Personalised gifting · Made in New Zealand

The gift that knows them.

Bespoke baskets and hand-crafted busy books, curated for one recipient at a time. Nothing off a shelf, nothing out of a standard box — every piece chosen because of who they are.

The Signature Basket

Tell us about them — the tea they hoard, the candles they burn, the dog that runs their house. Megan curates up to ten pieces around who they actually are, then finishes it with the useful luxuries every basket deserves.

For corporate thank-yous, too

A step above the generic client hamper: Megan builds each basket around what you actually learnt in the room — the coffee they rated, the team they mentioned, the dog under their desk. The thank-you that proves your business was paying attention.

A busy book they keep for life

Megan crafts a one-of-one felt busy book around your child — their name stitched to the cover, their world built into every page. Made to be played with at two and found again at forty.

Their name on the cover

Stitched in felt, letter by letter — no template, no reprints.

Letters, numbers & planets

First learning made touchable: pieces that button, zip, count and move.

Their favourite things

Pages built around what they love, in the spirit of the friends they adore.

A page for photographs

A pocket to hold pictures of the year they were small.
