Gifts for foodies
Ceramics handmade from the heart. I create with a sense of nostalgia and the colours of my beach environment in mind. I love that ceramics can bring a little mindfulness and joy to every day. Cradling your first cuppa in the morning, enjoying your cereal in a special bowl, or toast on a gorgeous plate is a lovely way to start your day. My most popular item is my coveted garlic-ginger grater. A beautiful practical kitchen item (that doubles as a spoon rest). I use mine daily for a fresh hot ginger tea, or when cooking stir-fry or curries. So giftable!

For the fashionista…
Snazzy Shop loves beautiful handbags, phone pouches and wallets with a difference! My love of handbags didn't start until during my OE when I came across the Candian brand ESPE while living in Canada. Their products are quite unique because the designs are inspired by nature - beautiful flowers, a cute ladybug, bird or cat are often a feature. Or a lovely flower attachment to make a plain bag really pop. Espe products are made from quality vegan leather and are fun, fashionable and functional - they're hard not to love!
-Lisa
For the jewelry lover…
Looking for the perfect gift to give? Or treasure to keep for yourself?Through Curlicue NZ, I love to help make women and girls feel beautiful without making any changes to themselves - by wearing distinctive and sustainably elegant handcrafted jewellery. Using recycled Sterling Silver, I either handcraft contemporary wire jewellery, or wire-wrap freshwater pearls, Swarovski Crystals and semi-precious stones - including NZ Greenstone and hand-polished NZ Kauri Gum to make a range of accessories. I also love to up-cycle pre-loved and heirloom beads or jewellery to make something new and special, and have recently added a collection of earrings made from repurposed plastic milk bottles. Although sustainably sourced Sterling Silver is the main metal I use, I also create pieces with copper, brass and Stainless Steel, and can also make earring hooks out of Titanium wire.
