For the Xmas loverโฆ
Shelf Home + Gifts is located on the hill in Cashmere, Christchurch and sells a range of products which includes jewellery, scarves, bags, homewares and baby gifts. There's a doorway through to a great little cafe called Emperor's New Clothes so customers can have a mooch in Shelf and get their caffeine fix all at the same time! There are a lot of young families in the area and a school nearby so I make sure I have gifts for all ages and all budgets.

For the families...
FamilySpaces is all about bringing calm to busy whฤnau life. We design simple, practical organiser boards that make it easier for families to stay on top of routines, meals, activities, and everything in between. Our boards are made for real family homes โ easy to use, bilingual (English + Te Reo Mฤori), and designed here in Aotearoa.
We help busy parents, caregivers, and whฤnau who want to feel less overwhelmed and more connected, with tools that lighten the mental load and make daily life run more smoothly.
At the heart of FamilySpaces is our own family โ Luke and Elizabeth, our teens Lydia and Asher, and Elizabethโs mum Maxine. We know first-hand how messy, wonderful, and chaotic family life can be, and thatโs why weโve created tools to bring a little more calm and clarity to yours.

For sensitive skinโฆ
I formulate and manufacture beautiful skin care in the form of creams and butters, mists and serums. I want to take skin care back to basics and I try and use predominantly New Zealand grown ingredients. My focus is on ethical skincare, so not only vegan and cruelty free, but also that I am completely educated on the supply source for each ingredient.

For stationery loversโฆ
Journals, washi tape, wall planners, planner stickers, mental merch and so much more for those who love stationery, pretty stuff or being organised!
Want stationery that doesn't cost an arm, a leg and a kidney to afford? Me too! That's why the Journal Junkies Basics range of gorgeous stationery was born. Honestly, I was sick of big brands with crappy paper making it hard for my little stationery shop to supply NZ and AUS with the coolest stationery around. So I said โF*** it, Iโm making my own!โ It started with some stickers, then some Filofax Inserts, and now there's a range of notebooks designed just for Stationery Addicts in the southern hemisphere!
-Nancy
For the conscious home lover
Ultimately Ecovask was born as a result of unveiling our new kitchen to some German friends who were apparently a bit mortified by our manky, hole ridden disposable dishcloth hanging over the tap.
Next minute, we were couriered a life changing magnetic dishcloth holder to help keep our dishcloth out of sight.
That small act of honesty, set me on a trajectory trying to find less manky dishcloths. Which eventually came in the form of a Danish find in 2016 - finely knitted cotton cloths.
It was love at first try and we haven't looked back since!

Gifts for working mumsโฆ
We designed a Collection of handbags for the transition for mum's on maternity leave transitioning back to work. Our take on sustainable fashion is based on the idea of less waste through designing functional and stylish bags that are convertible bags. We want you to have your happily ever After Story.
Our handbags are all made out of Vegan leather with a water resistant lining and YKK zippers so you know that you are getting a quality bag. And to back up our belief in the workmanship and quality materials, we offer a lifetime guarantee.
Each handbag is named after the location that the bag was inspired from - London is for the fast-paced gal, Florence for adventure, and Vallarta, from Puerto Vallarta - for those that want to look like they're relaxed!

For petsโฆ
I am a veterinarian and I have created Genius Pet Food - a premium, New Zealand made pet food. I help pet owners who are unsure about their pet's nutrition by providing a food that they can trust will meet the needs of their pet. Genius Pet Food is formulated using the latest research and advice from veterinarians and Animal Nutritionists worldwide to produce a diet that optimises the health and longevity of your pet by ensuring the full range of essential amino acids are available to maximise nutrient absorption from the gut and to maintain heart health. Our main ingredient is New Zealand King Salmon and our food is high in real meat protein and high in essential omega 3 fatty acids. It is low allergen, so is perfect for dogs with skin and gut issues and older dogs with joint problems and arthritis. The high meat content ensures even the fussiest eaters are satisfied. As a veterinarian I can provide customers with nutritional advice including advising on weight loss programmes and helping dogs with allergic skin disease.
