These beautiful gifts are from one of the most beautiful countries in the world - Aotearoa - the Maori name for New Zealand.

New Zealand is renown for its picturesque countryside, sailboats, bubbling mudpools, towering snow-clad mountains and its flowering Christmas Tree - the pohutukawa - which thrives along the sandy beaches and glistening waters that surround the country's three major islands. The New Zealand landscape offer visitors unbelievable scenery - rambling high country sheep stations encompassing mountains and rivers and undulating hillsides; elevated bridges overlooking long meandering rivers from which bungee-jumpers fly; lengthy sweeps of snow and ice which provide skiers with a winter playground that competes with anything else around the world. From the depth of the bubbling mudpools and geysers of the central North Island, health and cosmetic products are developed which boast of therapeutic qualities; gigantic kauri trees which were saplings when early settlers arrived are now crafted into furniture and containers for all uses. Rugged and sandy shorelines offer shells and stones that have been creatively crafted into the most elegant natural jewellery. The artistic talents of the people who are a part of New Zealand's eclectic culture - a mixture of the Maori, Pakeha, Polynesian and Asian communities - have woven the natural beauties of this land into the superb range of garments, jewellery, art and crafts, and music offered by "Products of New Zealand".
