If you'd rather give something made here than another thing from a big store, this is my short guide to NZ made Christmas gifts for 2026. Everything below is my own design, laser cut in Auckland and finished by hand, and most of it is ready to send within 48 hours. For a longer list, see my NZ made gift ideas guide.
Native birds and NZ flowers in metal, from tui and fantails to pohutukawa and forget-me-nots, are an easy pick for a mum, sister or friend who loves her home or garden. Browse gifts for her.
For the dad or brother who doesn't want more stuff, metal art for the shed, deck, bar or bach lasts for years and doesn't need dusting. Kiwiana pieces like jandals and the NZ map suit a bach or shed. Browse gifts for him.
Corten garden stakes and sculptures weather to a natural rust and look better every year, so they suit parents, grandparents or anyone who has just moved. Browse garden art.
A family name sign, an established sign with the year a home was built, or a new address sign for a couple who've just bought. These are made to order, so check the custom cut-off date above. Browse personalised gifts.
Metal art travels flat and won't break in the post, which makes it one of the easier things to send across the Tasman. Smaller pieces cost $18 to ship to Australia, and the last day for economy shipping before Christmas is 7th December. Browse gifts to send overseas, or read my guide to Kiwiana gifts to give or send overseas.
