gifting and available through the brand's online store.
The name says a lot about the ethos. This is food made for gathering around and grazing through — bags and boxes designed to be opened mid-conversation, set out on a table, and shared. Just as importantly, they are designed to be given: presentation is treated as part of the flavour.
Gather & Graze doesn't take sides in the sweet-versus-savoury debate. "Whether you are more of a savoury person or if you can't keep your hands off a sweet treat, we've got you covered," the site promises — and the product range backs that up.
On the sweet side, Three Little Birds handles the chocolate: sea salt caramels and coconut rough in 120g packs, the kind of thing that disappears faster than expected. The Candy Collective keeps the lolly jar full with a party mix, a sour lolly mix and classic gummy bears, while the Gather & Graze label contributes its own 80g chocolate fudge brownie and chocolate pretzels for anyone who likes their sweet with a little salt.
Savoury grazers are well served too. Honey and dijon soy crisps bring a tangy crunch, the gourmet double cheese wafer bites lean rich and cheesy, and Better Bites keeps portion sizes friendly with 30g caramel popcorn and 70g BBQ rice crackers — the sort of packs that slip into a work bag or a gift box without fuss. Further collections under the Eat banner, including August + Co, The Cookie Co and Savour, round out the pantry.
The Drink section pairs T + Me teas — Earl Grey comes boxed with 20 tea bags — with coffee from Uptown Coffee Co, so the beverage side is covered whether the mood is black tea or something from the bean.
Where Gather & Graze quietly sets itself apart is in the entertaining and homewares edit from Bailey + Gray. A matte white 600ml teapot, a generous 400ml stoneware mug and matching MR and MRS mugs finished in gold foil make an easy matching set; a two-piece cheese knife set, a salad server set and a pair of 542ml stemless wine glasses take care of the serving; and a 100% stonewashed linen tea towel in charcoal grey adds a soft, textural finishing touch. A VEYA collection extends the offer into beauty.
Everything here speaks to two audiences at once. The first is the everyday gift-giver: the whole framing is snacks, gifting and homewares, and the products are chosen and packaged to be handed over as presents, whether that's a small bag of gummy bears as an add-on or a teapot-and-tea pairing as the main event. The second is the trade — specialty retailers can enquire about stocking the range through a dedicated wholesale page, which is how the brand's beautifully presented promise reaches shop shelves.
Practicalities are straightforward. Prices include GST, with shipping calculated at checkout, and a newsletter — cheerfully introduced with "Hungry for more?" — invites shoppers to stay across what's new.
Gather & Graze operates Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 5.00pm, and welcomes enquiries at [email protected] or through the Get in touch page. Whether you're after a snack top-up, a thoughtfully assembled gift, or a wholesale conversation for your own store, that's the door to knock on.
The formula, since 2021, has been easy to summarise: take snacks people already love, present them beautifully, and put everything you'd need to serve them — teapots, mugs, glasses, knives and linen — within arm's reach. It's a small idea executed with care, and it's exactly what the brand set out to do.
