"Who's collecting money for Mum's birthday gift this year?" 🎁

We've all been there! Someone volunteers to buy the gift, then spends weeks chasing family members for their share. Well, we've just made group gifting SO much easier with our new partner Paysquad.

Here's how simple it is: choose your gift box, select Paysquad at checkout, and share the link in your family WhatsApp group. Everyone chips in when they can, and once you hit 100%, the gift automatically gets ordered. No more awkward "did you pay yet?" messages!

Perfect for birthday surprises, Mother's Day gifts, sympathy hampers, or any time the family wants to go in together on something special. Works brilliantly whether everyone's local or scattered across the country (or even overseas!).

Plus, every gift box supports 200+ small Kiwi producers, so you're spreading the love to local food heroes too.

Because the best gifts come from the heart, and now, from the whole whānau too. ❤️

🌅 Last call for Mother's Day magic! ✨

Those golden sunset moments with someone special deserve to be celebrated with treats made by passionate Kiwi artisans. Our Mother's Day gift box is packed with local treasures ready to make her smile.

TODAY is your last chance to order with guaranteed delivery before Mother's Day! Orders placed tomorrow might still arrive, but we can no longer promise they'll make it in time for the celebration.

Give her something as beautiful as a beach sunset shared together. Order today to secure your delivery! 💝

We recently hit a special milestone of 1,000 customer reviews, and while the nearly perfect 5-star rating makes us proud, we know who the real stars are: New Zealand's incredible artisan producers who fill our gift boxes with their craft and passion.

Each review tells a story: A daughter in Wellington opening a birthday gift arranged by her mum in Malta. A family watching their sister unwrap her 30th birthday box over video chat from across the globe. A friend receiving comfort during recovery with carefully selected local treats.

None of this would be possible without the 200+ small producers who trust us to showcase their products. From honey crafted by local beekeepers to chocolate made in small batches with aroha, every item represents countless hours of dedication from these talented makers.

Starting in Kāpiti with just a handful of local makers, we've grown to support artisans across Aotearoa. Getting here took countless late nights, careful attention to every detail, and an unwavering commitment to excellence from our small team. After our busiest Christmas season yet, reaching this milestone feels particularly special.

Thank you to our customers for choosing to support local, and to our producers for letting us be part of their story. Here's to celebrating Aotearoa's food heroes!

💝 Share a taste of your love story this Valentine's Day because real romance has roots.

From Central Otago's peaks to Kāpiti's shores, our regional gift boxes let you celebrate your journey through local flavours. Choose treats from where you first met, send a taste of their hometown, or share delights from places you dream of exploring together.

Just like Mat and Lydia from Apostle Hot Sauce (, pictured), who have been crafting their award-winning hot sauces together in Kāpiti for over 5 years, each box is thoughtfully curated with artisan treats made with aroha by passionate local producers. Because nothing says 'I love you' quite like supporting the communities that shaped your story. 🥰
