A Kiwiana gift is the one that says New Zealand without needing a card to explain it. It might be for a Kiwi at home, a friend who has moved to Sydney or London, or someone visiting who wants to take a piece of here with them. I've been designing Kiwiana pieces in steel since 2007, and these are the ones people come back for.
Kiwiana is the everyday stuff that feels like home: jandals, the silver fern, the kiwi, pōhutukawa flowering at Christmas, the shape of the two islands. The best Kiwiana gifts carry that feeling without ending up in a drawer. That's where steel earns its place. It hangs on the wall, lasts for decades, and won't chip, fade or break on the way.
Pōhutukawa flowers red right on Christmas, which makes it the most Kiwi of Christmas gifts. My pōhutukawa wall hanging in red and green is my best-selling piece every December, and it brings a bit of summer to a wall all year.
The symbol every Kiwi knows. The silver fern wall hanging is cut in matt black and hung on natural rope. Simple, and no team logo in sight.
Two icons in one. The kiwi and silver fern wall hanging is a lovely gift for a little Kiwi, or a big one living overseas.
Summer, the beach and the bach in one piece. The jandals wall hanging always gets a smile, especially from someone who has swapped them for thongs or flip-flops.
For the expat, the traveller, or the home office. My NZ map wall hanging is the gift that quietly says "this is home".
Tūī, fantail, kererū, kōwhai and mānuka all say New Zealand in a softer way. The tūī and flax wall hanging is a favourite, and the NZ bird gifts collection has the rest.
The unfurling fern frond, a symbol of new beginnings, makes a meaningful gift for a new home, a new job or a move overseas. The 30cm koru on rope is a good gift size.
Shipping is free within New Zealand on orders over $250.
This is one of the most common requests I get. Steel is one of the easiest things to send: it won't break like glass or ceramics, the rope hangings pack flat, and most of the pieces above weigh around 1 to 2kg. The smaller pieces cost just $18 to ship to Australia. You can have it sent straight to the person overseas, and there's never any pricing in the parcel. We ship worldwide too, with the cost shown at checkout.
The gifts to send overseas collection pulls together the pieces that travel best.
Ready-made pieces are dispatched within 48 hours. Personalised and custom pieces take longer, and I close for custom orders over the Christmas period, so order those early.
Sending to Australia for Christmas? Order by 3 December for economy shipping.

Pieces built around the icons people love: the silver fern, the kiwi, jandals, pōhutukawa, the NZ map and native birds like the tūī. A steel wall piece lasts for decades, so it gets kept rather than put away.
Something light, flat and hard to break. Steel rope hangings like the silver fern, kiwi and jandals weigh around 1 to 2kg, pack flat and post well. The smaller pieces cost $18 to ship to Australia.

Pōhutukawa, New Zealand's Christmas tree. It flowers red in December, so a pōhutukawa piece says Kiwi Christmas, here or overseas.
My Kiwiana wall hangings start at $139, with larger pieces and sets from around $180 to $210. Shipping is free within New Zealand on orders over $250.
Yes. Every piece is designed by me and made in Auckland, as it has been since 2007.
