(Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain)
"Experience the unique artistry of New Zealand with our handpicked collection of gifts, designed and created by local New Zealand artists. Founded in 2018 by Andy Little, a renowned carver at Otarere Maori Art & Crafts, our business is committed to supporting local artists and showcasing the best of New Zealand artistry. From classic Maori carvings to high-quality pounamu, bone carvings, and other authentic artworks, our collection reflects the timeless beauty and cultural heritage of New Zealand. We also feature innovative works that blend modern and traditional materials, created by some of the most talented artists around.

The old Otarere Maori Arts building is now closed but lives on with the new online business New Zealand Gifts, which carries on the traditions and old standards set by the former owner, Henry Perenara. Thank you for shopping here and supporting the continuation of this proud legacy."
