For years, we’ve been struggling to find the perfect gift for friends and family. We always wanted something that was both unique and representative of our beautiful New Zealand regions. But finding the right local gift basket was nearly impossible because most of what’s available in shops or online looked outdated and too commercial.

Our Celebrating Canterbury Gift Box solves all these problems by giving you access to high-quality products at affordable prices with shipping to any address in NZ. Now you can send your loved ones local goods they’ll love and support small businesses throughout Aotearoa.

Amazing gifts and great customer service. I ordered a gift box for my mum for Mother’s Day and forgot to add a card.

I would definitely would recommend these guys and will be shopping with them again. Thanks team 😊 - 05/05/2022

What beautiful gifts, and such personal service. I ordered a gift box for my mum and forgot the card, then got a phone call from the owner of the company asking if I would like her to write a note and pop it in for me. I would absolutely recommend these guys. - 05/05/2022

Christine M

Such great personal service - extremely rare these days to experience it. I wanted to order an "Auckland" themed (per pic) gift box for a b'day. There was a notice on their website warning of potential delivery delays & to ring if delivery date was critical. I rang & spoke to the co-owner I think, who pretty much reacted immediately, promising to start on the order I was yet to place online, so that it would be ready for their 11am courier due in 10mins, giving it a better chance to reach Picton next day. Outstanding. And it's great to support the NZ food/wine producers whose products go into the boxes too. - 03/05/2022

Dave Hodgson

We recently received a We Love Local care package from my husband’s employer which was an awesome surprise. Then when some friends were having a bit of a hick up we decided to send them a (W.L.L.) care package. Their reaction was one of pure surprise and gratitude. That’s what we love about this product. Supporting local artisans and sharing the love.Thank you. - 02/05/2022
