Kiwi Journals — Stationery & Journals
Kiwi Journals is home to the Awesome Inc range of gratitude, resilience and mindset journals for children, teens and adults. Their journals combine positive psychology with simple, practical prompts designed to encourage reflection, resilience and stronger family connection. Kiwi Journals products are created and designed in New Zealand, with some items made locally and others produced overseas.
Tiny Leaf NZ — Natural Family Skincare
Tiny Leaf NZ is a whānau-owned, māmā-led business created by mother-and-daughter team Mei and Karen. Every balm, soap and butter is handmade in Wellington with aroha, using ingredients such as wild-harvested kawakawa, grass-fed tallow and carefully chosen natural oils.
Happy Valley Honey — Mānuka Honey & Hive Wellbeing Products
Happy Valley’s story stretches back decades, with family beekeeping knowledge at the heart of the business. They manage the journey from hive to finished product, producing genuine New Zealand Mānuka honey and hive-based products with a strong focus on traceability, authenticity and quality.
Do Not Disturb Sleep Company — Sleep & Rest Products
Do Not Disturb grew from a small team of skilled New Zealand craftspeople who adapted during the COVID years and ultimately found their focus in better sleep. Today, they remain a small family-and-friends company, creating sleep products in their Auckland workroom using natural materials, including New Zealand wool.
Holistic Hair® — Botanical Hair & Scalp Care
Behind Holistic Hair® are Nicky James-Baird and Jodene Fendall, two New Zealand women with a shared passion for natural wellbeing and healthy hair. Since taking over the business in 2015, they've combined their expertise in hair and scalp health with a love of botanical ingredients to create thoughtful, science-backed hair care. Their commitment goes beyond the products, with sustainability, ethical practices and caring for the environment at the heart of what they do.
More makers coming soon — we're always on the lookout for the next great NZ talent to add to our whānau.
